Our extensive work with slaughter bound horses has been
used as examples and testimony to educate Senators, Congress, 4 H
groups, schools and the general public. American's Against
Horse Slaughter chose My Little Bean as Spokes horse, from The
race track to the slaughter pen - "Stable to Table" to educate
in Washington DC... My Little Bean Flyer for DC
http://www.udel.edu/alex/pdf/beanie.pdf Our very public rescue of "Little Cliff"
assisted in creating awareness about Thoroughbred horses going
directly to slaughter from the race tracks. Zero tolerance
policies started to be implemented at some of the tracks due to
public outrage and demand for change.
Our work with the neglected Paragallo horses,
the first victims made public through our website, led to their
herdmates (around 170 horses) being assisted. Paragallo has
been a fixture in New York racing, starting 4,686 runners and
earning $20.6 million in purses. He owns half of
Unbridled’s Song, who is one of the most successful sires in
thoroughbred racing and commands a $125,000 stud fee. The
New York Racing Association revoked his credentials in April.
The New
York State Racing and Wagering Board forced Paragallo to surrender
his agent’s license shortly after he was arraigned on the charges in
April. His daughters Kristen and Jennifer gave up their owners’
licenses. There is no place in thoroughbred or harness track racing
in New York for anyone involved in the callous neglect or
mistreatment of horses,” said John D. Sabini, the Racing and
Wagering Board chairman.
Changes for Race horses have been
made subsequently. Alex Waldrop President and CEO of the
National Thoroughbred Racing Association stated the alleged
adbication of responsiblity for the welfare of one's horses
either directly or indirectly is unaccpetable and that if charges
should prove true, authorities should move swiftly to impose
the most severe penalites applicable under the circumstances.
In the wake of allegations of horse abuse on Ernie
Paragallo's Center Brooke Farm, The New York
State Racing and Wagering Board has made plans
to tighten its ownership read more here! Rather than census they are
now going to do site checks

Just a little advice - quarantine a
new horse regardless of where the horse came from for a minimum of 2
weeks as a precaution. In spring and fall the grass changes
levels of sugar - keep a close eye on your horse and their feet,
digestive system during this time. Don't forget to worm for
bots after frost - and after proper de-worming schedule. If you
worm a horse with a strong wormer without a proper de-worming
cycle you can bind, colic and kill your horse.
A
horse that is slaughtered immediately ceases to contribute to the
economy. A horse that lives adds constantly to the economy. He
requires food, a veterinarian, a farrier, a dentist, and people to
care for him. The ripple effect of that living horse across the
economy is huge. Hay and grain will be grown and bought for him; he
will require medication and vaccinations; he will require a place to
live, like a boarding stable. Money for the economy.
So.... What is going on?
State
regulations shut down the US Slaughter plants. However, the horses
have always been exported to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for human
consumption and they are looking to open slaughter houses in the USA
AGAIN!
State by state.....
New Regulations by EU - requiring 6 month Quarantine on Slaughter
horses starting 2010! What will happen? Horses now are not
quarantined before going to slaughter. Hence the statement "stable
to table in 7 days". The way things are right now it won't be
possible to do so - I fully expect the EU to find a way around it.
The EU recently announced that they will simply have
the kill buyer sign a form saying that the horses haven't received meds!
