[havocmom]

2. would be nice to have a clue what we might be dealing with if we click the link

otherwise :shrug: oh well, some people not interested in blind alleys.

3. I agree. I never click on blind links.

Is it too much to ask the OP to give us some hint as to what we're expected to click on?

4. HI ! Their are a lot of people that do that..

I can't stand it, I usually come back in a while and someone has given more detail.

6. Opps, I'm sorry, was in a hurry to post it. It's about the mistreatment of animals, it's

called the AIG of animal rescue. Sorry again.:blush:

5. The content about mistreatment of horses SHOULD be upsetting.

The blogger seems to be equally upset about it and very concerned about proper care for, training of, and treatment of horses. The question becomes, what do we do about people who "collect" animals, don't treat them well, neglect them, "train" them in ways that are harmful to the animal, and so on?

The AIG of animal rescue!

You may remember my story on the Dancing Star Sanctuary, which was euthanizing animals allegedly for economic reasons while its principals still pulled down healthy six-figure salaries. You know, I have no problem with euthanizing for economic reasons when you're actually broke and the animals can't be placed. Euthanizing animals while you sit on your ass collecting a quarter million dollars a year? NOT OKAY!

Choo Choo! Another "sanctuary" train wreck!

http://calcoastnews.com/news.php?viewStory=172108

A husband and wife team of internationally known environmentalists, paid handsomely to oversee a San Luis Obispo County sanctuary for infirm animals, has ordered the accelerating slaughter of many of their wards.

Former and present employees of the Dancing Star Foundation claim that its top officers, Michael Tobias and Jane Gray Morrison, intend to focus on endangered animals. They say the pair has commenced the systematic elimination of aged and infirm farm animals under the foundation’s care, contrary to the foundation's purpose.

Tobias and Morrison have reportedly told employees that economic issues prompted the kill policy."
