It seems that the people have spoken and there will be no slaughter plant for horses in Iowa. Thank those that were diligent enough to push through and save the horses. Unfortunately, Valley Meat is going to push through until they get a slaughter plant in New Mexico. Although a slaughter house wont' be in our backyards, it's still necessary to keep pushing to save the horses.
I am seeing more and more good horses up for sale. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them other than an owner that no longer wants to care for that horse during the winter months of South Dakota (or at least that's the usual jist of most people getting rid of horses "need to thin the herd").
I found out a little bit of info on Bo's previous owner, I think. Well, it's not really info but it's the location of one pasture he either rents or owns. Only when people stop selling horses at auctions for cheap and when people start doing reference checks before letting their beloved horse go to someone else, can we stop somone like this evil man from acquiring innocent horses and subsequently hurting them (and eventually entering these horses into the slaughter pipeline.
Ignorance is not something you are born with.
