Nine days to go. Nine days until we hopefully, get some temporary relief from the threat of mass slaughter of countless equines. With the importance of this case, it would be reasonable to assume that the main players are busy getting their ducks in a row. I guess I was silly to assume that Slaughterhouse Sue may tone down her inner fishwife long enough to actually prepare for the impending court case that she is a part of. At the very least, and perhaps worse, I assumed that she would be busy touching herself in places most of us would rather not imagine while moaning `mmmm….horse meat’. At any rate, I had prepared myself for the fact she would probably not give us much to work with until after August 2nd, after which we could either entertain ourselves with the probable meltdown or shake our heads in disgust with her crowing. Well folks, it just goes to show you that I am sometimes wrong and I, thankfully, don’t understand how the mind of a slaughterphile really works. Not content to allow her favorite ass barnacle, Douchebag Duquette, have all the attention this week with the release of his super awesome press release, Suey has decided to throw a little gasoline on the fire and make a few comments on the players on the anti side of the pending lawsuit. Sadly, she hasn’t gotten around to sniping at Robert Redford yet, but we’ll make do with her gross inappropriateness anyhow.
As many of you may or may not be aware, the slaughterphiles all absolutely loathe the HSUS in particular and President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, specifically. I’m sure that at least part of their red zone hatred has to do with the fact that the only thing they have ever managed to get on the guy is some obscure quote he made more than 20 yrs ago about domestic animals. The notorious statement that Suey and her knuckle dragging butt monkeys like to repeat at any given chance is, “We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. One generation and out” which was made in 1993, prior to Pacelle taking the helm of the HSUS. Even though it was a statement made 20 yrs ago, when I can guarantee you, none of us were paying attention, Suey and company pull it out and wave it around at every opportunity like an especially green and disgusting booger a 3 yr old just mined from his nose. Now, if you put some context around that quote, you get a much more clear picture of what Pacelle was trying to say. The quote was made at an agricultural forum when they were discussing `heirloom’ breeds of livestock that are no longer used commercially. In response to whether or not we needed an endangered species act to protect these breeds, Pacelle’s full response was: ” We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding… One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding.” Whether or not you agree with what he said, putting it in context certainly gives it a different flavor, no? If you want to read what Pacelle, himself, had to say about being misquoted, you can read his own comments about it on his blog ( http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/2007/07/desperate-disto.html). I also think you’ll find this page interesting reading the next time the PSAs try to discredit the HSUS: (http://stophumanewatch.org/blog/myths/myth-quote/).
Let’s get back to Slaughterhouse Suey. It seems Suey and her ilk operate under the assumption that the HSUS claim to be your local shelter. Obviously they aren’t nor have they ever made that claim. Considering that most slaughterphiles, and Suey is no exception, have problems seeing beyond their own expansive girths, the fact is that a large part of the HSUS’s mandate is to advocate for animals through public policy, corporate reform and national and international campaigns. They do have some shelters, but primarily they are in here to provide education and training to shelters and rescues at the local level. I know this will be a very tough concept for your average slaughterphile to grasp as their solution to every problem is to hold their hand out and ask for money and bail outs. What the HSUS does is train these organizations to effectively run their own shelters, etc. All of this information is readily available on the HSUS site. Does anybody really believe that an organization as large and high profiled as the HSUS would get away with what Suey suggests for very long? Put it this way, it isn’t the HSUS that are pushing for Ag-Gag laws to hide their atrocities from the general public.
Perhaps this would be a good time to take a closer look at one of Suey and D-bag’s favorite groups, Humanewatch. They are a particularly nasty organization that is a project of the non-profit Center for Consumer Freedom. Both were created by wealthy corporate lobbyist Richard Berman. Berman is a real charmer. Among other things, under his CFF mantle, he has run campaigns against Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He is largely funded by the very corporations that would benefit from seeing and end to these organizations and in 2008, CFF paid a whopping 92% of its revenue to the for profit firm of Berman and Company which is wholly owned by Richard Berman. Hmmm. Doesn’t that all sound a bit like what they accuse the HSUS of, but worse? I guess none of you will be surprise that Humanewatch think Rep. Crazyass Steve King out of Iowa is a super awesome and wonderful guy. Basically, Berman is noted for running smear campaigns against public interest groups and, as a result, several media outlets have been forced to issue retractions and apologies for repeating misinformation he has fed them. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the organization that Slaughterhouse Sue and Douchebag Duquette hold up as ethical. Awesome! (http://stophumanewatch.org/about/about-hw/)
By now, none of you are probably all that outraged or even surprised that Suey supports Humanewatch. It’s basically par for the course given her desire to eat her way through the entire equine population before the next decade. Continuing in that same vein is Sue’s support of yet another anti-animal organization called Protect The Harvest. She even posted up one of their little cartoons about the HSUS along with this comment: “Less than 1/2 of 1% of their hundreds of millions of deceptively raised dollars actually goes to help a single dog or cat, let alone a horse. And yet they promote the most unspeakable lies about honest, legitimate, agriculture businesses. What a corrupt crock of crap the whole outfit is.” How’s the view from that glass house, Suey?
