• Yay horsies! Thanks, Capt. BBC slideshow
• ))) for heroic women!!! Why did the animals' owner/s allow this to happen?
• The Dutch Party for the Animals has lodged a complaint with the police against the horses' owner in connection with the deaths of the 19 horses. Indeed.
• Glad a complaint has been lodged - this is an unconscionable way to treat any animal.
• *cough*New Orleans*cough*
• Yay GramMa! (or GramMa-like Dutch women!) Somebody sing us up a cowgirl song! I feels like dancin'!
• Willie Nelson: We have a lot to learn from horses Which I happened to get FPP'd on VeganPorn today.
• Yay Grootmoeders! That owner should be horsewhipped.
• Just when you thought he was finally through doing damage: the horses' owner is John Kerry.
• Nee!

• Gregg from New Caanan is quite a character Yikes, I missed that. Rather horse-friendly isn't he?
• Yeah for the Dutch horses!
• Pity this rescue technique doesn't seem to have worked for fish.
• Fish have to be led back into water. This where we've been falling down, I expect.
• Consarned Newfies gettin' evert'ing bass-ackwards!
• You can lead a fish to water, but you can't make it sink.
• Not true. There is some sort of substance you can rub on the scales of fish that will make them sink. Let me just think for a moment...
• Time's up!
• Chipmunk sweat? No, no. That's not it. It's been a while. I'll get it sooner or later.
• Lead?
• Very small rocks?
• Something that comes out of owls, perchance?

• Muckstuck horse, rescued in due course
• 30 horses saved from slaughterhouse, now resting in Colorado sanctuary Cavel had been the last operating horse slaughterhouse in the country after a separate court ruling recently shut down the only two others, both in Texas. So the supplier contacted the Humane Society after the ruling, which stemmed from a suit filed by the organization against the USDA, said Nancy Perry, the U.S. Humane Society's vice president of government affairs. Perry likened the eventual deal to "negotiating a hostage situation." "I think, he said something like, 'Well, what am I going to do now with these horses?' And I said, 'Well, they deserve to be rescued, and we'd be happy to deal with that,' " Perry said. "We've never heard of this before where horses were in place to be slaughtered inside a plant and found a way to be rescued after that."
