This should be self explanatory.
While browsing the local social media websites, I came across one of the most preposterous things I have seen in a while. Which when it comes to the broker programs, you would think that you have read it all. No.
Sundew Saves made a shocking revelation, one so great, that I spit out a perfectly good mouth full of stout. After mourning the loss of what seems to be wasted alcohol, I decided to blog about it.
According to those that run Sundew Saves, there is a lack of horses at New Holland, there for driving up the price the kill buyer(s) must pay to fill his (their) loads. And there are according to the dealers just not that many horses around. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
Ponder that a minute, that's right ponder it, contemplate it. Bullshit. Is that what came to mind with you? Because it has to be one of the most absurd things I have heard in a long time, next to "we don't make any money off these horses" line.
What twat waffle fails to realize, and many of her blind followers, is that there was a very large sale at Mel Hoover's auction on 2/2/2013, that ran threw over two hundred head of horses. At that sale of course, was Mr.Sunshine himself Bruce Rotz, Chuck Beam who purchases for Brian Moore, and a host of other low life dealers. You can read more about that auction here at Animal Angels. ( I encourage you to read, and pay close attention to the fact that not one, but two horses had a severe case of Strangles.)
Well, this leads to me believe two things. One, being the absolute most important, is that making such a bold statement, will only lead people to pay a even more absurd amount of money for these broker horses, after all the higher price has just been justified in their minds. Two, anyone who purchased horses from AC$H, should really be careful as I did spot some horses from the Hoover sale in their broker program, and that means they do run the risk of having Strangles, or being exposed. (of course buyer beware, Bruce was there buying horses up also, however it would be nothing new, as a large majority of horses coming from Bruce are sick, lame, or a combination. The healthy fat ones are the ones that you don't see, as they are shipped, after all he has contracts to fulfill.) Seems as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree there, now does it Sundew Saves??

So, in conclusion here, you the general public will justify paying a absurd amount of a horse that was bought with intentions of resale. I know, I know...that's not true at all, or so I have been told, thank you anonymous for sending me pictures of horses that had the green tag slapped on them, that were sold in the broker program recently. But, I counter that..first pretty pictures justifying the cause of these people lining the pockets of these crooks.
This is one of the pictures sent to me privately. Horse appears to be in good condition, however it doesn't mean that all is golden in the Land of Oz. This said horse presented signs of illness, so the vet would not sign off on the required USDA paperwork to ship her. Loss of money for Bruce? NOT A CHANCE! This is why the broker programs exist. He didn't lose a dime off this horse, in fact he made his money back, and a little more.
I would like to ask this, since the status of this said horse changed, along with a few others, did you notify the auction house Bruce? Did you pull a coggins within the required amount of time by the statues set forth by the state of PA?
The slaughter of horses is a bit intricate, with a number of regulations that rarely get followed, ok, not rarely, never. Why aren't they enforcing these said regulations? Because there is only a small group of individuals jumping up and down, filing complaints, exposing the truths, and fighting the good fight. While the rest is busy ensuring that there is no shortage of cash flow into the bloody hands of these crooks, and killers. Here is another thought, I have seen a number of increased Thoroughbreds making their way threw Bruce's collecting station. What changed in less than a year? After all Richelieu and Bouvry made public statements saying they were backing away from accepting TBs. Funny, I have seen Bruce purchase a number of tattooed TBs at auctions, not just New Holland (remember there are more than just New Holland in PA), ones that never appeared in this broker program. Care to explain that one? Should we talk about the backside of tracks, that you are still receiving horses from?

You want to know Bruce's thoughts on saving horses?? Here have a good read on the DRF. Pay close attention to the last paragraph. Not exactly the compassionate man, that Chicken Little and Sundew Saves paints him to be now is he?
Time for your daily affirmation. Keep putting that money in the hands of these people and you have just allowed them to have a endless supply of monies to purchase even more horses, think I am wrong, visit Ohio sometime, and look at the increased number of equines Andio is able to purchase since he can pawn of the lame, or sick on the general public, all it takes is a tug at the heart string, and plea, let's not forget the threat of that green tag being slapped on the withers. Think about the bigger effect that John Q. Public is having on the industry by relentlessly supporting these broker programs. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
