ACTION ALERT!! - HORSES NEED OUR HELP ASAP!!

THIS JUST IN FROM "AMERICAN'S AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER" PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS MESSAGE AND MAKE THE CALL OR SEND A FAXED LETTER ASAP!!

Dear Friends,

Following is a message from long time horse advocate, Gail Vacca in Illinois. This hearing on HB 4812 is scheduled for February 23. Gail will be there to testify against the bill with other long-time members of their IL anti-slaughter team.

Please take action to help our friends in IL.

THE HORSES URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP!

The horse slaughter plants and their meat industry allies are at it again. Illinois State Representative Jim Sacia has introduced a bill (HB 4812) that would repeal the 2007 Illinois ban on horse slaughter, which if passed, would ultimately allow Cavel to resume slaughtering horses in DeKalb , IL .

In what is perhaps even more disturbing, Rep. Sacia has also offered a clause to HB 4812 that calls for a fee of $25 to be charged to the slaughterhouse for each horse slaughtered. This money would then be placed into a fund for eventual distribution to equine rescues for use in expanding their operations or providing care to rescued horses.

The ILEHC finds this clause to be particularly repulsive and we want our members and supporters to know that we would never accept a single penny of the proposed blood money. The ILEHC has joined with several other Illinois-based equine rescue organizations to issue a joint letter to the Illinois General Assembly (ILGA) stating our opposition to HB 4812. We have also distributed a joint press release to multiple Illinois media outlets.

How can you help?

We need each of you to call, fax, and email each member of the House Committee on Agriculture. Please make sure to write "Vote NO on HB 4812" in the subject line of your emails and faxes.

URGENT ALERT!! - DON'T SELL YOUR BELOVED HORSE TO THIS WOMAN! SHE IS A SCAMMER AND SELLS HORSES TO KILLER BUYERS!

Dear friends,

I'm posting this to make everyone aware of this woman who is posing as a loving family woman so she can get you to sell your horse to her, and then she turns around and sells them to killer buyers at an auction. Read the following story and tell everyone you know about her. My friends and I believe that this woman is using different names like KIM or APRIL. We also believe that this may be the same woman that owns the business called "CRANBERRY RUN FARMS" but we are not sure yet, the picture I posted on here sure looks like her. I'm also posting a picture of her on this blog message so you can all be aware what she looks like and the information she is giving. Also be aware that her and her friends know of my blog and may change some information after reading this (ie: phone numbers, names that she goes by and etc.) EVERYONE, PLEASE DO A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK ON ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BUY YOUR HORSES AND CROSS CHECK THE NAMES THAT THEY ARE GIVING YOU, SO YOU CAN DOUBLE CHECK AND CONFIRM IT WITH A PHOTO. DON'T FALL FOR HER TRAP THAT SHE IS BUYING THE HORSE FOR HER DAUGHTER OR SOME OTHER HEARTFELT EXCUSE, BECAUSE SHE IS REALLY SELLING YOUR HORSE TO A KILLER BUYER.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND:

Protect your horse - so it doesn't happen to you! They lied.
Here is a statement from Jaime.
Sunday a family came to pickup Mr. Megan aka Gamble a Thoroughbred gelding that we had housed, loved and cared for. We thought we were doing the right thing by allowing this family to take him. They showed up looking like a loving home, promised a forever home and stating he was going to be their daughters horse who was also along for the appointment but this horse was sold the very next day through an auction in New Holland PA. Another Chance 4 Horses Horse Helper Lisa contacted us to let us know that our horse was listed on the broker owned pages of the website Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc. www.ac4h.com. We are bringing Gambler back home.

We don't want this to happen to you or your horse! She contacted me in reference to a CL (CRAIGS LIST) ad that I had for Gambler to find him a home. Called from cell number 856-430-2553 and she went by the name of April. In doing internet research this is the information connected with that number. Please be aware that they are known to have been in DE as they had Deleware tags, NJ and PA areas. Red rusty type trailer, door held closed with bailing twine. Entire rig was older. They will look for cheap or free horses and offer a good home with no intention of providing one. Please use a contract to protect yourself and your horse.

If we wanted our horse to go through an auction we would have taken him there ourselves. We have been lied to and taken advantage of and want to help others with our experience. Below are pictures of the lady who took my horse on Sunday. She may be using the name Kim, April Evans or any other name. You may receive an email from this email address or one of her others apparently she has many IP addresses.

APRIL EVANS INFORMATION


MORE INFO ON APRIL EVANS!

IF THIS REALLY IS THE WOMAN FROM CRANBERRY RUN FARMS, WHICH HER WEBSITE IS LISTED AT THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF MY BLOG, SHE IS OBVIOUSLY DESPERATE TO BUY OTHER PEOPLES HORSES BECAUSE MYSELF AND FRIENDS OF MINE RUINED HER IMAGE WITH RACE TRACK OWNERS AND THEY ARE NO LONGER SELLING THEIR HORSES TO HER. SO SHE IS RESORTING TO BUYING PRIVATE OWNERS HORSES AND SELLING THEM TO KILLER BUYERS. LIKE I SAID, WE ARE NOT SURE YET THAT THIS IS HER, BUT WE ARE DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ON IT. I WILL ALSO BE ALERTING THE AUTHORITIES ON THIS WOMAN. SHE FUNDS HER HORSE RAISING BUSINESS BY SELLING OTHER PEOPLE'S HORSES TO KILL BUYERS. CRANBERRY RUN FARM SHOULD NOT GET BUSINESS FROM ANYONE, SHE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD! SHE TREATS HER OWN HORSES LIKE CRAP. JUST READ SOME OF MY BLOGS AND EMAILS THAT SHE HAS SENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. IT'S IN MY PAST BLOGS IN 2008 AND 2009. SHE WILL TRY TO COME ACROSS LIKE SHE CARES FOR ALL HER HORSES, BUT SHE IS THE BIGGEST LIER!!! SHE CALLS HER HORSES "A PIECE OF TRASH", WORDS STRAIGHT FROM HER MOUTH.
