- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- Hello everyone! We were able to intercept an additional 21 horses, donkeys, and mule from auction and entering the slaughter pipeline yesterday. We're going to try something new and begin including debrief videos, where our veterinarians join Tawnee in breaking down the medical information on each equine we receive on our Buy Out rescue missions. Let us know what you think in the comments!
We rescue horses of all species, ages, training levels and colors. No animal is ever turned away at our Open Admission Shelter!

I have never understood why there was so much negativity online pertaining to the amount of horses euthanised, or how it isn't rescue, or that horses aren't being saved. Horses **are** being saved -- from suffering. Even if their final resting place is 1 minute after and 10 feet away from stepping off the trailer... they are being saved from days or weeks or even months of unnecessary agony and senseless suffering. Just because their deaths were seemingly inevitable, doesn't mean it had to be delayed, or that Horse Plus shouldn't have intercepted a crueler fate.
The buyout program does save lives. Even if it's only for a few moments to know a kind hand and a soft voice.
I think the viewers who are critical of the amount of horses being euthanized have to remember all the horses rescued are throwaway horses. Its previous owner, rather than making the right and ethical decision for their broken, damaged horse, they throw it away. Maybe they think someone else will be able to fix it, and if not, then someone else will do what they wouldn’t or couldn’t do and euthanize it. So, when you consider the awful condition so many of those horses arrive at Horse Plus in, you realize they save a lot of those broken horses. And, as Tawnee says, they do what the owner should’ve done, and give the last act of kindness. In the end, like @bridgetveralidaine3761 said, all the horses are saved.
@@Hawkeyeis35They get horses with dangling legs, broken hips, diseases, cancer, hit by cars etc. I always wonder why people would think they put down so many for "no reason" when the "quality" of the horses they get are extremely bad at times. Like the types of abused and broken horses they get should be studied.
And another thing these people seem to forget that while your getting mad at horseplus for doing what they need to remember these animals are only put in these positions because of their owners not doing what's right. Whether that's actually rehoming the animal, the last act of kindness, etc. Save that energy for them and not horseplus.
Just adding to say that there are fates worse than death.
Anyone faulting Horse Plus for euthanasia decisions are unable to objectively view and accept that reality, and don't understand just how overwhelming and awful the state of livestock auctions are.
I used to go to these auctions with a few friends, and we would go to the back of the facility, where they kept the animals deemed "unfit for sale" (it's astounding that these souls are unfit for sale, but not unfit to ship to the next auction or slaughter with active fractures, pneumonia, cancerous growths, open festering wounds, or debilitating lameness) and we would pay to have a vet humanely euthanize so they didn't have to be suffering tied to a fence or crammed in a pen all day. Most rescues are at maximum capacity, in debt, and short staffed, and yet still, in the handful of people that were privy to what we were doing, had a problem -- some still were outraged that we bought the horses to end their suffering instead of trying to "fix" them and their catastrophic problems.
I also must include that I've worked in rescue and had a big lick castaway (registered as High Voltage Godiva) that I quarantined directly out of auctioned and then fostered, then adopted, knowing full well her time was likely to be short due to genetics, some defects in her stifles, laxity in joints, muscle atrophy on right HQ. She was a companion-only, but holy heckin' sweet mare. At just 5 years old, she had been through multiple auctions and was extremely sick with a URI. Ran a high fever for nearly 2 weeks and the thick discharge out of her eyes and nose took a month to clear up.
We did every diagnostic scan and test to see what the cause was of the hind end muscle atrophy. Internal pelvic ultrasound, x rays, had lameness specialists from Tufts out and while no fractures were found, either through poor breeding or training or a combination of both, her stifle joints were deformed, the right one unable to achieve a "locked" position, causing painful instability.
We did get her comfortable (not sound, but good quality of life) with a myriad of treatment options and she even enjoyed running and playing and walks in a big field for 6 years.
At 11 years old, she started having difficulty getting up after laying down. Trouble starting to walk after standing still (she would have to rock her weight back and forth a few times to get the momentum needed to haul herself forward),she was getting progressively frustrated and I witnessed her fall twice in which she needed assistance to stand, and the decision was made that her quality of life had plunged below dubious and reached "poor". We were approaching winter and the fall risk increased with the snow and ice of New England. If she had fallen when I wasn't home, or in the middle of the night, and was unable to get back up on her own, it likely would have been a slow, torturous, agonizing wait for help with potential for serious injury or death.
