Start Paddling Sunshine.

Sunday Sharing.

Sharing the wealth is a good thing, especially that in the Truck is Coming Saga.  I received a link to a interesting, and very colorful document.  This very single document tracks just about every horse that has ever ran through the East Coast's most notorious broker owned program.

I am amazed and yet perplexed at the hours it must of taken this data miner to assemble such a granger of information.  It would not shock me in the least to think that this individual is also tracking Rotz's umbrageous horse business.

It's a fairly complicated document, so I did kindly receive a explanation of how to read it.

How silly of me, a link to the document also.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1L4NjWCxTJ3eUstTnZDQkNfZVE/edit?usp=sharing


Oh one last thing.

Beep. Beep.

I truly don't have much to say today.  After all despite what has been said, and published, sheeple still believe that the truck is coming.  Honestly, I don't know where it is coming from, or where it is going, I cannot even speculate if it's stopping.  The Peanut Gallery is beyond  a absolute doubt convinced that it is arriving.

What's the ETA on this so called truck?

What I can say is the Karma Bus has been creating a bit of a highway hell for the well known notorious broker program.  

It all started when Karma bit a certain low level dealer in the ass with text messages describing his disagreeable feelings on them (I would like to give kudos to him for his primitive, but descriptive text.  It was similar to deciphering ancient language).  I bet that hurt, and not feelings either.  That was the first stop.  After that initial stop, it is a affable of stops.  News articles, Moore's wife giving a opprobrious series of statements to Lancasteronline.  Which was surprisingly shared by the Paulick Report.  Kudos, we know how far that audience expands.   

Of course we cannot forget about the entries, exposing everything from the plants to simplicity of the green tag, and all the hoodwink in between.

In case you have not read them, or kept up, you can do so here The Ethics of Equine Rescue.  

I guess I do have a point to this entry after all.  

Just a simplistic picture will do.

Beep. Beep.

Wednesday Wavering.

Let's be honest, you seem to be having a tough time selling those horses. Oh.  I mean rescuing them.  I can get a retraction on the first line, please?

Tuesday we have this.

There is just a hovering stench of bullshit that tends to lurk in the air with this Broker Program.

Let's just be honest with ourselves here.  The half bail, is the bottom dollar price Moore needs.  Maybe with a few extra bucks left over for one's troubles. 

Did the truck come?  

Or will be seeing these horses ran back thru sale?  Or ending up at Gail's farm for sale?  How about Val's place?  I would say the Oxford location, but it seems as if they wised up.  Possibly even Haycock Stables?  Ho hum.

I can assure the truck that came, was not one that was hauling kill cattle on the way down, and hauling kill horses on the way back to Canada.

Don't worry Brian, if the Shit Shack can't flip'em for you, I am sure good ole' Gail can.  After all one can never feed enough horses to a woman, right?  Or was that a line of credit that you extended?  

Just the devil in the details.

A tongue weighs so little, yet few can hold it.

The previous Sunday, there was a lovely, and very informative article released by Lancaster Online.
It seemed as if those quotations made a certain rescue's walls start to tremble a bit, so much so that there was rebuttal released.  After careful consideration, and in a epic manner to maintain class and dignity, this was released demanding retraction!

(Please do not drink anything while reading this, I would hate to see you spit your drink out all over your phone, computer, Ipad, and so forth.   Not to mention liquids being snorted out of your nostrils.)

LIES ALL LIES!!!!!!

I cannot help but to chuckle over this rebuttal, what a noble and valiant attempt to disguise one's wrong doings, and keep up appearances with a colleague.  This types of statements questioning one's ethical business operations is nothing new, after all a employee of the Manure Menagerie was quite willing to express his thoughts on their rescue efforts.   Even Mr.Stoltzfus had colorful descriptions and opinions of their rescue effort.  Dare I say more?

While I never did get a response about what the thoughts were about a "rescue" having a dealer's license.  I did discover that there were some names missing from the list.  Cough. Cough.

The Whole Document can be viewed here.
PA Dealers License.