I saved the best for last as far as Suey’s rants go today. Her hypocrisy was out in full force today as after she referred to all antis as `culturally arrogant and ethnically insensitive’ in her last press release, she engaged in a spirited round of `my Indian is better than yours’ as far as the lawsuit in New Mexico goes.
“Turns out the “chief” that HSUS squirrled up is a self-proclaimed chief who according to a letter written by the bona fide tribal leader is to be respected as an elder, but in no way has the authority to speak for the entire tribe (which has a real problem with excess feral horses). Contrast that with the Yakama and other land based tribes where it is the tribal government, the entity that is responsible for managing and preserving tribal lands and resources that are taking deliberative action in the support of the reopening of horse plants as the only humane and economically viable solution to the horrific horse overpopulation problems. Huge difference. This is not about who is a better Indian. This is about protecting the environment from permanent catastrophic ecological damage.”
Once again, Suey and the horse eaters seem to be quite unable to see things beyond the end of their snotty noses. For those of you that don’t know, the native support Suey has managed to drum up in her quest to slaughter equines is the Confederated Tribes of the Yakama Nation (http://www.yakamanation-nsn.gov/). They are based in Washington state and have a population of about 1o,000 give or take. The native leader she has been floating around is `Jason Smith’ 0f the National Tribal Horse Coalition or the Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition depending on what press release you read, but the problem with that is it seems nearly impossible to find a website for this group or any information at all other than that he wrote an opinion paper at Suey’s behest. A document, I’m sure, will be used in the court case, but neither him nor his organization are named in the suit that I can find. For the record, Jason Smith is from the Warm Springs nation in central Oregon and his actual title is range and ag manager. Remember yesterday when D-bag suggested that Victoria McCullough send their tribe about half a billion a year to manage their horse population and then went on to whine they have had NO help or bailout money? Yeah, well we’ve never accused D-bag of actually knowing WTF he is talking about. It seems that Warm Springs actually has had considerable assistance from APHIS with managing their herds. According to the USDA blog, they periodically hold feral horse castration clinics, coggins testing (so they can ship them off to slaughter should they choose) and vaccination clinics. All of this is done at no cost to the tribes. (http://blogs.usda.gov/2012/10/25/wild-horses-take-aphis-veterinarian-to-new-heights/). Naturally Smith whined that holding gelding clinics is not an effective way to reduce herd populations, but he did allow that it would help with quality and manageability, whatever that means. At any rate it would appear that Smith is an employee of Warm Springs and holds no leadership position whatsoever. Whether or not he was enticed to support the United Horseturds and their pro slaughter agenda, we will never know, but he seems to have more of a vested interest in slaughter than concern over tribal lands. Mr. Smith likes to `range raise’ rodeo stock and Quarter Horses (http://www.smithranch.1colony.com/index.html). Make of that what you will.
So, what about the chief that actually did sign on as a plaintiff in the lawsuit that Suey claims is self-appointed? Well, to begin with there are two chiefs that are listed as plaintiffs, so we’re not sure which one she is referring to. The first is Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Nation and he is also knows as `Sung Wakan’ – Horse Man. He is the 19th generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe and is recognized as a chief and the spiritual leader of all three branches of the Sioux tribe. He is widely respected and looked to for his spiritual teachings. There is quite a lot of information out there on him and he has seen his share of controversy so I’m going to guess that this would be the faux chief Suey is referring to. (http://arvollookinghorse.homestead.com/chief_arvol_bio_2001.html).
