What a week! It just keeps getting better and better as far as finding things to point and laugh at. I’ve actually had some concerns about getting it all covered in one blog entry, things have been so busy. This is a really long entry this week, so grab some supplies and settle in because it’s time to get on with the festivities. Once again, it’s Point and Laugh Friday…..brought to you by the letter `V’ for victory!
As usual we’re going to kick things off by checking in with the Matron of Morons, Slaughterhouse Sue. It was another fairly quiet week for Suey. One can only assume she is busy writing of her special brand of poetry that reads like Rainman wrote it or she’s still in a weakened state due to lack of carcinogen tainted meat in her diet. Nevertheless, she did manage to lay down some links early in the week to inspire the three remaining UH followers and repulse the rest of us. The first was a `fun facebook page’ from France all about eating horse meat. I almost think Ole Suey goes out of her way to be gross, but then I realize it probably comes naturally for her. At least she didn’t talk about her ass again this week. I’m still in therapy over that assault on my mind’s eye. The next article she linked is not just funny, its effin hilarious. I’m not even being sarcastic at this point. Slaughterhouse Sue linked an article about Rockville on the 25th. It was full of the usual misinformation, lies and quotes from Suey. The hilarity comes in when somebody contacted the writer and brought them up to speed about what is really going down in Rockville, so they added an editorial comment in bold at the top on the 26th apologizing for the omissions and stating that Suey was `unavailable for comments’ when they tried to clear things up. Rockville Mayor, David Moore also stated that nobody has heard from Slaughterhouse Sue since May. Not only funny, but knee slapping funny as the link remains on the UH page with Suey’s endorsement of `Good article!’. You can check it out yourself :
(http://www.latitudenews.com/story/words-appetite-horse-meat-creates-jobs-american-heartland/). I do have to commend Latitude News for doing the right thing and adding this comment to the top of the article. Naturally, this sent Slaughterhouse Sue scurrying back into hiding and she has been `unavailable for comment’ for the remainder of the week.
As we are well aware, when Suey goes to ground, it is up to her henchmen to step up to the plate to perpetuate the lies and propaganda that are so necessary to her mission to profit from the torture of horses. Because Holy Theresa was busy getting ready for her fund-raising extravaganza for her slaughter supporting rescue this weekend, we were left with D-bag Duquette once again. Actually, I shouldn’t complain. I get a huge kick out of D-bag when he gets all authoritarian on our asses and busts out his word of the day toilet paper for quotes. His big polysyllabic word this week was `variable’. Rumor has it he was pretty damn proud of using it in a sentence and he high fived himself in the forehead in celebration. We went into detail about his big media push yesterday, but this quote from him is worth repeating : ““70 percent of the world’s countries have too many variables to accurately predict when the industry will be able to start again.”“. Despite me begging, nobody has been able to tell me WTF it even means yet. Perhaps the writer’s gibberish to English translator did not know what to make of D-bag’s profanity laced ramblings and this is what it came up with……kinda like those funny auto-corrects we keep seeing posted around. At any rate, the article was full of misinformation and whining and, of course, Suey was unavailable for comment again, basically leaving poor D-bag holding the poo bag. Mindy`Puppymill’ Patterson was dusted off and forced to take over linking duties on the UH page as well…Business as usual.