And a brief document explaining what and why the Dealers License is in existence.
Domestic Animal Law

Of course and we cannot forget about those pesky enforcement policies.
Domestic Animal Law (2)



While I am sure, this whole fiasco is a simple misunderstanding, and a slew of twisted words molded into damaging statements.

But, after all isn't the proof in the pudding?

This seems to go hand in hand with this Public Service Announcement.

What are you waiting on?  Go ahead and make that call.

Pot meet Kettle.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

The only ruination to the horse business is the cesspool that you wade in my love and that includes those that you have declared that you are not associated with.  

A half-truth does more mischief than a whole lie, Sunshine.

“I suppose we all lie to ourselves sometimes.”

Tell me sweet little lies.  Especially that on a Sunday.  

Read it and weep.  

So Called Broker Program

What no call backs?  No return emails?  Surely you aren't that busy any other day than Monday or Tuesday?   

In the article linked above it appears that there is waspish tone coming from those interviewed.  

Interesting, it seemed like yesterday that I received a email with various screen shots about a "associate" of the Manure Menagerie.  Let me refresh your memory.  How is that balancing act going for you?

Of course I have to add insult to injury.

I would love to hear about her feelings on a "rescue" that has dealers license?  Especially one that makes regular visits to the property.

Ho hum.  What a indomitable statement we have here.

knock. knock. mother f*cker.

Honesty is the soul of business.

I have been in a share type of mood a lot here lately.  Call me generous if you will.

     This is a mini.  Minis do not ship.  

  It is a nice demonstration of the extreme lengths  they are willing to venture to for a meal ticket. Enjoy those meals while you can!  I heard prison food isn't what it's cracked up to be.  

   

The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.

cough. cough.

Enough said. (well for the moment.)

Cheers Bitches. 

Moving Forward in Reverse

Since life has kept some of us very busy.  

Another update of the truck is coming sage is due.

We can't forget about the men that make these contemptible programs happen.  So, let me be the first to tip my hat to all of you.

We shall revisit the Moore Fleet seen here in this  blog  The Truck is Coming.  Now, if you would like to know more about just how that truck comes along, feel free to read up here The Ethics of Equine Rescue.

It appears as if Mr. Moore only has a intrastate CDL, meaning there is no traveling outside of the state of PA.

So, for those of you that have seen Mr.Moore's rigs at Unidallia, and other out of state auctions.  Snap a pic, because  the DOT would love to see it.  (they even have fax available.).

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/contact/who-to-contact/contactus.htm

I would also like to add, it does not matter who he puts behind the wheel. 

And since we all know that despite what goes on in the public eye, there is also the seedy underbelly, people at the sales barn should be aware that paying Phil Shirk to haul for you is bad news.  Seems as Phil has failed to stay in good standing with the U.S. DOT.  

Seems after a nice conversation with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration they were a tad considered that he was still operating.  

Feel free to hit the link above if you catch him hauling loads, DOT would love to hear from you. 

You can also voice your concerns here in the local field offices. (and note fax is also available to share those lovely pictures.)

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/contact/offices/displayfieldroster.aspx#PA

Maybe it's time for those that fortunate sides with on a dare changes.

“Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them”

In the latest babble by the East Coast's most notorious Broker Program, errr, I mean rescue.  The Matriarch declares "We have been set up!"  And mentions also that the FBI during that morning raid was playing connect the dots with laser sighted weapons.  Honestly, I didn't think they took Health Certificates that serious, who knew.

For those that dare the voice that can effects similar to that of Medusa.  Feel free to watch it here "Charity" owner speaks out.  I would of personally used the word Charity in a rather loose fashion, that's just me though. 

So, why stop there right?  After all someone has to stop them from going on the truck.  Once again we are back on the mini debate.  Mini's don't ship. Period.  However, that won't stop the Shit Shack from plucking some poor soul's pocket.

That is a extreme margin in price.  A far cry from the normal spread of  25 to 50 dollars that he normally offers private individuals.

If you have a good eye, you shall notice the mini mule team that was once being hawked by the other half of the dynamic duo of the Broker programs.  Would this be considered recycling on a horse dealing level?

