This url shows how
Horses and Cattle are abused
in Rodeo's
They have lots of graphic video's
if you can bear to watch them
Worth watching to help see the suffering

STOP THIS ABUSE

This url is for the humane society of the USA
They deal with a lot of issues
and the whole site is very worth reading
What I wanted to bring to your attention is
"Stopping the Slaughter"
which is at the bottom of the page
and is about the slaughter of American
Horses for the European meat market
http://www.hsus.org/
The video is not for the feint hearted
The subject of the Wild Mustangs being rounded up
every year by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) in the US
is a very serious issue
A lot of the round up horses that aren't adopted are sent to
slaughter for Europe and the mismanagement of
the wild herds can be read here
http://www.wildhorsepreservation.com/resources/study.html
*******
Another page shows a round up
(disturbing pictures)
http://www.wildhorsepreservation.com/resources/roundup.htm
*******
And yet another shows the disasters of what the BLM
calls a 'humane' roundup
(there are some quite disturbing pictures here!)

This is the URL for
'PETA'
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
http://www.peta.org/
There are some very harrowing video's
but things that need to be seen and stopped
A heart rendering video narrated
by Alec Baldwin is hard to watch
but just shows some of the
horrors intensive farm animals
have to endure at the hands of humans
http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=mym
A hard to watch video narrated
by Heather Mills-McCartney
on the hellish fur industry in China
really makes you think twice about
supporting this industry
http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=heather_mills_fur&Player=wm&speed=_med
and lots of other awful experiences
of animals worldwide
Please can we try to spread the word to
get better conditions for animals
more humane treatement
or better still
