  5. This should NEVER happen.
    It grieves me that this is happening in many countries.
    There is no excuse or need for this EVER.
    and one day all involved in this will be answerable to God for this.🐎❤️🇦🇺

  6. Thank you for bringing attention to this awful practice of horse 🐎 torture! Hope you'll speak up of what's happening to dogs, monkeys and cats and others in cruel lab testing to. In the USA alone 70,000 beagles are bred for lab testing 😭

  13. I recently had a horrific ordeal with one of my horses… my favorite in fact.
    My son came running in yelling… "Sundance hurt his eye!" (Horse's name is Sundance because when he first joined our family, he'd do a little happy dance every time he saw me.)
    Anyway I sprinted outside, with my boots half on. What I saw terrified me! He had somehow ripped his eyelid off! It was a big flap hanging by a 1/4" strip on one end.
    Of course it was after hours on a Sunday. Still I called every vet in the county. No luck… panic is setting in.
    Monday rolls around, I beg my regular vet to help and he's overbooked already but offers to bring in another doctor to see my horse.
    Adding to the terror, our road is washed out, partially covered by a nearby lake. I can't get my trailer out and there isn't another available anywhere.
    My animals are more important than I am, therefore I'm going anyway.
    Hooked up & loaded, we drive down to the lake with two of our 4×4 trucks and the trailer.
    The first truck, empty, crosses and makes it. The water was about 3 feet deep. My son quickly turned it around so the winch was facing my truck just in case.
    I go fo it, water is coming in, over the floor but I'm moving. I too make it!
    My son moves his truck to the side & abandoned it hopping into mine.
    We get to the vet, about thirty miles away. This woman doctor comes out, briefly looks at him, seemingly yawns… "no problem, bring him in & we will fix him right up."
    Now I don't have a clue who this doctor is but she's not the least bit excited over what she just saw. Now I'm almost in tears.
    Forever passes, the assistant comes out (awesome girl in her early 20s, all of our animals absolutely adore her) and says… "He won't go down, we gave him enough to knock out a Clydesdale and the doctor is afraid to give him more, our only option is to wait & see."
    Another 45 min to an hour passes, the girl comes back out & says… "We got it. As soon as he's awake I'll bring him out." He's walking like a drunk sailor on shore-leave.
    I'm still expecting a mangled mess as I approach to give him a look.
    I'm astonished to see that other than half a dozen stiches, his eye looks 100% normal! Both eyes are half closed like he's got a bad hangover, but he looks fantastic! Not even any swelling!
    The office girl comes out to discuss the bill. Pretty much everything she said went in one ear & out the other. Apparently she could tell I wasn't interested. Then went on suggesting payment arrangements. I stopped her saying. "I honestly don't care about the bill. Whatever it is, I'll pay it before we leave today. Right now my focus is on my horse." She left.
    Then the doctor comes out, pretty much yawns again… to her, just another day at the office.
    I said "He looks fantastic! That's nothing short of a miracle!"
    She replied… "Not really, I've seen MUCH worse. It was far less than expected from the description I got before I was able to examine him. The only issue was sedation. He wouldn't cooperate."
    I'm not usually the emotional type but I was extremely tempted to make a scene & hug her. I couldn't thank her enough!
    It's getting late so I go in the office to settle up. I'm expecting the bill to look like my zip code.
    Turned out it wasn't bad enough to mortgage the ranch.
    Then it took another three hours to get him loaded in the trailer! Normally he loads / unloads great. It's not that he refused to, he was still so stoned, he couldn't!
    I ended up backing the trailer over the sidewalk so he didn't need to step up as much. Poor horse.
    It's completely dark out by this time so just before we started to drive off, I turned off the interior lights of the trailer. All of a sudden it felt and sounded like a rodeo back there. I turned the lights back on then jumped out to check. Everything was fine… Second time I turned the lights out, same thing. Turns out he's afraid of the dark! We drove all the way home with the lights on.
    We finally made it back across the lake & home. I backed the trailer into the corral & was going to just leave the door open. He walked right out went into the stable for his midnight snack.
    We spent the next few hours going over every inch of fence, stable etc. looking for how he did it. Found nothing. The only other possibility was a tree. The tree was history as soon as the sun came up.
    Later the next day I went out to check on him & give him his eye goop & pain drugs… only to see that he did it again! This time he tore off the good end it was hanging from, now it's being held by one of the stiches!
    Back to the vet!
    I asked her to get out her magic wand & do it again (but didn't think she could fix it this time) she assured me that she could but warned "it may not completely match the other eye but it will function properly."
    I explained that I love this horse dearly & don't care what he looks like, I just need him to be healthy & happy.
    I swear, this woman is more magician than doctor. She did it again! There was some swelling the 2nd time but that subsided within a couple days.
    He's 100%!
    Same bill as before, I tried asking if it was covered under any kind of warranty but that didn't work. Hey it was worth a try.
    I just love a happy ending. My horse is fine, my checkbook took longer to heal but that's OK.
    Sorry that was so long but my point of sharing was under normal circumstances NOBODY gets near my animals that I don't trust 100%. In an emergency sometimes concessions are needed. As it turned out this doctor was phenomenal! I should have realized that if my regular vet trusted her, that I should too. He was right.

  14. Well, you can only expect more of this with further Globalisation, like the other lot with our Dogs, animals which are genetically developed to trust us betrayed, by the usual Greedy produce nothing Trader type. I know which lot I would prefer to put down.

  16. Horses are an american institution and are so close to being like humans in compassion. Gonna spend the rest of my life figuring how to put a stop to these barbaric aholes doing this inhumane horse####!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. This may be illegal in the USA, but keep in mind that the BLM still rounds up wild horses and sells them. This should also be illegal.
    Not to mention that millions of other species of animals are trapped in the factory farms and abused every day in the USA. 😥 ALL of it needs to stop!

  20. Why not stop the slaughter of all of the animals? Is the pain of a horse greater than the pain of a cow or pig or chicken? Not stating this because of the new “agenda”, but because I love animals and don’t like to see any of them suffer.

  25. This is the same as exporting chickens, cows and other animals humans consume and mass produce. Horses are just one of the more acceptable breeds for people. Heck, horses were in dog food not too long ago! Life is life. When we stop wanting to eat dead corpses are when there may be a chance horses like this won't experience such a fate.