Never mind the obvious heat, the foals that were left out in direct sunlight with no access to water, or the normal host of man handling, or how about the horses stuck out on the trailers of the dealers, all of that is ok?  Now which set of haters is effecting change?

Seems to me that those individuals that find themselves doubting a situation are the first to sing the loudest.

Bottoms Up!

Beware of a friend that was once your foe.

I really wanted to write about some concerning issues with the Centre Hall Auction, and the large Memorial Day New Holland sale, and of course, the hustlers of the horse world, and the corrupt individuals allowing them to carry on.  However, we all need to enjoy a laugh now and again.

Someone sent this lovely screen shot to me, and I had to indulge and share.  

Birds of a feather flock together?

Let me say that I admire this Jules woman, she's a no holds bar, tell it how it is, was, and should be type.  Jules, I raise my ice cold pint to you, and say Cheers my dear, keep giving them hell!

As with all things in the truck is coming saga, frienenemies are second to none, and this is simply case in point.  It wasn't too long ago these two chicanery horse dealers were anything but friendly with one another.  

I leave you with this to digest "your friend lends and your enemy ask for payment."

Oh, one last introspection for those that I am sure will be vehement over this entry.  

Tick, toc, tick, toc.  After all that was no social call.

Cheers!

Let Them Eat Cake

Every now again a marionette is subject to having their strings snipped.  As most marionette's manipulate the strings to their puppets, there is a always a audience watching, and always that one pundit in attendance.  

I have to wonder at times the amount of schlemiels that find time to make silly facebook videos, signs, posts, babbling nothing more than shit ton of ludicrous out rage over the heated debate of Broker Programs.  Some of these very individuals should mind just what they put out there into Internet land.  I say this grace, because some do work with the public, and not to mention in the private sector where it truly is all about relationships and representation of oneself as a Representative of a company, and or a authority type of figure.  

In our world it is simplistic, black and white, backed by investigations, FOIA, and hours of dredging threw pens, lots, and even trucks.   As we prepare for the large sale at New Holland Sales Stable, I wonder just how many will truly be paying attention to the ongoings of the surroundings.  Horses tied out with no food or water, the temperature, signs of communicable illness, lameness, BCS, evidence of drugs, over crowded pens, or will they be simply busy justifying the ends to the means.  

With such tumultuous words and insults tossed around, do these people really pay attention to what is going on around them?  Or better yet who is around them?  Who is watching them?  Of course not, because "it's all about the horses".   Or should I say all about the dollars.  

As some step past the obvious violations, and ignore clear disregard for laws put forth, we shall not.  After all you have a job to do, and so do I.  It's formidable that we are on two very different sides, one driven by money, and one driven by compassion.  

After all "to greed, all nature is insufficient."

See you gentlemen Monday.  
Cheers.

The Stalking Horse Bid.

Recently this has appeared on a major social media website.  

Of course the kill buyer is not a bad guy at all.  Despite past quotes such as "if it burned it burned."  in reference to the recent truck fire that left 30 head of horses to perish, and regarding TBs going to slaughter "if they put ten dollars a week to feed the homeless people and mistreated children, you know, this would be a totally different".  Seems as if these quotes don't exactly line up with with what Pro Kill Buyer supporters are saying.  I leave you with this.

A picture taken some time ago outside of what was once the one and only collecting station.  It seems as there is now a additional one.  

you may at this point draw your own conclusion, but I know what side I stand on, and it's not enabling the kill buyers to expand their operation.  I assume it is nothing more than the Devil in the details.

Cheers.

Only a fool tests the water with both feet.

Despite the FBI visiting one such fool, there are still a large quantity of dullards out there willing to take the leap off the edge, and dive right into the cesspool we refer to as broker programs.  It seems the kool aid must be heavily spiked, tainted with the infamous saying coined by the Shit Shack "it's all about the horses."

Mr.Rotz recently suffered a minor blow to business by losing not only his truck and trailer but 30 head of horses all destined up I-81 to their death.  You can read more here at this link about the  truck fire.  While in this article Bruce said they would not be commenting to media, he was quoted in a previous article as saying "if it burned it burned".  This is definitely a guy I would be tossing my dollars at.  Graciously supporting, and selling horses for him, oh I mean saving for.  