She had good days, but they didn't outnumber her bad ones. The brutality of northeast winter held off until moments after she was gone, and we got a layer of sheer, slippery thick ice. Some people could not grasp why I chose to put that wonderful mare to sleep when she was still eating, drinking, happily seeking attention and affection from anyone that walked by (she especially **adored** children and would mother them and lick them from head to toe, standing over them protectively, or patiently waiting as they covered her in flowers and glitter and dressed her in ridiculous costumes. She would wait at the top of the paddock by the road for the school bus every day). And the reason is because she deserved a good life, and that good life no longer existed. She had crested over into unstoppable decline and there were no more surgeries (it was discussed - if there were options to get her to a facility with an Anderson sling and let an orthopedic surgeon try some wild ideas, but horses, for as big as they are, are so fragile). It became my responsibility to stop her steady descent with the only means available.... and that was to release her from her broken and malfunctioning body.
It is hard to explain to people who haven't been confronted first-hand with situations like that.
It Is All About EMPATHY. Thankful there are people who have empathy for any and all animals and willing to put it on video for their own social judgement instead hiding in the shadows like the people that put these animals in the situation to begin with.
@@bridgetveralidaine3761 exactly!
There is no justification needed, I think most people know that you do do the absolute best thing for these animals, even if it means the last act of kindness. As a debrief I think just a quick overview of each new arrival is all that is needed.
Absolutely.
I would say especially the last act of kindness. As hard emotionally as it is to see these broken legs etc., oh my god thank god for the last act. And I think this is a good idea. So I will bear witness to you, and hold space for your hearts.
Debriefings are helpful. Information is what gives people vocabulary for advocacy. It helps to raise awarenes to a level closer to that of the veterinarians. Without information, the public cannot understand that horses reach such levels of illness and poor condition. It’s not ok to use an animal up-push, push, push until there is nothing left, or neglect reel, hooves and nutrition. It’s just not ok.
This is excellent for the Vets and staff. But the Vets and staff have a chance to debrief privately for their mental health. This great for us and I am grateful that you do for all the hard and heart wrenching work you do. The Vets & staff need to down load what hurts . Perhaps a Therapist visits on your be added to your to your donation list for individual and or a group sessions.
I am a person who support humans going thru difficult life changes supports, so I am coming from a needs assessment perspective.
Just a Thought❤
I hate to ask, but Pony tail rescue don’t seem to ever give the last act of kindness , I thought they were a full circle place? I see horses that pretty obviously need the lat act of kindness, that do not get it???? Sorry, but it’s really been on my mind.
No justification needed.
Emotional vet team means you care, if you don't care and show emotions your in the wrong job. well done everyone and thank you for being a advocate for the animals.
I totally agree & totally understand.
❤ Truth.
Perfectly Stated.
Thankyou.
Huge opportunity for any aspiring vet students to compile & publish these donkey records.
Agreed! Maybe their experience will lead to a cure.
Also. You may want to reach out to Mark Meyers of Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue. They've dealt with thousands upon thousands of traumatized and stressed rescue donkeys and I'm sure have accumulated lots of data over the years. As a donkey advocacy group, they are always looking to figure out and educate on the unique needs of this species.
Also 4H project
Dr Gina and Dr Lydia, I trust your expertise. You don’t need to question yourselves. I know you only have the animals’ best interests at heart. I like the debrief.
Something I had to learn in rescue is that you CAN NOT SAVE THEM ALL but the one you DO SAVE - their world is changed forever! If an animal needs a peaceful end, so be it, because its BEST for that animal, its not a decision made with a toss of a coin - Bless you all there and hugs when its needed!
A-MEN & AMEN ❤
Life long horse owner with very aged horses. This is so informative. Please do this at least once a month. Vet care has gotten SO EXPENSIVE. We need this information so we can also make the best decision about our own horses. THANK YOU!
I watch everything! I cry along with you all with these animals that are so far gone the only thing is to give them the last act of kindness. The ones that you think there is a chance to fix them are the positives even though sometimes the treatments that you try don't always work. I think I have a great understanding of what you all are doing whether buyouts or surrenders, I know that you are ALWAYS doing what is right for the animals. Keep up the good wor ck and I don't want your time to be used to update us fans on everything, I know if we have to wait, it is because you are so involved in helping all that you can. I do worry that these huge buyouts are going to affect you all and send you all into burn out. Do what you can but please don't over burden yourselves as you are so important all of you.