The other chief signed on as a plaintiff is Chief David Bald Eagle of the Minikoju Band of the Cheyenne River Tribe Lakota Indians and First Chief of the United Indigenous Nations of the Americas. For those of you that don’t know, the Lakota refer to themselves as `The Horse People’. Chief Bald Eagle is the grandson of Chief White Bull, who fought along with Crazy Horse in the Battle of Little Bighorn. He is 94 yrs old and a life long horseman, still running a large herd of his own horses. On his 94th birthday, he narrated a letter to Congress, all Indigenous Nations of the Americas and the American People. One of the statements in that letter was as follows:
“We only eat the meat of animals that are vegetarian. All except the horse. We have always held a special feeling for the horse. The horse is sacred to our people. We have never eaten the horse. In Lakota, the horse is called Sunka Wakan. Sunka means dog, Wakan means Sacred or holy, “Sacred dog.”
The horse did not abandon us in Little Big Horn. The Horse did not abandon the Cherokee and Choctaw tribes in the Trails of Tears. The horse did not abandon us in our hunting. We will not abandon the horse now.”
This kinda tells a different story than the one that Suey and D-bag are screeching from the roof tops that ALL land based tribes are pro-slaughter and have no problem with horses being used for human consumption. Chief Bald Eagle seems to be quite wise to the ways of people like Suey and Big Ag groups as he also had this to say: “In these times we need the Native American people to wake up. It is easy to be misled by money, greed and false power. The Native American people are easily influenced as they have strayed from our traditional values and Way of Life…If the Native American people allow the horse slaughterhouses on Indian lands, it opens the door for Government and other special interest groups to control our lands and our way of life.” Of course anybody from the Rosebud Sioux nation could back him up on that statement as they had their problems letting in Trent Loos and his factory hog operation. Chief Bald Eagle’s letter is quite poignant as he goes on to describe what horses have meant to his people and their respect for `natural law’. It’s very much worth the read. (http://www.returntofreedom.org/meeting-the-chief-david-bald-eagle/). Oh, and in case Suey decides to disrespect this man any further, he is a veteran of the 82nd Airborne, decorated for bravery, and wounded behind enemy lines on D-Day(http://www.johngawne.com/baldeagle.html). In other words, Slaughterhouse Sue and D-bag Duquette are not worthy to shine this man’s shoes.
If there is one thing I have noticed about the PSA side of things, it’s that all their `experts’ hold very lofty titles. Lots of presidents of various coalitions etc. The problem with it all is that nobody has ever heard of any of these organizations and nine times out of ten, Suey is behind it all in some form or another. We can’t just have employee and rancher, Jason Smith give an opinion on something, we need to create an organization and make him important! Then he doesn’t even sign on to the lawsuit because he probably doesn’t have permission from his band to do so. Or who knows? Maybe he’s just tardy for the party and will get around to it at the 11th hour. Just like the PSAs have attempted to lay claim to the label of `animal welfare’ and appoint themselves as `industry’, saying it doesn’t really make it so. Then, if all that wasn’t bad enough, Suey in an astonishing lack of self-awareness, shows her gigantic, pimpled ass to be about the most`culturally arrogant and ethnically insensitive’ of them all. Surely, this isn’t the best she can do in making her case? I have a feeling that we’re in for much more hilarity and hijinks from the maven of horse hating in the coming days.
Odd isn’t it? How the scary, bad guys always turn out to be big bags of laughing gas. i am smiling and anticipating the laughter of the future. Thanks for the directions.
C heif Bald Eagle is an amazing man and Suey should be ashamed of herself.
$uey being ashamed of herself would require a conscience.
She has none.
Exactly…
I was so disgusted when I read what she said, I wasn’t even sure how to handle it. Goes to show she will stop at nothing.
I am in awe of Chief Bald Eagle and I am so glad there are people like him on board for this battle.
Also, that pic of Jason Smith in the corral made me laugh. It looks like his horses are going to run his ass over.
Wish they would, Michelle, but then they would be labeled “bad horses” and PSA’s think all of these “bad horses” should be slaughtered, even the “bad horses” that do good things.
I have also read on another site that the NM plant has installed waste water tanks on property to be hauled away .
If true, not such good news.
Because they did not get their permit from the state to handle that on site, they now must haul their waste away. They insist they will be ready to roll on the 5th.
