It's Saturday and I am meant to be gardening, but it is raining off and on so am trying to catch up with LJ and even popped onto FB ... this before lunch in the hope it clears after lunch.
So, how are you all? Having a fun weekend - I do hope so.
I said I popped over onto facebook - well I snagged this from o
oldgreymare.. even if you have never owned a horse, think of your 4 legged friends ... And for those who are pet-free, spend a moment to think of my Jaykub. Sadly I wasn't with him when he died, although that does mean my memories of him are all happy ones. My best friend and her daughter were with him (as well as his 2 best pny friends) ... I still miss him, 9 years on.

When our first dog died I said I was never going to go through that pain again - mum said that the pain was there as Perry had given us 5 years of love ... that was very special - and so true.
Than God for our 4 legged people

Date: 2012-06-14 03:19 pm (UTC)Here in NM we are having an EPIDEMIC of abandoned horses due to the economy. half and near starved horses are being just turned loose and rescue facilities are at double capacity and having to turn them away. Meanwhile there are arguments for permission for a horse slaughterhouse to be built in southern NM adding to the debates. I am just so heartbroken reading and seeing on the local news as story after story is covered. These noble animals have a special bond with humans (like dogs and cats) and need to be treated well. Like dogs and cats there are emotional concerns as well as physical. It is just tragic!

About 10 years ago in England we had a spate to abused horses ... like many "pets" they are so trusting of humans, and it led to a lot being badly injured. They are such beautiful animals - such strong spirits.
There are many abandoned horses around ... the charities are finding it hard to cope.
All the horses I knew had vets come to them to put them to sleep.