Let’s move on to Mendy Tobiano. I have to admit I’ve been withholding information from the readers here. Mendy has been most unhappy with this blog and has taken to writing WordPress to whine about it. The bestest part of it all is they love me because they host my blog and they also send me her letters when I ask for them. Perjury is a bad thing….just sayin. Mendy Tobiano got her knickers in a twist because we made fun of her grooming and tack fitting practices last week. She had a hissy fit over on Horse Farts about how trimming a bridle path is a `choice’ and she chooses not to. Well, let’s not forget that she also claims to win all these classes and titles with her super awesome training skills. I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but any show I have ever participated in, grooming and presentation was a huge part of winning; even the 4H shows. Also, trimming a bridle path for your horse is a kindness. It doesn’t have to be more than an inch or two, but it will let the bridle lay where it’s supposed to and not tangle their mane up and cause discomfort. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Mendy doesn’t care about stuff like that when she considers this picture an example of a well-groomed horse with properly fitted tack. It is the same horse that claims she wins all these classes on, including Hunter Under Saddle. Maybe there is a Backwoods Big Game Hunter Under Saddle class I’m not aware of though……
Ok, we aren’t quite done with Mendy Tobiano yet, but the rest of her news is all tied up with some other Horse Farters. Yes, NT is still blogging and still nobody is paying attention other than maybe NT’s family members and people she coerces into commenting, so we won’t worry too much about it. Other than paranoid and nonsensical ramblings and aping this blog, there isn’t a lot of content there. The two times I took a look this week, I thoroughly enjoyed her new platform that shows how few views she actually does get. She’d probably crap her Depends if she saw the stats over here. Where the hilarity and hijinks comes in is with her favorite Facebook bat cave and the drama they had this week. It seems that my selection of Sunday’s PSA did NOT go down well with the HFA club. Our poster gal Jes, made several comments on how little she cared and how she wasn’t going to read it, but y’all know she did. Mendy Tobiano would love to have people believe this blog is devoted to her, so it bothered her that she wasn’t featured before her buddy. As a result, they booted out the majority of horse farters and went undercover. Presumably this is to give them some peace and quiet while Jes looks for her missing chin and Mendy Tobiano tries to locate her dignity. We probably shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for either of those things to ever happen. It’s sure a good thing they showed us all how little they cared! I’m going to put this one in the victory column that due to this blog, they have gone underground where nobody seeking actual truth and information will ever have to stumble upon their idiocy. At least they can now sit around and congratulate each other about what great little horse abusers they are and Mendy Tobiano can flirt with herself in relative privacy.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you this would be a long one, because we still have stuff to discuss. Remember Angela Marshall? The woman who sent her crippled horse on a 30 hour trip to torture? Yeah, she is now going to fund the studies to find out the withdrawal time for Bute apparently. She also would like to provide horse meat to her family. ” I would be happy to have horse meat available to my family. Why export a perfectly good source of meat?? I think the UK knows something we dont, like how awesome horse meat really is.” If she truly feels this way, why the fuckity fuck didn’t she just eat her own horse rather than sending him on a death ride to Canada????? I’m sure there were are farmers, butchers and hunters in her area that would have been more than happy to come shoot her horse and dress him out at home; which would have been far less cruel and traumatizing to the horse. Maybe she didn’t want to feed her kids Bute? Say it ain’t so! I guess the fact that the UK people are actually not big consumers of horses at all hasn’t occurred to her. Most of them are as disgusted about it as 80% of our population is. Maybe when you’re a welfare wife with a clown-car vagina, all countries `over there’ are pretty much the same and she confuses the UK with the EU…And before NT pops up to say how mean I am for talking about the poor little chillrun, remember that it was NT that brought up the fact that she has all these snotty kids, twins on the way and nobody in her household has a job in order to make us feel bad for her. If you throw the card on the table, you don’t get to choose how it gets played.