I was telling my husband, Mike, about this this morning – going to haul the waste water away. Oh, they ARE are they? None of these yahoos have a CLUE. That idiot lawyer already said De Los Santos could handle the waste with cattle (some question about that…) so why would horses be any different? Whoever is paying this clown is paying too much. He obviously knows squat about horses, much less know that horses have TWICE as much blood as cattle, and, worse, it’s contaminated so you can’t just dump it off anywhere. What ARE they going to do with it?
If it weren’t for the fact that horses would have to die, I would love to see them on their first few days….. I wouldn’t kill even one horse to see it, but can you imagine how incredible it’s going to be? The blind leading the blind.
I’m right there with you, but even one horse at the hands of these barbarians is too much for me.
Those individuals who own land on the insidious waste route along with all the other drivers of that road should think about joining the case.
No doubt and I can’t even imagine how many truckloads a day they’ll have to haul given the blood volume of a horse. Besides, Valley Meat couldn’t keep their waste from cattle slaughter under control back in when they were doing that. I think he’s one of very few cattle slaughter facilities that managed to go broke when most other major houses are booming. Or at least they will until they start slaughtering horses. I have a feeling red meat may not be such a hot seller if that happens…
It’s worse than just the blood, according to statistics I’ve read, the average hanging weight on a horse is 30-35%, an average steer is over 60%. There’s more blood and more solid waste involved in horse slaughter. If they ever do business at this plant, someone needs to follow each and every waste truck leaving that place and find out what really happens.
OK…first my eyeballs were singed with the masturbation visual, but then was able to regroup because of roaring laughter generated by “butt monkeys”, glass house views and my Indian is better than your Indian.
Good stuff.
It so amazes me how this slaughter has gotten this far, our politicians have GOT to know how wrong all of this is??? Suey & D. Douche are a disgrace to mankind, disgraceful how far one will go all for the might dollar……. Truth, Justice will prevail we all know it feel it……… With all the data that we have and Pro has NONE how on earth could a judge not rule in our favor…….
I have a question you had written an article with all the committee names and numbers to 1094 & S.541 I called them all but want to call again and I can not find that article, thought I saved it but anyway could you possibly post those names & no. again would so appreciate it if you could??? 🙂
Names and numbers are on the bottom
THANK YOU SO MUCH will be done!!!! 🙂
Their smear campaign is a good indication of their impending defeat.
I never take anything for granted when it comes to the courts. They make some bizarre decisions. What it really comes down to most times is who has the best attorney.
Exactly!
Justice is frequently a function of cash that equals attorney that often means litigation staying power (dragging it out)….nothing to with right, wrong and frequently little to do with truth. Plus, there are a ton of really FUCKED UP laws on the books and missing from the books. Oh and some of the dumbest or most evil humans on the bench. Why do you think the Senate keeps screwing with Presidential appointees, especially judicial? Ain’t no mystery to me; delay means live another day to these cretins.
Berman and his machine are about a faux outrageous indignation against faux attacking American values (usually white, monied and antiquated) wherein they misinform thieves and idiots (like Krazya$$ King and $uet) to delay justifiable actions for the common good.
They lie to pretend there is a debate in the first place to extend the status quo.
Shame $$$$$$$$$ I am the voice of the horses and will always be 🙂
Native Americans were known for being respectful to the earth and not taking more than they needed. People like $ue Walli$ fucked the Indians out of everything that was sacred to them because of greed and arrogance. For her to act like she’s a friend to Native Americans is a joke. She is using them and nothing more. She is the epitome of greed and gluttony.
I would love to meet and converse with Chief David Bald Eagle.
Oh I love you Shedrow! You just know how to explain everything to us in the easiest of terms. Now I can go back to the blogs with so much more ammo. I’m getting tired of all this though. We need to finally put the nail in horse slaughter. And Suey needs to be put to rest along with Douchebag. Thanks for clarity!
Busted out some tears on Chief Bald Eagle…
Wanna kick sue in her capacious backside for, yet again, exploiting an indigenous people with her whacked-out desperation because nothing sez ‘legitimate’ like having a Native American in your pocket. And, of course, if you manage to (please pardon the pun) buffalo one representative of one nation, then the rest must surely follow.
Keep, talkin’, sue. My daddy always said, ” ‘Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”
I was really moved by what he had to say as well. To even think that she could try and discredit this man is disgusting and it pisses me off more than I can ever articulate.
Ditto!
NO to Horse slaughter now or ever! US horses are not raised or regulated as food animals and should never enter the food chain plus the fact that they are flight animals and slaughter of them will never be humane ever! NEVER and the experts know that for sure!