In true typical fashion after suffering a slight finical loss, after all not only will he collect a check from the insurance company for the truck and trailer, since it was not salvageable, he will also collect based on the goods in the trailer, live stock or not, they were considered goods, and well when the check is cut, it will also include the loss of goods.  So, not only is good ole' Rotz cleaning up from that, he has not one, but once again two different groups selling for him again.  

One of the groups is proclaiming that the load they are selling was destined to be on that very truck.  They also proclaim that good Ole' Brucey is back to shipping six loads a week, now while on many occasions he has shipped up to five loads a week, so maybe six isn't so far fetched.  However, if  Rotz is back to scoop and ship, why would he be sitting on these horses?  Didn't they come with their "walking papers" Bruce?  Oh or was that the coggins you tossed on them when you purchased them with the intentions of resale? Getting back on point now, if Bruce was going to ship them, they would be long gone, end of story, the only extension Bruce gives is his disgusting wings he likes to eat while at New Holland. 

Everyone wants to fall back on that darn tag again, that green tag.  Sigh.  The tag means nothing.  It means either the horse was not fit for shipping, which in a few pictures I can see that they were not, or it simply means that they were put on the shipping log to cross state lines without a coggins, of course we know that he should be notifying the auction that the intentions have changed, but that is unlikely.  Way to go PA Dept. of Ag. enforce those rules with a limp hand!

If it is the one thing I can say is, well Bruce does have a dealers license, at least a legit one at that, why he isn't charging tax, only he can answer that, maybe his son or someone to the liking will gladly answer that for me.  I am doubtful as we know the level of grammatical indulgence is lower than most standards in the world of flip'em or ship'em. So, there may have to be some deciphering of the sentence.  (I did see the comment made.  "steeling" with all the money these broker programs are bringing in, I would say quite positively that you should be able to afford a dictionary, I don't think it would cut in to the vast amounts of money you spend on fast food.  And why yes, I am over here with a big smile on my face while typing that.)  What can I say I enjoy taking my pot shots at Bruce and Co.

Since he has a new group of women selling his stock for him, I would like to note that they have declared there is no dead line, but borrowed time.  That sentence alone speaks volumes.  They also say this load was left standing and spared from the fire.  That is a great marketing ploy.  A page truly taken right out of the How to Sell Horses for Ignoble Dealers (coming soon to shelves near you, that is if the Shit Shack doesn't copyright it first.).

Cheers.

Advertising - a judicious mixture of flattery and threats.

            

I hear orange is a flattering color, not to mention the silver accents.  Do you hear that?  Is that a clock ticking?  Or some chains clinking?  

                             Despite the recent social call from the FBI, and yet a recent public confirmation from investigators declaring they are under investigation for fraud, AC$H is still hornswoggling the living hell out of people.  I can hear that phone ringing, some people should really answer the call.  

                This afternoon, they made a urgent plea for the sum of 500.00 dollars for a pair of donkeys.  In true form of being a megalomaniac, any comments pointing out any ethical discretion were deleted.  (not to worry, I am sure someone has them saved somewhere)  This was ballsy, but someone has to pay the bills, after all who's going to pay for legal fees?

                    

        

So, they were too thin to run threw sale???  Hmmmmmm.......

But, yet they traveled with a health cert and coggins?  

(I would just like to add that Snuffy looked much, much worse than this.  And not too long ago I did see Dr.Holt pulling a coggins on two NZ bred Standies that had a BCS of 3, and yes they ran threw sale and sold. So, pardon me that her spewing of bullshit doesn't work with me.)

Now, I wonder if they are going or have charged the 80.00 in vetting fees?  And the fifty dollar transport fee, and the fifteen dollar a day holding fee, despite the fact that they had lost their layover barn, and who gets that fifty dollars, Sheidy or Moore? And by the way a coggins is around 20 dollars, and health cert is 17.  You do the math. 

 You know what, don't do the math, just keep blindly donating to some twatwaffle who just got raided by the FBI, who is currently under investigation for fraud, and keep defending her good practices, that rival that of Tee from Lifeline, go on  now toss those dollars out the door!   After all the truck is coming, too bad it's the paddy wagon. 

