Belgian Draft horse and 2 day old foal saved from almost being shipped to slaughter update - Ep.59

On April 15th, I came across a post on Facebook from Sexton Horse and Mule in Sneedsville, TN where we rescued Freya from. There was a mare that just dropped a foal not 24 hours before I saw the post and they are both scheduled to be shipped to slaughter on the next truck. We secured a home for these two precious lives and along with your support we saved them from being shipped to slaughter!
When we started this channel, Mark a retired Army veteran, reached out to me wanting to adopt one of our horses. Our horses that we have are special needs, most with medical conditions and are not available for adoption. I promised Mark I would help him find a pasture pal for his horse Calvin. Mark purchased 26 acres in southern Illinois and wants to help our cause by saving more of these horses from going to slaughter. Mark agreed to adopt both Mom and baby and provide the perfect life for these two with his horse, Calvin who will finally have a pasture pal.
Mark and Calvin were excited to welcome the mare and foul to their farm. This is an update on how they are doing after being saved. Our foundation arranged for the mare and foal to be picked up the next day on April 16th from the kill pen and they were transported 430 miles to Mark's farm. The following week we had a vet (Dr. Beasley) go to Mark's farm to give them both a complete check up. Sky and Daisy are doing well and we could not have saved these two without your support! We can't thank you enough!

BECAUSE OF YOU I RESCUED A QUARTER HORSE LOOKING MARE FROM BOWIE LIVESTOCK. SHE IS 20 AND NEEDED A PLACE TO RETIRE.

[@cdnqgramma3373]

I live not far from the horse slaughter plant, here in Alberta. It is not a make believe place. There is also a gigantic farm, attached and owned by the same people , where they fatten the horses... thousands and thousands of the most beautiful quiet gentle horses youd ever imagine... You cant imagine it, until you see it for your own eyes. I had to deliver a super b of oats.. and told my boss id never ever go back there.... I have never gotten over it... seeing them all... knowing the fate that awaited them... no horse deserves that. Keep saving the horses... these horrid places are very real. Thank you for saving these two. Beautiful xx

The Amish work them hard and send them to slaughter buying younger stock. The horses’ hooves are often in crippling condition from lack of care. The Amish in Pennsylvania are well known for use and discarding farm animals--how do I know this? Numerous video and the Amish are quite frank about their use, including neglect, and discarding of animals, given to them by their deity to serve their purposes. The Amish markets sell everything from metal sheds to tropical oranges, very little is made by Amish hands.

You need to watch Horse Plus Humane Society..they are in Tennessee and go to auctions every month to rescue horses bound mainly for the slaughter pipeline..the recognise the kill buyers who try and push up the prices so they can't rescue as many. You'd be shocked and heartbroken by the state of some of them..injuries..starved..blind..but they will still get them even if the only thing they can do is to give them that last act of kindness which should have been done ages ago by the owner..but they didn't want to spend any more money on them so chose to send them to auction who then get bounced crom one to another before theyre purchased..I force myself to watch it..those beautiful animals need my respect an apology as a human..

The wild horse/donkey roundups are absolutely despicable! All motivated by greed. The BLM is totally in the back pocket of the livestock ranchers!

It certainly appears a lush and fruitful environment Julie. Oh’ how lovely it has all turned out to be Julie… with special thanks to all that participated in this endeavour. Hey’ Julie, please try to ignore the negative (potentially very hurtful) comments. There’s always those whose aim it is appears - is to ‘put people down’ and spoil a beautiful thing. It may be very difficult Julie, but please access a process of ignoring those comments - and forgiving them also. Along with many other followers of your wonderful set-up, I am genuinely ‘very proud’ of you and Corey (name spelling?), and the smashing horsey world you’ve both worked hard for. I so look forward to each new video presentation Julie - as I love to watch these gentle giants. I watch them repeatedly over and over again haha!

[@pjk1714]

For those that doubt, Quebec alone documented over 110k horses slaughters last year. Alberta isnt required to report. Horses flow up from the USA and down through the states being dumped at auction and traded for fresher stock to Mexico. The bill has not been enacted to stop live export and Canadians are trying to push better standards to reject most that clear. No idea why the industry is allowed risking a billion $$ industry for breeding, training and racing. The really sad thing is that over a million pounds of horse meat in 2022 got sold to one state there. Look it up...

[@Kavikwolf]

It amazes me how many people don't think pregnant or just born horses don't go to slaughter. There are many! I follow HPHS and they rescue as many horses as they can at the auction each month, one of the horses they rescued just had a colt, and another one they rescued was also pregnant. In 2022 19,989 horses were sent to slaughter 16,362 of them went to Mexico alone. The numbers are slowing down from years ago but still way too high. Thank you, Fletcher Farms, for your efforts in rescuing :) Well wishes to Wilson

On viewing this video again, I heard about the criticism some people had about your "call out" for help to save the mare and foal at auction. I'd like to also answer those critics with you! Most people in this country are not aware that meat markets in Europe, Asia, some Slavic countries, Mexico and South America, to name a few, slaughter horses for human consumption! These markets, similar to those for cattle, prefer to get relatively healthy, fat animals for their meat and by-products. I live in WV and VA, and have seen trucks full of horses on interstate highways transporting them to slaughter. To see these docile animals going quietly to their fate touches my heart always! I remember one time taking note of a pinto colored pony tied right at the back door, maybe 2 ft. from the open doorway,; if he'd stepped wrong he'd have fallen out on the highway from the vehicle going 65 mph. He was an older guy, kind of sway back, but a beautifully marked brown and white. At the time I thought, "There goes a much loved child's pony, not needed anymore." A heart breaking sight, to say the least!

I was a bit nervous with those two dogs getting so close to the baby. That was too close for comfort for me. Dogs naturally like to chase horses... Wonderful to see Mark petting the baby. She knows about nothing bad in the world and it is wonderful to see Mark building her trust. I think it is her? LOVE all the pictures Mark sent.

You are probably getting advice from everywhere about Wilson. I have a chihuahua who suddenly developed itchy skin, red from scratching which caused a staph infection and she began vomiting. The first vet said she had an overactive immune system and started her on an immunosuppressant. This went on for a couple of years. I had her on Tru Dog dog food. She just got worse. I went to another vet who said she had developed an allergy to beef and chicken. We switched her to salmon dog food but she only liked fresh salmon so switched her to duck dog food. Problem solved. She is on no meds now and only vomits around the time she gets her flea, tick, and heartworm meds once a month. And then only a little bit. She is almost 10 years old, so I was surprised she developed the allergy later in life.

Slaughter houses are way too real. And, there are far too many people that send horses there once they have used them up or just don't like them for some reason. Sometimes just a mean person, sometimes for vengeance against someone. Crazy reasons. Thank you for saving the ones you can.

Scare Tactics Huh. I think some people would rather think that than do something, anything, to make a difference. Thank You Fletcher Farms. You can only make a difference for so many, BUT boy, the difference you make for the ones you do help.