Can’t remember where I got this, but it’s good:
A few years ago, I came across an interview with the 19th Century Crow chief
Plenty Coups. It was recorded in 1930 by a man named Frank B. Lindeman, near the end of his life, and among other things, he spoke of the wild ones, several years after they had been gunned down on his – and their – homeland.
“…I have been told,” said Plenty Coups, “that the white man, who is almost a
god, and yet a great fool, does not believe that the horse has a spirit…This
cannot be true…”
All horses have spirits .. But not all humans
He must not have been `land based’ according to Suey and D-bag.
Right.
Guess all the violations reported recently regarding a KB in OK are unspeakable lies about an honest legitimate business. That business seems to be a PSAs stellar example of what it is to be humane.
Anybody whose job title is “kill buyer” is not a nice person. I don’t care what anybody says, buying up horses cheap and hauling them to slaughter and selling them per pound, is downright evil. PSA’s may hold kill buyers in high esteem, but PSA’s also hold $ue Walli$ & Douche Duquette in high esteem, as well. So, there you go.
Hopefully the price of fuel knocks them out of business should they get going. It will eat into any “gag” profits
Very good point. I’m with you on that, HW.
Hi I was hoping someone on this forum can guide me in the right direction. I just found out that the person that I have been trying to get money back from is the Dorothy Robertson that has been charged with animal neglect.
I was told by her that her name was Dorothy McGowan but figured out it was Robertson after some investigation. I sent her money for a ragdoll. A couple of days after she received I contacted her because I decided against traveling to get a ragdoll kitten. She never told me it was a deposit or said anything about not returning it. It was never written anywhere on her website. I asked in various emails over the last year for my money back. I saved all the e-mails. She said she would return it in one e-mail. I even offered to get a kitten from her and I would pay her the other half. Now she doesn’t replay to any of my e-mails. I was going to just give up but recently we wanted another ragdoll and my mom reminded of the lady that took my mom. I had thought of seeking legal advice–any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
I don’t give out contacts and I don’t have hers anyhow. I also don’t give legal advice beyond that it sounds like a civil case or at least that’s what the police would likely tell you. She is all over the net though and isn’t too hard to run down. Hope you can get your money back.
She is still reportedly on the Horse Grooming Supply forum still under the name coloredcowhorse. Good luck and hopefully you do take her to court.
Sue and her merry band of horse eating zealots fear the Humane Society because they have the legal and communications firepower to blast through her ridiculous lies and shady tactics.
Fortunately HSUS has better things to do than sue idiots for slander who say shite like, “Less than 1/2 of 1% of their hundreds of millions of deceptively raised dollars actually goes to help a single dog or cat, let alone a horse.” Uh, Suey, they run the largest equine sanctuary in the United States and 79-80% of their money raised goes to animals. They are not a shelter-funding organization, however, which is what transparent animal haters like Sue and Big Ag would like them to be, so they wouldn’t have the resources to shape humane legislation, crack down on animal abusers and exploiters, counter blatant misinformation and lies from exploiters, and look out for not only dogs and cats in shelters (which represent only 0.04% of animals in the US), but to also advocate for wild animals, and those used in circuses, entertainment, labs, rodeos, horse racing, the fur trade, hunting…. and the list goes on.
Bottom line is that Sue and her animal exploiting ilk despise any opposition in their schemes to profit from animal abuse and suffering.
Newsflash! According to crybaby DeSanto’s someone set fire to the outside of the slaughterhouse damaging the outside and a refridgeration unit. I smell an inside job here!

Hard to say, but i sure hope that some misguided soul didn’t do this thinking they would stop production. Strange he seems to be the only one getting all the grief when you never hear a peep out of Iowa and they are probably the ones the closest to opening should they be successful on Friday.
Good points made in the comment sections of the news articles….
It’s been mentioned in previous reportings that security cameras were installed – so where is the security footage?
They’ve also mentioned in previous articles that they hired security guards
So, did the guards and security cameras have the day off…. ? ?
Like R&Z said supposedly he had all this protection up and running so where is the proof, supposedly there is a witness, supposedly.
Either it is a ploy to play the “see the anti’s are dangerous” card or he burnt it knowing his business is done for before it began. There is no way he can afford to remove the waste off site.
I guess I find it odd that out of the 3 or so plants supposedly ready to open, he’s the only one having such problems. Something doesn’t feel right about this. Anybody know where Sappington was when this fire broke out?