Well said with you 100% I love watching these guys work through buy outs I would be very happy to watch from sart to finish.
I love hearing about the horses conditions and diagnosis. Thank you for explaining the thought processes behind your decisions
This is very cozy. Please continue with this "VET CORNER"! Thanks!!
The public needs to hear this, great debrief!
You always act right. NO DOUBT
A debriefing video like this is a great idea. It gives everyone a chance to collect the information and sit down in a calm environment to talk about things that are often very unpleasant. The day of intake when there are likely a fair number of horses needing the last act of kindness is rough on everyone. It's amazing we get the footage we do. I'd have trouble staying behind a camera instead of jumping in to help. Anyone paying attention to the intake videos can see when it's been a rough one. It's not really fair to expect a lot of info updates when staff are trying to hold back tears from seeing what they often see. We only see a small percentage of that. I'm never forgetting watching that poor donkey trying to walk on the leg with multiple fractures. At the same time there are also times when you get a save where a horse would have been euthanized if they'd gone anywhere else. (more healing energy to Sapphire). I very much appreciated the post after the last one with photos and names for all the horses including the ones that needed the last act of kindness. I hope you continue to do that if time allows.
I couldn't agree with you more.😊
I agree it is a balancing act. They need to get information to donors, but the staff are people with feelings too. I think we who are not on front lines of rescue need to have some compassion for the ones who do the work.
I agree the debriefing video was interesting and in a perfect world. It would be nice to see more but I would not like to see it prioritised over the vets other more important work. The vets have so much work to do and I would hate to see them stressed with more work with a debriefing video on top.❤❤❤🙌🏻
@@rosemarygraham2815 Totally agree! The mission comes first!
This is a great idea! I'd love to see this feature more often.
A really great idea. Hopefully you will be able to keep this plan going if you have the time. Thank you
Thank you for getting the buy out option news out to the truckers. You say it's not enough but you are making a bigger dent in the pipeline. They don't have to suffer the hot, treacherous waterless trip to Mexico. It is a pleasure to watch HPH grow and become a force for the good of all the animals that reach your fields, and for the lobby to end slaughter. I enjoy all the ways you get the reports out to your supporters.
So glad you got that ultrasound machine too!
This is great. Helps to understand what is happening
I’m so glad you talked some about the donkey respiratory illness.
I had just commented on another video suggesting you try working with a university or pharmaceutical company to see if you could get more information on it. At the least you would be a good source for samples. Having vets on staff would help insure the samples are taken properly.
This sort video is good because it is so important for transparency and it helps people be invested in the animals.
People support what they care about. Getting the animals’ stories and struggles helps build that connection.
Hopefully people will donate or fall in love with a new friend.
I , unfortunately, am not in a position to donate but I try to support HPHS by spreading awareness of your good works and promoting your videos.
I agree about partnering with a research facility to provide samples and get feed back. They may also be able to provided anti-viral medication for you to try and private them with results. I would not go with a pharmaceutucal company as they will limits the medication to their company produce. Maybe this might be a great research project for your local veterinary college. You might be able to get samples from the various drug companies to do your own experiment. You guys are pretty busy so I am not sure how you could factor this into your routine other than intake days. Just a few ideas from several I have on this issue.
@@P2Zip Maybe the senior vet students could come on intake days to do the research with the animals pulled aside for such a program.
Hello, retired Equine Care Specialist. From Vermont now in Georgia
As someone who works in human healthcare I think doing a debrief like this is a great idea! Good for you and us to contextualise and process these intakes.
I would like it if you put up a photo of the animal you are talking about when you talk about them to make it easier for us to remember who is who.
So appreciate you all being willing to talk about this issue which must be very emotionally challenging for you all at times.
Thank you for all you do.
LOVE that idea!
Incredible team of vets and helpers. So caring!
You always do the right thing.
This is very informative! Please keep going with this type of platform!
You guys are absolutely amazing! You are so caring and do the best you can do for these guys. Please keep up with this format at least once a month.
It blows my mind the sheer number of horses there are. Even if you take away those bred for racing, competition, agriculture and the mustangs there are still thousands being bred in farms and backyards. Cattle are bred in the millions but they generally have a purpose. These other horses are needing a home/purpose. The biggest problem is not that they are not wanted but finding homes where they are going to be given the space, grazing, feed and veteranarian availability. It's not like providing a home for a cat.
