49 Saved from Slaughter - Horse Shelter Heroes S4E38

[@topazzsky]

Its just wrong that an officer of the law, who is suppose to be neutral and uphold the law, breaks it themselves because they are trying to protect monsters! That officer should be relieved of his duties immediately!!!

[@cherjohnson5807]

I agree 100%

[@susans9617]

Those 'officers' are privately hired by the sale barn, and work for them. They are not 'public' law enforcement officers.

[@dragonstooth4223]

just think ... someone who would laugh seeing all that cruelty is a police officer. Imagine how they would treat someone in need

[@Darren-d8n]

Yes I very well agree, they are monsters. But it just goes to show that our law officers are too, by protecting the main monsters who hurt defenseless animals. We have the same problem here in Australia, where they want cull out our mountain Brumbies, who carried out fellow soldiers the Gallipoli war, how sick these parasites of government bodies have become.

[@millywinterdal7301]

it just about money and you can buy people who do what you ask them to do nothing more nothing less but not for the animals unfortunately and animals are the true spirit not humans

[@dlflin3492]

I'm also surprised your local news team isn't interested in covering your protest, but glad your congressman/woman is interested.

[@joanbryant4601]

News sometimes don’t want to “buck the big wigs behind this. The big lick group are powerful and they don’t want any bad press from all the used and abused big lick horses found at auction “

[@miss0petersburg]

Guys, you don’t understand how much power these organizations hold. Any meat slaughtering places. They all spend billions on lobbying the politicians in their favor. It’s all the same. This is why people aren’t allowed to go protest in most meat packing places. Europeans are much more better at it. All the protest are there and consumer protections and animal welfare is night and day to what happens here. This is why legally Americans can’t sell meat or dairy products to Europe. Nobody wants the garbage Americans consumers are force fed with. We talk about other countries, but we’re literally worse than any democracy. I’m so glad for this channel. Only education and exposure will change things.

I’m So glad I ran across this episode again! It’s one of my very favorites when Keith adopts a horse for Angela to ride! Keith seems like such a sweet husband and Angela was so gracious. Love them and hope Major is still with them and happy!

[@gingerbrewer7093]

I so enjoy Dr Young, she tells us so much about these animals and enjoys her work as well. Glad to see her there helping out.

[@mamabear1260]

I cant help but cry that this abuse goes on. That it is legal and people are not made accountable. Lord God, these horses are creatures you made. Let Tawny's words and action reverberate throughout the nation. That people and legislators would come together to end horse abuse. Amen.

[@careylarsen2227]

The auction not letting you in was a blessing in disguise, if you look at how successful your buy out program has been in such a short time! This is a miracle that is long overdue to help these poor underappreciated equines

[@cynthiacarter514]

How is it a “blessing in disguise” they are not allowed in the auction?

[@magicpensel9548]

@@cynthiacarter514 Because it means they get the horses before they have to suffer at the auction. The horses they get don't get exposed to that stress. Also the auction house looses money, because they get no comission. And last but not least it looks like they are getting more horses this way compared to when they did the auction

[@topazzsky]

Usually you rescue around 20, but it actually seems that your getting more horses even though it's more work. More lives being saved is the goal as long as the atrocity of horse slaughter exists.

[@kathybradbury]

It seems they may be paying substantially more for each horse outside of the auction, which is why kill buyers are bringing them to horse plus.

[@sisswift8423]

It may be the feedlots are cleaning out the horses they cannot ship. Got to be careful and not fall prey to the"'good ol' boys".

[@tanyabrown9839]

Financially though it's not good for them as it's leading to less fundraising so long term it may be a big issue... (and probably causing them to pay more too).

[@marieholt9547]

​@@kathybradburythey may be buying lower now that hp is no longer there so now the dealers can make the money off of them from hp instead of the auction.

[@kathybradbury]

@@marieholt9547 at the auction yes, but HP is paying more-often substantially more, because they’re offering $500 per horse.

[@iceangel1701d]

Lawyers! Hellooooo! Please help these guys, they are OBVIOUSLY being harassed by "officials" that are definitely abusing their offices!

[@darleneburatty5849]

My thoughts exactly. Wish I knew someone who could help legally.

[@MeadowsMiniFarm]

As a native Tennesseean my self My best advice for you commenters is to write our state about these auctions, and sign their petition. Do research on your state and counties about y’all’s auctions and or shelters and rescues ( you’ll be surprised )

[@topazzsky]

I noticed the buy out signs were too small. When driving and having to pay attention to the road and pedestrians it would really help if those particular signs were large and in charge.

[@juliamclane8319]

I agree with you but signs aren’t in charge.

[@shirleyrice7093]

Turn your signs toward oncoming traffic so drivers have time to read them. You can turn with the car as it passes.

[@terri58]

That's what i loved about Dr. Nancy, she didn't want to let them go so fast. She at least tried to help some of them.

[@sarahross9869]

How can people be so cruel to horses? They are s majestic and vulnerable.

