Kellie Pickler - Humane or Hypocrite?

http://www.sharkonline.org/



Kellie Pickler claims to care about animals, and she even accepted PETA's "Sexiest Vegetarian" award. So why is Kellie Pickler performing at perhaps the most cruel rodeo in the world?

American Indians PRAY for Horse-Slaughter PlantsTarget:The National Congress of American IndiansSponsored by: Friends of Equines Society FOES of Equine Slaughter
Americans dont eat horses. Polls taken over the years have consistantly shown that most Americans find the thought of eating horseflesh reprehensible. Nevertheless, despite Americas abhorance to the notion of eating horses, America continues to be the worlds largest exporter of horses for human consumption abroad.

Currently, there is a bill in the United States Congress that would
protect our American Horses from slaughter for human consumption.
The bill, HR 503, would also protect them from being exported to other countries for slaughter. HR 503 is a very popular bill, not only with the majority of the American people but with a majority of legislators too.
Our opponents are few but powerful, that is, they have the money to influence the vote in DC., and they do. (It only takes ONE wrongway
vote to kill a bill)

Last summer, The National Congress of American Indians quietly
submitted to our U.S. Congress, "invoking the devine blessing of the
creator upon their efforts,"... a proposal to amend HR 503, our National anti-horse slaughter bill. They are seeking to include an ammendment
that will allow for the building of horse-slaughter plants on Indian lands. You can read the full text of the proposed amendment below;

http://www.ncai.org/ncai/resolutions/doc/DEN-07-100_with_sigs_amended_dc.pdf

Signers we urge you to please contact the National Congress of American Indians to tell them what you think of their idea. Below is a link to their site;

Remind them of the story of "Horse-Slaughter Camp" where, during the 1840's, the U.S. Cavalry captured a band of Palouse Indians along with a large herd of their prized horses. The Indians were horrified when the soldiers began to mercilessly slaughter their entire herd of 800 horses.
To save bullets, the babies were clubbed in the head. Here is an excerpt from a witness to the massacre;

The defeated Indians wondered what nature of mankind could kill horses -- stallions, geldings, mares, and colts -- in such a cold-blooded manner? They never forgot the horse slaughter
http://www.spokaneoutdoors.com/horsesc.htm
"What monsters could do such a thing," they thought.

Surley there must be a better way for our Native American friends and neighbors to make a living.. Do they really have to rely on the blood of
our American Horses to improve their lot? We dont think so and we are shocked to know that even some American Indians do. Are these pro-horse slaughter Indians a minority? We hope so! Let the voices of the anti-horse slaughter Indians be heard.

While cultures and customs vary, all Native American Indian beliefs are rooted in Animism, meaning that they believe(d) the universe was bound together by the spirits within ALL natural life, from plants, animals, humans, water, and even the Earth itself. Thus it would seem that the slaughtering of horses by Indians to satisfy the whitemans greed would go against that religion. In otherwords, its ungodly.

There are other, better ways to generate income. Moreover, The
American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus) includes approximately $3 billion that will go toward direct tribal programs,
another $500 million will be available in financing provisions, and a
number of programs include tribes as eligible recipients.

How about we build our National Equine Rescue on their lands or even our National Wild Horse Sanctuary / Park?
Surely something like that would be more in line with Native American religious beliefs.

We are imploring our Native American friends and neighbors, by this petition, to re-think their postion on horse-slaughter, and to come to
their senses and to adhere to their religious beliefs that all life is sacred, and help us to PRESERVE the lives of our American horses instead of assisiting the whiteman in sending them to needless, senseless,
merciless slaughter.

There is an Indian legend which says: "When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into Heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away. "

Thank you signers for taking the time, but mostly, thank you for caring about the terrible plight of our American Horses today.

May the Spirit of the Horse Go With You
Warrior Woman.

Drug Protocol Turns Rescued Mares into Nurse Mares

Article # 13103

A medication protocol that can induce lactation in "open" mares has changed the way prominent Kentucky Standardbred nursery, Walnut Hall Ltd., manages its nurse mare herd, while giving more than 20 rescued mares a new Walnut Hall's vet, Joe Lyman, DVM, based the technique on presentations by Peter Daels, DVM, PhD, and John Steiner DVM, Dipl. ACT. Using their methods, not only can unbred mares that have previously had at least one foal be persuaded ...

Freedom Horse - Anthony Marr's tribute to the Mustang

From: Anthony Marr

**A stunningly beautiful video that should be viewed by anyone who loves animals-a fitting tribute to these amazing creatures...

Anthony Marr's last name in Chinese means Horse. Not only is he an animal rights actvist, he has developed personal relationships with many animals, including horses. His work is to safeguard all life on Earth, including the horse, wild and domestic. In his eyes, the horse is among the most beautiful and dignified of all creatures ever evolved, in the Solar System at least. It must not be destroyed by Man, even if Man destroys itself. Unfortunately, given the upcoming detonation of the M-Bomb, the long term prognosis is far from good..



Long may you run, Mustang!

MT: Tell Senate to Keep Horse Slaughterhouses Out of Your State!

MT: Tell Senate to Keep Horse Slaughterhouses Out of Your State!

MT HB 418—Allows Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption
Sponsor(s): Rep. Ed Butcher
ASPCA Position: Oppose
Action Needed: Please call the Montana Senate Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation Committee today and urge its members to oppose HB 418.

Update, 3/11/09: Unfortunately, HB 418 passed the Montana House and moved to the Senate, where it is currently being considered by the Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation Committee.

Introduced by State Rep. Ed Butcher, Montana House Bill 418 would allow investor-owned horse slaughter plants to operate in Montana and prohibit courts from granting injunctions to stop or delay the construction of a horse slaughter plant. It is strongly opposed by the ASPCA.

Please understand that horse slaughter is NOT euthanasia—it is the processing of horses into meat for human consumption. Proponents of this bill claim that the slaughter of unwanted horses is more humane than euthanasia, but nothing could be further from the truth. Until our country’s final three horse slaughter plants were closed two years ago, horses were often injured even before arrival due to overcrowded conditions during transport. Some were shipped for more than 24 hours at a time without food, water or rest. The methods used to slaughter these horses rarely resulted in a quick death. The horses often endured repeated stuns or blows, and sometimes remained conscious during their slaughter.

Americans do not eat horse meat—this bill benefits only the interests of specialty markets overseas. Horse slaughter plants are not clean/green enterprises, and have proved economically draining and environmentally damaging in other states. After hard-fought battles, Texas and Illinois were finally able to close down the U.S.’s last horse slaughterhouses in 2007. We should learn from those states and not bring an economic and environmental burden to Montana.

What You Can Do
Call the Montana Senate Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation Committee immediately to urge opposition to House Bill 418.

You can leave a message for the Montana Senate Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation Committee by calling (406) 444-4800.

When you call, you will speak to a staff member who will take your name and your message. All you have to say is that you would like the Senate Agriculture Committee to oppose House Bill 418, legislation that will allow horse slaughter plants to operate in Montana. Be sure to thank the person you speak with for taking the time to register your opinion.

Please also encourage your spouse and all your friends and family living in Montana to make this important phone call and help defeat HB 418.

Use the link below to let us know you called—we really appreciate it! Thank you for your help, Montana.

*Please note, only Montana residents should call Montana state legislators.