These people are doing an impossible job under impossible circumstances and they deserve our love, gratitude, support and respect. ❤🐎
I love this debriefing. Such a great idea to help us keep track of all these sweet babies. Thank you❤
I appreciate the debriefing so much! I know it takes time away from all of your jam-packed work schedules, so thank you so much for clearing a space in your day for this!
Love you all. You are the good guys. I don't understand how anyone can allow such abuse and just no compassion for these poor animal's and then they stick the poor things on a trailer to have their life's end in fear and pain. It is just sickening. There is something wrong with people who are so heartless. Thank God for all of you for all you do to help these poor animals. ❤❤❤ I give you so much credit. You all show up to work everyday despite the sadness you must feel sometimes. You are all angles 😊
Your job on buyout day is like working in the trauma centre on a new year's holiday. You do the best you can with what comes in. I have great respect for all of you. I think these debriefing videos are therapeutic to you and helps viewers understand why so many are given the last act of kindness. It'll also shut down the negative comments from those spreading rumours. You all give these wonderful animals everything you have. I would be happy to see these videos continue. Thank you for all you do. Anybody who's done rescue for any length of time knows how hard it is both physically and mentally.
Enjoying learning about the process and keep up the good work.
Please, just know that what you are doing does make a difference for every animal. They always find that they are loved in their new environment even if only for their last moments. My prayers are with you for strength and peace of mind knowing you are doing your best.
Love you guys for what you do and many blessings💖🙏
I find your sharing a debriefing video is a great idea. It seems you’re saving more animals out of slaughter with buyouts than by auction. Maybe being kicked out of auction helped you save more animals.
That was my thought when they first started with the buyout program. Less "wasted" time at the auction (bidding, gathering and transporting them back to HPHS) and then evaluating them thus, more horses saved. It has also allowed Tawnee to go to Congress to help change the horse safety laws. All in all, I think it was a HUGE blessing for HPHS and the animals they save (even if it's the last act of kindness).
Dr Lydia, you are so right! Need help figuring out what is going on with these poor donkeys!
Please do more of these, who cares about time when your audience is interested and hanging on every word, 45 minutes is a good time.
DVM Gina and DVM Lydia are the Yin & Yang to each other. I love how they don't dumb down the scientific taxonomy behind the pathologies, they're two incredibly accomplished individuals.
Your intake videos are very emotional traumatizing. I watch them all because no matter how heartbreaking they still make me feel uplifted by your love kindness and professionalism. This video is perfect for understanding the intake process and results for each animal.
I love this debriefing! It is so interesting and really dives into the care you all take on each horse that gets missed. Thank You so much for all that you do for the animals and all that you do for us in keeping us informed and feeling the love as we all give love to you and them. Brenda
You are so amazing the strength mentally and physically is so draining
I appreciate you guys making the difference in this cruel world we live in
This has inspired me to join your members monthly donation. Thank you lovely caring people.
I LOVE this even though the precious individuals are just numbers at this point, but by the end of the week they will be know BY NAME!!! I SO love this organization!!!
I love this vet team and the assistants. All three of you women are incredible roll models for girls that watch these videos. Tawnee and Dr Lydia and Dr Gina show girls how they can be compassionate and intelligent and driven by their ideals. That success isn't measured just by personal gain but what help you can provide others. That women can make a huge difference in the world.
(Disclaimer, men of course can and should be inspired by you all and men like Kory and Jason.)
Tawnees idea of having a photo of each horse or donkey as you describe their condition is wonderful. Because we are not familiar with all of them as you are. Besides - who doesnt love looking at horse pictures 😌❤ Thank you for taking time to update us.😊
There are donkey rescues in the UK that also see these weird lung cases. They are just now starting to study it.
I always love hearing about animal health issues. While not seeing the accompanying video makes it not as immediate, having you guys go over a few cases, or all cases, is great. I wish we could get adoption updates sometimes too, but I know that is up to the owners.
Thanks for taking the time to go over these ❤
I think debriefings will especially help those who have limited experience in vet and rescue work better understand there is a thoughtful process of decisions. For me who is experienced and understand the decision making process, the explanations are interesting. The big take away I have is that you are going after what the disease is that is affecting the donkeys. I have often thought that if no one knows then someone needs to take this on and find out. Have you cultured any lungs on necropsy? I would suggest a sensitivity test if it turns out to be bacterial. As a wildlife rehabber, we had no luck to save cat caught song birds until someone figured out what bacteria was. Come to find out it was multiple bacterias and with the speed of metabolism of birds, we soon learned the way to save them was by administering IV Amikacin SID for 3 days, within a 6 hour window of being cat caught. Then, and only then did we start seeing success. I'm suspecting you will have something like this for the donkeys and hopefully it will be something you can administer treatment for, prophylactically, before symptoms are observed, like we did the birds.
