      That’s exactly why we have to do Something to Stop Them, but What? There has been a petition to try and stop the Slaughter pipeline going out of the US. If we could Create a Federal Law that would prevent these horses from being shipped out of America it would be a start! I’d love to hear from ANYONE who has ideas of how to start the process! Maybe to start with our local officials and move up to congress! Unfortunately I live in Illinois and Our Government doesn’t care about the people of Illinois let alone Horse🙏😢

      The laws in America are awful 😢 I live in Germany and people go to jail here and are not allowed to keep any kind of animal when they are caught on animal abuse. We don't have kill pens here and don't have auctions either. It used to be bad with the Haflinger foals being sent to slaughter but even that has changed. All horses here have to be registered, chipped and own a passport, it is very hard to get away with animal abuse here. It is heartbreaking for me to watch all the different rescue channels and how abused most of the animals are 😢

      The foals are too young and weak to work. The Amish do not want to feed and house any animal that can’t bring a guaranteed return on the investment. Like I have said elsewhere, the Amish see draft horses as farm equipment that are not worth keeping if they can’t give a full day’s work.

They have even taken the ones that the transport drivers were fixing to load (Last one before they were banned was an old white draft horse gelding if I remember correctly) Now they do direct buy-outs from the owners of horses who were going to that auction (known kill pen and kill buyers) They come straight to HorsePlus facilities, $500 per horse no matter the condition of the equine. Includes mules/mini's/donkeys also. They save as many as they can to rehome, but far too many come to them in horrendous condition (broken legs, hips, etc) They may give them the "last act of kindness" but they were saved from the horrendous trip to Mexico on broken limbs.

    This is very unusual for the Amish to do. Unless there was a herd dispersal due to extenuating circumstances, Amish will not get rid of young horses. It seems there is more to the story than is being told.

      Amish dump their old, crippled, emaciated "useless" horses ALL the time at what I call "throw away" auctions. Search out other rescue groups and you would be horrified with the conditions of their horses when they bring them to a known kill pen auction.

    • @elisabetta611
      @elisabetta611 Месяц назад +1

      By buying from kill pens they sadly are indeed, which makes this all the more tragic. Kill Buyers grab these horses for a few hundred dollars and then sell them at double/triple the price, knowing how desperately rescuers want to save them and they market them with words like "Last Chance" to manipulate people. It's why HP doesn't rescue from Kill Pens bc it fills these evil people's pockets to continue on. But I am not blaming anyone saving horses from kill pens. If I had property and money, I would be rescuing them too.