[@dlflin3492]

The more 'they' kick and scream and try to find ways to stop you from rescuing horses through loose interpretations of laws, the more those antiquated laws will come into the bright light of our scrutiny and we can litigate for change. Also, I think you should have an attorney with you to immediately inform you of your rights while interacting with law enforcement.

[@joanbryant4601]

Absolutely if you can find a decent lawyer that is willing to oppose the good old boy network back there. I’m from Tennessee but left 43 years ago. Being a career mindset woman in the 60’s and 70’s wasn’t going overseas well. Came to Colorado made a great life and retired at age 50! With a fabulous income stream. I’m almost 72! It’s always interesting to go visit family and friends. Love them very good people. But always glad to come “home”! Hang in Tawny and everyone involved with this great group

[@dianekruger5977]

KIf it was me, I think I would try talking to their Senators and Representatives for their area, or better yet, the whole state. Never hurts to try going that route. Put together all the information, present reasons why they need to be allowed back at the auction, and everything else they've been trying since been banned from auction grounds. I wish I was better at talking to large groups, especially important people such as senators and representatives, but I get nervous when talking to more than a few people, other than friends, family, and whe n I was still working, customers.

[@clsmithent]

What a beautiful community of people who love horses. ❤️ Thank you Tawny & Jason for taking the lead. You're much appreciated 🎉

[@annepettit3855]

It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. Start that legal fund-it’s worth it on so many levels!

[@carolinechew2432]

Thankyou. Clear vision. 😊

[@didntlistendad]

Please lead the way with your legal fund donation & hopefully you’ll start a rush

[@ann5346]

Go as high as you can go. Have you approached celebrities for support in all you do? I pray that one day soon the Texas laws will be changed to treat horses humanely. As an aside, I would love to see an update on the horses you rescued and were able to help ❤ xx

[@HappyShackHomestead]

@@ann5346 That is a great idea. Maybe they could contact Taylor Sheridan. He’s the guy producing the TV show Yellowstone. About 2 years ago he bought the legendary four 6’s (6666) ranch. I believe the filming of Yellowstone is going to be filmed there now. He is a major equestrian in real life. He’d be my first choice. I’d attempt to get his attention… maybe he could help rope in more celebrity type folks. I doubt many of them even know of this rescue center…. Let alone the horrible abuse horses go through. But hey… it’s worth a try. A legal fund is a terrific idea.

[@carlahaenni-bm4zj]

Lucky Major landed himself the best home!

[@moccasinlanding]

OMG, I cannot imagine a 7 yr old Fresian stallion being sold for $500, a throwaway horse.

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

Would only be a low percentage Friesian. Completely unregisterable. As they are very strict. But none the less a lovely boy worth more than 500

[@summerhorse]

He doesn't look pure, there is something else in there but wthout papers that's what he is worth in today's market and he's much better off a gelding anyway.

[@sammygirl6910]

He wasn't a Fresian, I'm sure. Maybe part, but still a very nice animal.

[@sallywaites8517]

I knew about compassion fatigue from past episodes. I knew horse rescue was tough but recently things have reached a whole new level. Being banned from the auction and everything that has happened since is just soo unbelievably stressful. I'm stressed and I'm just watching this unfold on a screen. I hope and pray that this awful situation can be over come before you all end up burnt out from all the stress. You're all so strong to keep fighting the way you are. ❤

What a wonderful, surprise for Angela and what a beautiful horse. WHITE HORSE !!!!!!!!! thank you Jennifer for the lunch, the pizza, the goodies, the drinks and the cheesecake you rock. Don’t buy a saddle horse at an auction because the saddle can cover up a lot of injuries underneath that saddle don’t buy a saddle horse unless you see it before saddled

Dr. Chavez's technique felt really cold to me. I didn't see her administer, pain meds, antibiotics? Love on the Horses a Little.....didn't see that either! She may be the last person this Horse ever Sees before she Leaves this World🏇💔🥲 Dr. Lydia still tries to administer whatever she can, even flushing out old wounds, and X-rays even if it doesn't look good for the Horse. Feels like she goes that Xtra mile and Sometimes that can save a Horse! (I could be a little partial). I just Feel the Love and Pain in her eyes when she can't save them.its really Heartfelt, and I'm sure the Horses Feel it too! Dr. Lydia you mean So Much to the Horses and to me! 🙏🙏🏇😇♥️♥️

I think it’s so funny how excited/fascinated Dr. Lydia is about the maggots on that poor mare’s poll wounds. Edit: I’m glad that they were able to treat her. I hope she has a long life ahead of her. Pain and maggot free of course.

[@lmp8932]

Re the mare with the maggoty poll, Dr Lydia finds the little critters fascinating! I think they are both cringe making and also very useful. I have picked and washed them out of 'people' wounds, you can't gag or shrink away as you don't want the patient to realise what they have in their wounds. They only eat dead matter so it doesn't hurt so much. The mare was incredibly calm as if she knew she was being helped, I hope she heals well and goes on to having a lovely life with someone who will treat her properly. You did so well rescuing so many.