Guess what? We still aren’t finished! You’d think with them slithering under their rock we wouldn’t have much to talk about, but we seem to have even more. Of course, being the attention whores they all are, we shouldn’t be surprised that they can’t stay buried forever. Not all of them have alter egos to do the public talking for them like Mendy Tobiano, although she certainly isn’t the only one that does that these days. It seems that Daffy found refuge with Tony Wildhorse Ullrich and his pages. For those of you that don’t know, The Tonester loves nothing more than to pick a fight on Facebook and crow about it. He’s the editor of The Wild Ones magazine, but it seems that even after collecting subscription fees, there is an issue getting the magazine out in a timely fashion. That is all playing out very publically on the magazine’s Facebook page. Hurry on over before he deletes the evidence! It also seems that he had his page devoted to mocking and making fun of a few wild horse advocates (I’m assuming that’s what they are) taken down as well. I forgot to mention that this is also a PSA favorite pastime….reporting each other to Facebook and trying to get accounts suspended. Perhaps The Tonester will stagger back over here and dazzle us all with his ignorance in the comment section like he did last week, but don’t hold your breath on that either. They are currently closing ranks and showing us all how much they don’t care about this blog. That’s what they think the benefit to being `secret’ is, but sadly for them, there is still a mole…
Last up for this week is the link extravaganza that went on over at the UH Facebook page. They are all outraged at the strict testing going on at the TWHA Celebration show and naturally have convinced themselves that this is all a conspiracy by they HSUS and USDA to take away their personal rights. They feel that it is their right to abuse and torture any animal as long as it makes them beer money and gives them something to brag about. They are also very upset that they aren’t seeing very many foals with their mammas in the fields as they drive around the back roads looking for some roadkill to make a nice pot of stew with. For one thing, many breeders have already weaned their babies this time of year considering it’s almost September. Another thing, is I’m not sure why less foals is so horrible considering they are all concerned with all these unwanted horses that need to be slaughtered and eaten immediately. We have also learned this week that vegetarians and vegans are evil and are to be feared and burned at the stake. I guess you don’t get to have choices unless they fall into line with the horse eating agenda. I wonder if they realize that many anti-slaughter advocates are not even a little bit vegetarian. The concept of anti-cruelty is as foreign to them as having all your own teeth and having more than two forks in your family tree. They just assume that it means it’s going to take away their rights and we’ll all be forced into vegetarianism soon. In other news, the sky is, in fact, falling and if we could just slaughter some horses global warming would end.
As much ground as we have covered this week, it feels like we have just scraped the surface. I keep getting asked by the few PSAs that venture over here why I make fun of everybody. Well, what would you have me do? Take these ridiculous creatures seriously? The fact is that the issue that finds us all at odds is a very serious one. People that have advocated for an end to horse slaughter have been bullied and maligned forever by the PSA (pro-slaughter advocate) side. We’ve been wrongfully labelled as animal rights activists or zealots and otherwise dismissed as `emotional’. Slaughter IS an emotional subject for many of us. That’s what makes us human. However, I have tried to stick to facts and science to back up my stance as have most of the people I have seen out there working towards ending the threat of horse slaughter. At the end of the day, call me what you want because it won’t change a thing. I will continue to write about things that come up and I will continue to poke the anthill of PSAs as long as it amuses me. Hate me or this blog all you want, but it’s WORKING and it’s doing that with a lot of help from the readers here. The more PSA asstards that shut up and run for cover, the more we can get done. Without their misinformation and paranoid ramblings out in the open, the people that are legitimately trying to make an informed decision will have a clear path to actual facts. Have a great long weekend everybody and don’t forget to hug your horses!
OMG, “clown car vagina” I woke my husband up laughing about that one!!!
That was a comment made by one of our readers earlier and was too appropriate not to use again.
lol too funny.
seriously, at this point, it would have to be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway…
OMG LMAO! I just snorted my coffee!
Clown car vagina!! I can’t wait to get a chance to use that one!
I ran Duquette’s statement through my dialetizer, and it was no clearer to me either – “70 pehcent of the, uh, the world’s countries habe too many bariaggles t’ accurate predict when de industry will be aggle t’ start agin.”
I thought the posting of the Rockville article was hilarious – not only was the info partially retracted by the author/editor, but it was also post-bombed by antis in the most embarrassing manner, and they still left it up!
But funniest of all was the post on UH that claimed that that the animal liberation movement “invented” BSE as part of an overall effort to make us defenceless against extraterrestrials! You can’t make this shit up – these posts practically write themselves!
It’s the best comedy ever! I missed the BSE thing, but that’s just hilarious!
I got me a screen cap of that – it will get new life in a blog!
