The International Community Against Horse Slaughters statement regarding this horrifying atrocity: By now you may have all probably heard of the truck-load of slaughterbound horses that overturned in Oklahoma last week; It turns out these horses were owned (purchased) by a woman killbuyer in Higbee, Mo. by the name of Laurie Caldwell. Her employee / consignor is (middleman) Terry Broocke; (Terry Broocke Co*) Jonesburg, MO 63351 - Phone: (636) 488-5219 who is her purchasing agent who then hired Christopher Dobbin to transport them. It was he who fell asleep at the wheel causing the truck to crash and resulting in the death of 11 of the horses. These horses were purchased by the killbuyers and/or their agents as named above from; Midwest Exchange Regional Stockyards Street: 1120 Market Drive Mexico, Mo 65265-3518 Phone: (573) 581-2250 We are making this petition just so the world will know the true nature of these places and of the horror these AMERICAN horses suffer not only at the slaughter houses but while waiting for slaughter in the feedlots and during transport too. In many states it is illegal to transport horses in cattle trucks which are not designed high enough for horses, nor do they have any dividers to seperate them from each other, but are crammed in all together like a truck full of sows. Many dont make it to the slaughter plants but are kicked or crushed to death by the larger or stronger horses along the way. Mares, stallions and babies, drafts and minis, old and young, are all shoved in together tightly packed on slippery floors, and left without food or water or rest for the long cross-country hauls. It is a terrible disgustingly cruel way to treat any animal, especially our American horses which are supposed to be protected from such cruelty as they are not traditional food animals as per the USDA,..and are not consumed by humans in the USA. HELP STOP THIS UNSPEAKABLE CRUELTY BY MAKING PEOPLE AWARE (sign and share) OF AMERICAS HEINOUSLY BRUTAL BETRAYAL OF THE VERY ANIMALS THAT HELPED BUILD OUR COUNTRY! thepetitionsite/1/no-2-horsemeat-trade-frontier-meats/?cid=FB_TAF newsok/article/3463110#disqus_thread