Dear God, don’t let them be successful on Friday.
Shedders & Crew:

Thank you!
There is definitely something smelly going on at Valley Meats. In their correspondence with the USDA, De Los Santos mentioned his “partners,” but he would never give their names. Still hasn’t. Some have said that the real owners of the plant are wealthy Mexican horse slaughter entrepreneurs who are living in Texas – can’t remember the names, darn it!
Then, there is the FACT that De Los Santos should NEVER has been awarded an inspection permit. He’s a felon who lied on his first two permit applications. That should have been it right there. Then there are the shut-downs for cruelty to cattle and environmental violations. With ALL THIS, Vilsack says he had no recourse because he had to follow “Federal laws.” If this place didn’t require a refusal, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE? GEEZ!
I distinctly remember reading in the paper – probably the Albuquerque news – that quoted De Los Santos as saying the was going back to slaughtering cattle. In just a few days after here comes Suey and her minions and De Los Santos has a lawyer – a dimwit but a lawyer – and he’s saying he’ll fight to the end. Quite an interesting turn of events, no?
You think he would have hauled butt out of this sooner. I think he is scared of Wallis, she has broken one person’s arm, bullied to get what she wants.
He should get out of the slaughtering business period he can’t do it right and never will get it right.
I’m telling you guys, Valley Meats has always been and continues to be their sacrificial lamb. He draws all the attention, negative or otherwise and meanwhile places like Iowa and Missouri quietly get ready to open under the radar. That’s my opinion on it anyhow. Clearly there is money passing hands behind the scenes to keep this fight going.
Like Rockville was, Suey using them to get her fat foot in the door. Supposedly they are trying to get a permit, never heard of them settling who actually owns the joint.
The proposed plant in Missouri is different one. I think the one with the pending application is Rains Natural Meats and is an different location and unrelated to Rockville.
No what I meant Shed is that Rockville was never to be opened and Sue knew the issues with the plant, hell the guy is a lawyer that is supposed to be a partner on Rockville, I suspect it was Gallatin all along. And like Iowa was to be the intended open plant not NM. Just suspecting is all.
But I don’t rule out her trying to get Rockville added she has mentioned them once again. Those idiots are drooling to get horses murdered.
I don’t quite understand how they think there are enough horses to support all these slaughter houses. There were only three up and running when slaughter shut down in 2007 and no talk of more. Now she wants one or two in every other state, but still wants us to believe it’s all about unwanted horses. Nothing would surprise me at this point as to what her plans really are. She’ll kill horses one way or another.
I’m just wondering what happened to his security cameras. Didn’t he make mention of having to install security back when he was whining about threats? It also happened on Saturday but we’re just hearing about it today. Something is not adding up for me.
And I know pro-horsey people have a tendency toward gentle natures and fierce hearts, but I honestly don’t believe ANYONE would risk branding us all as eco-terrorists by doing something like this.
It’s one thing to vocalize a desire for destruction, vengeance or bad juju to befall an opponent but it would be something else entirely to break the law like this.
I believe it’s arson; I just don’t believe an advocate would do it (also, I got that whole Peter Pan thing goin’ on…).
Oh I think the fire was intentional too. I just don’t support anybody that resorts to such things and I certainly don’t absolve de Los Santos from responsibility either. Things are always more complicated than they appear and the timing of all this is quite suspect as well. However, they will continue to paint us all with the same brush, while whining that we do the same to them. The only problem is that I have yet to see a PSA come out with an intelligent or justifiable argument for slaughter, nor have I ever seen a single one even consider any other option.
Indeed.
Incredibly, this happens just after de Los Santos admits Valley Meats probably won’t open after all — and two days before oral arguments on an injunction that could put it on hold till after the 2014 Appropriations.
And right after Robert Redford, the NM AG, and former Gov of NM petition to join the lawsuit.
And he got his waste water permit or whatever that was denied by the state. Maybe he finally found out about how much it would really cost to haul the waste water away given that a horse has about double the blood volume of a cow and it is likely quite toxic in most cases.
Who needs lab rats .. We have perfect examples of the results of human consumption of horse meat … Their brains are mush .. If only the brain stems are functioning that would explain the zombie like behavior .. And the thirst for blood
Anyone know how much insurance coverage De Los Santos had on this place? Did he increase his insurance after all these “improvements?”