I can’t wait! Glad you screen capped it because it’s kinda hard to believe otherwise. I’m constantly amazed at what they come up with…
yeah that guy is a special kind of crazy.
if it is the same person, he also equates the term puppy mill as offensive as a racial slur… yeah. drive through downtown atlanta at 2 am and shout puppymill out of your window, then try that with your racial epitaph of choice and see which one is more offensive….
also check out the comments at the end of this hub article…did you know that owning a tiger is a civil right? he harassed the poor writer of the piece to the point she had to block him and he still kept one trying to email her.
http://melissaasmith.hubpages.com/hub/simplelogic#comment-10315720
this guy may have a kangaroo loose in the top paddock….
He’s got more than a kangaroo loose….he’s just straight up section 8!
hes the scary kind of crazy. fortunately he seems to be the type that the majority of rational people would just give him the blinky stare and realize that hes a twist shy of a slinky and move along.
oh he also believes that aspca confiscates animals from good owners to kill them….
if ET s lived here and fed their cows other cows….yes! that makes sense! also, should start calling these people ETs since they act non-human.
haha like the ‘in memory of’ at the end. very good post. still think asswipe marshall is troll. why does it breed?
rip. poor guy. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=478875292131037&set=a.478875245464375.116484.100000257102825&type=1&theater
Weeping… a bit hysterically, but you just keep bangin’ it SR. SO good!… and boyz did I need this laugh. We’ve reached the surreal /irresistible stage… and it just keeps coming. You and Heather are keeping me sane. 🙂
OMG……I just spit coffee everywhere….crying laughing…..thanks for getting this friday started 🙂
My heart goes out to the poor horses that these asshats own. Thank you, SC, for another great column. Your closing paragraph is right on the money. Yes, this is an emotional issue for us and I’m not ashamed to admit that and we will win this.
Yes I hate to think about their poor horses, how they are treated and then their horrifying ending. ET’s should not be allowed to have any animals especially one as noble as the horse.
🙂 Now that I understand why you write the way you write, I think it’s great. And the less of a “zealot” I am convinced you are. Thanks for my morning giggle!
Now yer gettin’ it, Rachel! Good for you! Sometimes, you have to laugh so you can stop crying.
It does make you wonder sometimes why we work so hard when we have THEM. We couldn’t top DD and Slaughterhouse Sue no matter how hard we tried. You really CAN’T make this stuff up.
At this point in my own growth in Advocacy for horse welfare, I have actually became very good at recongnizing PSA terrorists. And I bet most of us could name the identifiers of this creed of creepy crawlers. However, I will refrain from revealing the, oh so obvious, and just say this, they are the most useless of the entire horse industry, for reals, dude!!! Honestly, think about it what have they really accomplished? Bringing more attention to this cruel and inhumane industry is all I can figure, the more they open their mouths, the more people are disgusted by what they call, “A necessary industry,and good for horses”, such an idiotic thing to say. They keep losing ground, why? Because every time you throw dirt on anything, you lose ground. And they have thrown so much dirt eachother, on animal welfare advocates, on the horse industry, on facebook, on just about everything they touch, that now they have accomplished nothing more, then digging themself into a gaping hole. I have discovered, that they are just about as useless as an opponent, as tits on a boar hog. Annoying ? Yes! A worthy adversary? Oh, Please!!! Great stuff, Shedrow!!!
please let your loony friend know that we in the U.K. will never accept horse meat here .brilliant writing .bring on the clowns .
God bless you, SR! What would we do without you? I think this is your best post yet!
I’m still trying to figure out the credentials of Douche, but seriously what has this guy achieved in the live equine world, except in his own mind…like National Championships, etc. Suey readily admits “she” doesn’t own horses although there is some family connection re: drafts and certainly meat production…I wonder what government assists and breaks her “family” gets.
I hear D-bag buys finished or at least well started horses off real trainers. Strange how you see the PSAs tell people they don’t own horses so they don’t get to have an opinion, but Suey doesn’t own them, ride them or like them and she wants to be the authority on what needs to be done for their welfare. Yes, she’s probably one of those welfare farmers.
