STOP THE KILLING of NEWBORN BABY HORSES!

STOP THE KILLING of NEWBORN BABY HORSES!

Target:
THE NURSE-MARE FARMING INDUSTRY

Nurse Mare Farms - The Equine Industrys "Other" Dirty Little Secret


Much the same as PMU farms where mares are kept pregnant
for the hormone content of their urine during pregnancy for
use in hormore replacement therapy, where the babies thusly
produced are unwanted / disposable by-products (learn more
about the PMU's and sign a petition for them here:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/802336123
)

nurse mare farms keep their mares pregant for the colostrum-
rich mothers milk for use on foals other than the mares own.
The unwanted babies are byproducts and are usually immediately killed and discarded, usually by clubbing them in the head
right at the barns before they take their first breath! And their
hides sold to tanneries to be made into designer shoes and bags!

And some more of the lucky ones; 
There are some absolutely gorgeous babies here!!

And here is a link to where you can see some of the
wholesale buyers of their skins;

http://www.equinevoices.org/ponyskins.php


The colostrum-rich first milk of the mother is reserved for
the "better," more important foals, usually for the racing
industry who deem their "bred for racing" foals  "more
worthy" of life and/or of the colostrum rich milk. Sometimes,
the colostrum is "banked," which is becoming a popular industry
in itself (Colostrum Banks) but usually the mares "in milk" are
used as surrogate mothers for the "privlidged foals"  whos
mothers cant be with them because they are being sent off to
breeding farms to be bred back right away or need to continue
on in her career and not have to be burdned with the raising of
a baby.

Someone astutely observed that the whole nasty business could
be avoided if the Jockey Club would just make a rule that the
baby horses stay with their moms until weaned, as it should be!
Such a rule would help cut down on over-breeding too! So ah,....
we think this is definately a subject that needs more exploration
& exposure, as seems there are some simple solutions.
We are about convincing theThe Jockey Club to bann this
dispicable practice and to meanwhile compel the nurse mare
farmers to work with more rescues on a larger
scale. Who of these Nurse Mare Farm owners  is willing
to work with the rescues,  and who is not,... and if not, why
not? And if so, how far are they willing to go to to help us save
all the babies and/or stop the "necessity" of producing them? 
These things we must know.

Travailler à un gentil, doux, monde plus compatissant. Les animaux sont des êtres sans défense, ils sont attachants et donnent beaucoup plus que n'importe quel humain. Qu'ils soient jeunes ou vieux laissez les chevaux tranquilles ! Aucun animal ne mérite ça ! Signez la pétition contre l'hippophagie sur le site de Brigitte Bardot ! Les poulains vont aussi à l'abattoir pour leur viande !

Pensez-vous que les humains en Ontario un «droit» de dominer, d'exploiteur et de consommer Tout Dans la nature? Non l'être humain est un Gros Con Qui détruit tout sur son passage y compris ses semblables! c'est désespérant de voir Tant De cruauté! alors faisons des bottes et des manteaux en peau d'humain! Arrêtez de massacrer les chevaux et autres animaux! Les animaux ne sont pas barbares EUX !