Great idea, however with the limited staff and the increased number of equines being present at the buyout, it's probably not feasible.
My thought is to have some of the local senior vet students come out on buy out days to do that sort of collecting of data. It would be a win/win situation with the students learning in the field and then discovering the cause of the deadly donkey respiratory illness.
God bless you wonderful people forever
I love you
All I can say is BRAVO ladies, this was very informational and much appreciated...THANK YOU...!!!
I like watching the intakes live. I love the way everyone is there to take care of some bad off horses and other animals. Always making very hard decisions. God Bless you all.
I think this will be in addition to the buyout...
Would love more of these
Yes this video is great. Lets us feel more about your world and how hard it is. Yes a picture of each horse as you talk about them would be great.
Your whole team is awesome. Love you all.
I absolutely love the vets at Horse Plus! Well I love the whole staff! Y’all are amazing! ❤
I would definitely be interested in watching regular intake debriefings. For me personally, I would super super appreciate a photo of the horse/ donkey Drs Gina and Lydia are describing 😊
War front line... That sounds about right. As I watch, I keep hoping at least 1 can be saved but the reality is, by the time you get them, they're in such bad shape...😢 Sometimes I'm just like, let them go now. Don't even do any more diagnostics. They're suffering so much. My heart is with you and all the tough decisions you have to make. ❤
I like this idea of a debrief to help us to follow the horses. Thanks for continually trying to improve the connection and communication.
Thank you for beeing amazing! You make the World a better Place!
Very much appreciate the in-depth education of terms and conditions including why rescuing is so important and all that is involved. Thank you.
❤ debriefing is a great idea. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it goin! ❤
Thank you for being brave enough to free the souls that are trapped in a broken body❤❤❤
Love the debriefing and would love to see visuals of each horse as you talk!❤️
I just can’t believe how people treat these animals. Keep up the work you guys. You got this. You guys are doing amazing Job .
What you do needs to be done and this debrief is exactly what we need.
Would be helpful to have a picture or video of the horses you are discussing. I like this forum.
Thankyou Tawnee, Dr Lydia and Dr Gina, loving the new debrief it helps us all to understand a bit better what is happening so please more de briefs in the future when you are able to. Thankyou also for saving another 21 precious lives x
Think this is great idea!
I liked the debriefing . Very interesting and heartbreaking. Thank you for your important work.
The buyout debriefings are a big hit, in my opinion. Please do more in the future.
So interesting pls do again
It helps me know how to pray for you all and the animals! Thank you
And God bless you each one!!!💖💖💖
Thank you guys for all ur time and heart u put into this rescue. It has become a different ripe of rescue but one most needed to stop suffering. What y’all endure on a regular bases most could not do. And don’t do. I so greatfull u r helping these horses and greatfull the message to b a responsible horesowner ids getting out there about there end time and what is the right way to handle it. I pray yall continue to find strength to keep up the great work. Thanku for being u and for doing what yall do. 🐾❤️🐴
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to inform us. Y’all really opened my eyes regarding how bad the Amish treat their horses (I had thought they took good care of them)…so heartbreaking how ignorant folks take care of animals. Heavenly Father’s blessings to y’all. 🕊
They are Amish who treat their animals well and others that are purely exploitive. No community is monolithic.
@@HorseLady1109 AGREE !00%
Thank you. ❤ Awesome care given to these beautiful animals. Heartbreaking breaking decisions. We also feel your pain. Lots of ❤️ to all involved donors and rescuers. 😊
This was very informative especially after seeing the horses come through. I love having a debrief on the animals. It’s nice knowing what happened to them. What you do for these horses is amazing. Thank you all for caring.❤️🐴🤗
love it
So tough to be the ER Doctor and at the same time, the hospice care giver. I have the greatest respect for what you are able to put your head and hearts through and then come back tomorrow and do it all again.
The debrief is a fantastic idea. Would love to see more in the future. Thank you guys 💚
Excellent addition to the program and our education. Well done.
