The Reading Eagle - Dan Kelly's Korner: Horse rescuer, like the animals she cares for, gets another chance  http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=210492

http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=210492   Thank you to Dan Kelly and Susan who took the time to visit us and do an article about AC4H.  We grately appreciate the publicity.  Correction - the 30 horses saved last week referred to in the article while many were purchased from New holland auction for the purpose of slaughter they were broker owned horses not purchased directly from New Holland by AC4H but saved by a lot of wonderful people - teamwork saves a lot of lives!  There are horse s killed for zoo meat and pet food but the majority are slaughterbound for human consumption in foreign coutries.  Also, AC4H is located in Berks County, North Heidelburg Township.  Again thanks to the Reading Eagle for taking the time to publicise this we appreciate it grately!

It's out the National Geographic article on the Mustangs...http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/02/wild-horses/fuller-text/1
 
Dear Christy,
I am a writer for National Geographic Magazine writing about wild horses for an April '09 issue.  I have been lookng EVERYWHERE for proof that mustangs have been and are getting sent to slaughter & finally, here you are!  The BLM acknowledges the scandal of the Clavel Slaughterhouse when 41 BLM Sales Authority  horses were sent to slaughter but they deny that there are any other horses that have met this fate (they claimed they contacted DOMESTIC slsughter houses to prevent this from ever happening again).  It looks as if you have evidence that the horses were sent to Canda though, at least in 2005. Please call or email any time.
 
Best, Alexandra Fuller

5-12-08  HBO investigates horse slaughter -http://www.hbo.com/realsports/stories/2008/episode.134.s1.html.  Few casual horse racing fans are aware that many former racing horses are slaughtered for profit. When a thoroughbred race horse reaches the end of its career or is simply no longer profitable on the track, it is often taken directly to auction and sold for meat. Because horse slaughter is no longer practiced in this country, these thoroughbreds are now being shipped by "killer buyers" to slaughterhouses abroad, which are frequently less regulated and less humane than former U.S. slaughterhouses. Correspondent Bernard Goldberg, who recently won the 2008 Sports Emmy(r) for Outstanding Sports Journalism for his 2007 REAL SPORTS story on the NFL concussion crisis, traces the disturbing journey many of these young and healthy horses take from the track, to auctions, to slaughterhouses, and finally to the plates of European and Japanese diners who pay top dollar for the delicacy.
