A Disappointing Day For Animals In Canada
News Update!! April 9, 2008 It was a disappointing day for Animals in Canada when Bill S- 203 passed the final vote in the House of Commons by a vote of 187-71. It will become law once it recieves Royal Assent and Proclamation. Although this was a very disappointing outcome, it was encouraging to see so many Members of Parliament stand against this archaic and inadequate bill. The opposing votes were from NDP, Liberal and one Bloc MP. Conservatives stood steadfastly in support of this shameful bill that retains the archaic and problematic offences enacted in 1892. To read further on the outcome of Bill S- 203 please click here and visit the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies web site.

The horse community in the area has pulled together for a massive rescue operation. Any donation at this time is not too small. This operation has a substantial start up cost just to get the horses to the ranch where care will be provided to bring them back to health. Please consider to give at this time and be part of a movement that will make the difference in the lives of many more horses in that they may not have to go down this road with the awareness that has now been created.

Menopause, Horses and the Industry of Death
In generations past, horses were abandoned or shipped off to slaughter once it was decided that they had worn out their usefulness in pulling wagons or plows and in carrying loads or people: think of poor Boxer, carried away by a van marked “Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler” toward the end of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Today, some horses are sentenced to die because they are of no more use to pharmaceutical companies that make fortunes dispensing medicines to consumers, most notably the drug Premarin.

MESSAGE FROM THE SPIRIT OF THE HORSE
You seeth not what stands before the eyes,
It is time that you spoke for us,
We need your voices,
We take heart that many are awakening to our needs.
We are united as one.
We sing the song of the spheres.
We ground your beings into the earth
And through us we connect you to the stars.
You wonder why you feel good when you touch us - lean into us.
It is because we connect you to the stars.
See us - we sacrifice ourselves to your blindness,
And never give up hope that you will awaken,
And we will be released from our suffering.
Our ancestors had more hope.
Some of you see the sunrise when you ride us - feel the trees.
But how many of you feel the stream of light that flows
Between us when we carry you on our backs?
Our connections breathe life into your lifeless bodies.
See us once again as brothers.
We are here to serve as mirrors - so that you, mankind
can find your way back to the stars.
to the source that serves for us all.
Our molecular structure is one.
Know your power, mankind.
When you see us as one with you,
then you will know your strength.
We love you - We are one with all beings,
We are a vehicle for that knowingness of Oneness.
Hear ye the cries of the rooster,
Mankind must awaken,
He may no longer sleep.
- Linda Tellington Jones