The debrief is informative but I often pick up some of this information on the intake when the vets examine them. Nice to have the detail on all.
The Debriefing was great
If possible a photo up in the corner or somewhere would be such a way to know each described individual as a soul and not just a number. Love what you do. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love Dr Gina and Lydia! I love the debriefing . I’m a retired vet tech and am happy you all are doing this. I hope you continue to do these debriefings. Thank You for taking the time 😊
I love the full debrief, it gives a clearer picture of how yall are helping each animal.
You all are a God sent for what you all do God Bless you for your hard work
Thank you for sharing this detailed debrief. It’s been very informative, and more importantly, I think it’s a good way to make sure that these horses suffering is shared and remembered. People sell their horses at auction and do not have to watch the consequences, but the world should know. And hearing each horse’s story is so much more impactful than hearing the numbers. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Enjoyed this information. Dr. Lydia is always able to explain in easy to understand terms. Thankyou
Loved this. Thank you for what you do.
You use the term intake,but it's more like triage. It's like MASH in a war zone. Doing good work, keep it up! ❤
🎯
❤❤❤
Greatly illuminating conversations that serve to deepen my appreciation for the amount of issues that your wonderful vets and staff are forced to face and address under incredibly stressful conditions when dealing with buy outs. Sorry, that was a long sentence. The sheer numbers are overwhelming. I love what Dr. Lydia said: Age is a number, not a disease.💗 Thank you!
I am perfectly fine with just watching the intake itself. I understand very well that not all of these animals will make it and I'm just glad that those who can make it are doing so because of your help. If a horse is suffering and can't be helped its suffering should be ended.
I love information on the horses! Please keep doing these videos. Adoptions are so awesome, and made possible by your amazing veterinarians! Your organization is doing gods work. Thank you for putting your hearts and feelings out there and continuing to do what you do anyway. ❤
Great idea with the tv behind yourselves showing the horses.
I watch and appreciate all of the videos horse plus puts out and if you continue these I will watch them all. Love to see the horses go through intake and then get released into the pastures ❤
You are proving shelter in the more pure sense to the animals. Even when they need the last act of kindness they receive shelter from the pain for a little while. And as someone with a chronic illness that's such a huge thing. They pass in a gentle dignified way and they're sedated and that's massive. Thank you for everything you do. I know the cost to yourselves is high. But these animals need you because there is no one else looking out for them. Be kind to yourselves. You deserve it.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I feel, all of these beings, ie. horses, donkeys, puppies, kittens, etc... that are in your trust, are thankful for everything you do, from saving them, to treating their wounds, to the last act of kindness. We, in YT land are blessed for the way you are educating us to these horrors and showing us, that there is a definite better way to treat these animals, to be humane. Even when your team is having a rough day, you show us the love and respect to your team. So again, thank you, thank you, thank you💕
I know there is a connection with each horse you rescue.....I so appreciate you guys allowing your followers to name the horses and donkeys and I can tell you from experience, that when you choose the two names over the past three months for the animals that came through intake, I as a follower, have an instant connection to them even though I am three states away!!! 🥰🥰
I found this very interesting even with no photos of the animals you were discussing. I hope you can continue to offer this type of report.
Thank you so much for doing this debrief!! I really enjoyed it!
I don't need to have this briefing. I trust what your org is doing, I commend all of you. Thank you so much for your humane loving service helping animals ❤️
All of you are so Amazing &
we love & Appreciate every
thing that you do for these
incredible horses!!! 💓🐴
Thumbs up on debrief. I really like you pushing the idea that vets and science look into what is going on with the donkys. This is horrible, fatal and not even named! You ladies are awesome❤❤❤
It's not named yet because it's so new.
Really liked the debrief 👍👍
While I love the transparency aspect of this debriefing, I can't imagine the emotional toll it may take in replaying all the hard decisions and sad conditions y'all have to see everyday. If it helps you to talk about it, I'm here for it, but at the end of the day, y'all should protect your mental health and energy as best you can. If that means not telling us, that's OK. ❤❤
Yes please give us more of what you do. I look forward each month to your buy out program. I know I would have a hard time doing what you do. I have had to make the call to end suffering not just with my horses but also with my dogs and cats. I have severe chronic pain so I empathize with their suffering. What you do for these animals is wonderful and it is great to see the ones you can save go on to happy fulfilling lives. So virtual hugs to all of you for what you do!❤❤❤