Cheers!

Knock..knock...who's there?????

                   Well, it finally seems as if that elusive truck has arrived, made a stop, and even picked up some goods along the way.  Sadly, it's not the truck we are so use to hearing about.  Instead it was a convoy of vehicles  from none other than the F.B.I.    Where did they stop?  They stopped right at Christy Sheidy's house, I wonder if she had a "oh shit" moment, when she realized that all the time she shouted the truck was coming, she had the make and model number wrong.  

           I remember once her proclaiming that they were NOT under investigation, hmmmm, well I can assure you that when the F.B.I stops at your home, it's not for tea and crumpets.  I can also say, that when they leave carrying boxes of items, computers, and cell phones,  it is because well you have clearly been under investigation, after all warrants  don't lie, and judge's don't sign off on just a whim.  Unless they were there helping you with your organizational skills, which I wasn't aware that the F.B.I. provided those services.  I will keep that in mind. 

           "Tap. Tap. Tap." Remember that one?  I sure do, I wonder if you regret tapping that foot of yours.  I guess now, it should be tick, tock, tick, tock.  Huh?

            I would like to dully note some rebuttal from the Sheidy Hen House, so let's clear the air right here.  

            "when horses get transported across State lines, yeah it can become a federal investigation"  Well geniuses, in that case I would say that ninety percent of Equestrian Community is then guilty and should be under Federal Investigation.   Oh and yes, it's nothing more than a paragraph from some reporter trying to make news, never mind the pictures of Federal Investigators carrying out boxes of items from that place that rivals a county tip.    For those seeking to read that meaningless paragraph, you know the one where the reporter is just grasping for a bit of fame, here you go FBI Raid.

                Smoke'em while you can, because most penitentiaries are now Non-Smoking facilities.  

                                    

           

The Truck is Coming!

Since the truck is coming, we thought over here in Tornado Land that some pictures that would help you in the quest to determine just what truck is right for you.  

Cheers. 

The Moore Fleet.  

The Rotz Fleet.

(just a partial side note, this is a small sampling of what is to come.  choose wisely, as we know that not all paths lead to that yellow brick road.)

In for a penny, in for a pounding.

                
                                         Sadly, it seems as one of the latest out there in the world of broker programs has lost their mojo, and stepped out of the game.   The old saying "if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" comes to mind.   It could be for other reasons, but I am going to go out on a limb and say this one individual got themselves into a bit of  a conundrum.  However, knowing the history between Rotz and this person, it will just go back to peddling here and there.   Until that time arrives, Rotz is perfectly content with Sundew Saves and Co.  selling his horses.  

                      In all true things of flip'em or ship'em, Rotz is very much still flipping.  After all, why not get a piece of that pie.  Everyone else is doing it, it only makes sense.   Not only has the broker gig paid in full, and left him with surplus, it's allowed him to make moves, ok, well not a real move, but good enough to stash some more horses to keep building that nest egg.  
                   

           How lovely to see Rotz is finally letting people onto his property to evaluate horses, a page truly right from the AC$H handbook, well played Rotz, well played.  In true fashion, the trucks will come, go, and come again, people will keep shelling out for money for inflated priced horses, and then suddenly discover they do not, or cannot keep them.  Reasons will vary, health, lack of training, or the warm feeling just isn't so warm.   By the way, do tell me Bruce, why the coggins on horses that are shipping to slaughter?  You and I both know, and have been in this game long enough to know that a coggins is not needed for a horse bound for slaughter.  Something you want to share?   I mean honestly, Bruce, we both know that you will not go that extra mile for any animal.  Did you finally shut down that horrid kennel of yours?  Would it kill you to clean up some of the junk around your barns, at least you can then pretend that you aren't complete white trash.  Smile, Bruce, because I am giving you the middle finger right now.   Are you going to threaten to kill me, punch me in the face, regardless of what sex I am?  And to be fair, I wouldn't put it past you, as your up bringing speaks volumes on your overall demeanor.  Glad to see you are passing along those most awesome genes.   

