Wild Horses Saved from Slaughter
All of us reading this blog are likely to be “animal junkies.” I am proud to be called that, even though many people throw it out as a put down. I don’t care and in fact, I feel sorry for the pitiful people who have never known the love of a pet or companion animal. [...]

Stop Slaughter of US Horses
Many people banded together and stopped a proposed law in Missouri that would have allowed the slaughter of horses so the horse meat could be sold for human consumption. That was a victory for animal rights activists. At least until the next time this same bill is brought up before the legislature for a vote. [...]
Stem Cells Help Dogs and Horses
Anyone who has been around dogs and a whole lot of people who haven’t know about hip dysplasia which is a degenerative disease of the rear hip sockets in dogs. Most people who have been around horses or are interested in them know about splayed tendon. Certainly everyone knows about arthritis which affects older dogs, [...]
More Wild Horse Roundups Planned
The death toll keeps rising for wild horses because of the roundups that have already taken place. But the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is already scheduling more roundups. Seriously, what in the world is wrong with these people? According to this bureaucratic arm of our government 2000 horses can’t be sustained on a half [...]
Heart Warming Horse
Hurricane Katrina was a disaster of monumental proportions for the people of the United States and for the people of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans in particular.

Stop Horse Slaughter
I was born in Missouri and grew up just across the state line in Kansas. There were many slaughter houses and meat packing plants in the Kansas City area. The stink was in the air from these plants for miles and you smelled it every day as you drove into Kansas City from the suburbs. [...]
Stop Deadly Wild Horse Round Ups
The Bureau of Land Management just seems to be steaming ahead with its plans to decimate the wild horse population in Nevada. If they continue with their cruel and inhumane round ups , Nevada will lose the majority of its wild horse population. All of this is to please a few big ranchers who want [...]
How Cold Are You
My son has a blog called lunacanus.com. Luna Canus means Moon Doggie. That is because he spent the majority of his life living at the beach in California. His site is NOT about animals. It is a site about the politics of today from a left leaning, small town view. I want you to know this before [...]
Wild Horses Killed in Round Up
The BLM likes to tell us how much they care about the wild horses of the western United States. They also like to tell us they have no more room for the horses they keep rounding up. Of course, the big ranchers like to let us know that there isn’t enough grazing land for the [...]
Therapeutic Horse Riding
In my opinion, animals improve anyones life. Whether its a dog, cat, ferret, gerbil, pig or any number of other animals people who live alone, senior citizens, shut-ins, the handicapped and families benefit from the presence of animals in their lives. Haven’t we all known this for quite some time? But did you know that riding [...]
Wild Horses Need More Help
I know I am probably driving you to distraction with posts about signing petitions or writing letters about various groups of animals that need help. I really wish the need was not there. But, the fact is that lots of species are in trouble. A lot of it is caused by our own ignorance and [...]
Reward Offered for Horse Abuser
A gray filly approximately two years old was found June 30, 2009 wandering in the desert. She was found near Round Mountain, Nevada which is about 235 miles south of Reno, in the middle of the state. It is bad enough that the filly had just been abandoned to fend for herself and one might [...]
