The Meaning of Rescue Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed, All nicely tucked in my warm new bed. I'd like to open my baggage, lest I forget. There's so much to carry, so much to regret. Yes, there it is, right on the top, Let's unpack loneliness, heartache and loss. And there by my feeder hides fear and shame. As I look on these things I tried hard to leave, I still have to unpack my baggage called pain. I loved them, the others, the one's who left me, But I wasn't good enough, for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage, or help me unpack? Will you look at my things and take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, to never repack? I pray that you do, I'm so tired you see, but I do come with baggage, will you still want me? by Evelyn Colbath Donate today. And, remember, we are a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization.

However, independent analysis utilizing BLMs own statistics and methods of annual population reports, removals and reproductive rates concluded the most likely wild populations still remaining is merely 13,500 wild horses and burros - 20,000 less than BLM reported. http://americanherds.blogspot.com/ Wild Horse & Burro Protection Slaughter News & Updates (click here for more news) Animal Welfare Institute and National Black Farmers Association Launch “Project Wanted Horse” Partnership Disproves Slaughter Industry’s “Unwanted” Horse Theory  read here Just for fun O.C.E.A.N.