                Funny....the truck is coming and there you stand right in front of the loading chute, how classic.   But, these women selling the horses for him, are not in it for the money, they are in it for the cause.  I think I just choked on that line.  Well, darling, take a long hard look at the loading chute, because you are just as responsible for sending horses threw there, as he is.  

          Bruce why do you continue to hide behind horses?  Your son has been very open about being in pictures, it would be lovely to see a nice family shot, maybe you can even get Rotz Sr.  out there too.  

        By the way boys and girls, rumor does have it that a certain Sheriff will be reappearing in town, if I were you, I would clean up your act, as we know that little white haired lady, isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.  Cheers.  

Your intelligence is my common sense.

            There seems to be quite the speculation amongst people about who is behind this blog, and the other blog.  I will tell you.  Are you listening?  Insert drum roll please....................

Common Sense.

There you have it, the anticipation is over.   I am glad we have settled that heated debate.  Now, let's move on to the mover, shakers, and flippers in the "truck is coming saga".  

            Seems as there is a debate about the extra cash that these guys have been making from the broker programs, do they ship more, do they not, do they spend it on skeevy strippers and booze, sharing the spoils with their mistress, or is this all a simple effort to bank money before July rolls around?  It could be one, two or all of the above.  

                  These are nothing more than facetious programs.  I am completely appalled at the number of people that still spend countless monies, and hours defending the lining of the kill buyers pockets.  To me, it's a very simple pragmatic issue, you support broker programs, you support slaughter.   There is no fine line, it's not a weeble wobble, no smoke and mirrors, it's black and white.  End of story.  

               At this time, I don't care if you hide behind a 501c3 (so the kill buyer can make regular donations to your rescue for selling his horses), or if you are nothing more than a "community effort", I will not be reticent on this matter.  

              

           

If you are going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance.

         

                     Last night, I was told that I am walking on thin ice, the title of this blog was my simple response.   If you are going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance.  
                                                           Care to dance?


            Seems as if it's business as usual for all things in the "truck is coming saga".  More horses, more money, and more laughing all the way to the bank.  Horse dealing is the world's oldest putrid profession.  From the Kill Buyers, to the flippers, right down to the brokers  that use the term "rescue"  so flagrantly.  

          What is really the deal with these go betweens?  I mean first and foremost, most of these guys are third and fourth generation horse dealers, not Rotz he was a puppy miller who provided labs with canines to test on.  Harker, Moore, Andio, and the list is long are all horse dealers by trade, and not just Meat Men.   Selling, trading, and running horses not just paying enough of the bills?  Is the absorption in your contracts just not good enough, for you to make a clear profit?  No hang weight is going to pay 925.00 dollars for a carcass, or even 600.00 dollars, hell even on the hoof you won't see that type of money, as there are very specific things they are looking for, high yield of  meat, and low bone.  But, that is another blog.  

         So, boys riddle me this, if the industry is paying you so well, why do it?  Let me take a stab at it, because you couldn't make a living without having that "kill buyer" title could you?  After all with no truck coming,  flipping horses would be left to your own vices, and not the intercessor that you have come to rely on.   

                          There is no secret about the speculation that people are skimming off the top, in fact one brain child behind Sundew Saves, has spoken out very obnoxiously about money being taken off the top.  A far cry from bailing, sharing, and even defending this very program.  While Sundew doesn't proclaim to be a rescue, just a simple community effort to "save" the slaughter bound horses.  (It's more of a community effort to pay one's bills.)   I beg to differ and say, maybe the rumors surrounding poor Bruce losing part of his contract to be true, but I am doubtful.  I think Bruce and Co. have just simply pulled a page right out of the "truck is coming" handbook.     Maybe Bruce isn't over loading that shitty barn of his now, after all having thirty head get out, and make a run for it down the road, can't be good for business, or make neighbors happy.   Well, one thing is for certain, seems as if there is another propagate to take the reins.

                   Oh look, not one horses ass, but apparently two in the same picture.  It's by a clear view that I can say the Esteemed Kill Buyer Bruce Rotz's facial expressions seem to be genetic.  Cheers.