I don’t know what to say Shedrow. Just thank you for telling it like it is. And thank you especially for pointing out that yes, horse slaughter IS an emotional issue. We are humans after all. Some of us ARE capable of having feelings. It’s what sets us apart from the beasts…right? (and supposedly the capacity for reason…which I really doubt is possible with a lot of my fellow man) Anyhow, keep it up dear Shedrow. Roll out that red carpet for those idiots and let’s laugh those fools all the way to the hole they belong in.
Know exactly who is referenced in the above with “kangaroo loose in the attic” comment. I have long thought the very same thing about him. There is something very sinister and psychotic about his rantings. Sure glad he is on THEIR side and not ours!
I picture him as living in his mother’s basement and being a 40+ yr old virgin….
if i were captain of the kickball team, i sure as hell wouldnt pick him….
The World Health Organization’s ICD-10 lists paranoid personality disorder as (F60.0) Paranoid personality disorder.[5]
It is characterized by at least three of the following:
1)excessive sensitivity to setbacks and rebuffs;
2)tendency to bear grudges persistently, i.e. refusal to forgive insults and injuries or slights;
3)suspiciousness and a pervasive tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous;
4)a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights out of keeping with the actual situation;
5)recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding sexual fidelity of spouse or sexual partner;
6)tendency to experience excessive self-importance, manifest in a persistent self-referential attitude;
7)preoccupation with unsubstantiated “conspiratorial” explanations of events both immediate to the patient and in the world at large.
that describes most of them!!!!
i guess my mom was right – we all have something we excel at – his talent is being paranoid…
Always good for a belly laugh..thanks shedrow..once again you have made my Friday start with a good dose of entertainment…If they weren’t so pathetic and delusional..you could almost feel sorry for them..emphasis on “almost”..
“We have also learned this week that vegetarians and vegans are evil and are to be feared and burned at the stake.”
I’m a vegan and animal rights activist who attended Ms. Manzella’s presentation, “The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement” here in Montana a few months ago. It was there that I learned that the animal rights (AR) movement is “a beast that needs to be slain” and that kids growing up vegan will “probably be brain damaged”–that latter statement coming from Ms. Wallis, who was also in attendance. A full accounting of the seminar is here http://www.othernationsjustice.org/?p=4563 for anyone interested.
AR people are just folks. After the PSAs revile AR activists as extremists who march lockstep with PETA & HSUS, they then attempt to malign anti-slaughter horse people by painting them with the same broad brush. It’s such a transparent tactic as to be laughable and is wrong on both counts. Though AR folks and anti-slaughter horse folks are probably not too often one and the same, there’s no reason we should be divided on this issue or that horse folks should consider themselves maligned by being lumped in with AR activists. Indeed, any of us can feel proud to be counted amongst these:
“I think of the animal activists I know. We rescue everything from moths drowning in birdbaths to turtles and mice; from cats, rabbits, and dogs to goats and llamas. One runs a sanctuary for formerly farmed animals. A couple sell their own plasma to support horses purchased at auction and saved from kill buyers. Others are willing to stand up in hostile territory and advocate for wolves, for circus animals. … As a rule, we aren’t hung up on “animal welfare vs. animal rights”; we’re hung up on compassion and justice.”
A horse rescuer / anti-slaughter activist friend alerted me to this blog, from which I’ve gotten a great many LOL moments–thank you!
“As a rule, we aren’t hung up on “animal welfare vs. animal rights”; we’re hung up on compassion and justice.” Perfectly stated!
Although it really irritates me to hear Manzella and her ilk refer to themselves as `animal welfare’. There is nothing animal welfare about what they are trying to accomplish.
Oh by the way Jes is very active on Tony’s page but has not said a word about the expose you did on her which I find very amusing. AND FOR THE RECORD YOU AZZHATS ON THAT PAGE, I AM NOT LAURA!!!!! SO QUIT POSTING REMARKS THAT I AM!!!
She had plenty to say about it at HFA. Mostly how little she cared, but the fact she had to keep saying that and bust out the name calling pretty much gave me a lot of satisfaction…She cares! LOL.
This vegetarian anti-slaughter advocate LOVES your blog!
