    My heart breaks for that beautiful TWH stallion. Honestly for being so proud of their state breed Tennessee does them wrong. The state needs to outlaw Big Lick because they've been given the chance to fix their inhumane practices but have not and continue to lie about the abuse. Keep up the fight. Thank you for being the voice and advocate for all abused and neglected horses.

      I live in Tennessee. I'm not originally from here. I told someone who has a former Big Lick horse that I want to go protest with HPHS. They warned me that I need to be careful and it would be unsafe for me as there are people in my area that raise horses for this gruesome torturous activity. What would happen to me or my horses was left I said. Scary stuff really. Her Big Lick horse is permanently damaged both physically and mentally. Though I have horses, I didn't dare get in the pasture with this poor boy. I don't blame him for being the way he is. So sad.

That poor horse suffered so many indignities in his short life and in the end he was still beautiful. When he turned and looked at the camera he knew he was safe. Its such a shame that he never knew what it was like to be a horse that was loved and respected. Thank you for easing his pain and sending him to greener pastures. The horses running in the pasture at the end of the video and grazing helped ease the pain in my heart.

    A 7 year old has absolutely no business being in that horrible state. He was in so much pain and still did what he was asked. When I saw him limping onto the trailer, it was pretty clear he won't make it. His body was so broken... At 7 years old! He could've had 20 more years easily, if he hadn't ended up in the Big Lick industry. And what do these monsters do after he's broken and useless? Force a horse, that can't even stand for longer than a minute, to go through an auction. How messed up do you have to be in your head to think that's a good idea? You want the slaughter price at least? Dude, that horse won't even make it to the slaughterhouse, at least have the balls to end its suffering. I'm so freaking mad. 😡

      on another intake video a while ago, one horse in horrible shape had tawnee looking up legal guidelines and found out, by law, an animal going to slaughter basically just has to be able to walk. like, first off, how disturbing is that? who came up with that sick metric of well-being? and second, i'm not sure that's even a standard that's always met.
      it blows my mind that any of these animals even try for people when they're asked to do something. it makes me sick to see an animal so badly abused and neglected trying so hard to get up, walk or get in a trailer just because they're asked.

    • @kennikitty
      @kennikitty Рік тому +4

      @@mamamiabenjamia Yeah, that's ridiculous. And this Big Lick horse shows just how far this absurdly low guidelines are being stretched. I mean, horse clearly couldn't even stand, but was somehow able to move a couple of meters from point a to point b - apparently therefore it can "walk" and can be sold at an auction. I think we all agree this horse could barely move or stand, therefore could NOT walk and was NOT fit to go through an auction. There needs to be more than these laughable guidelines and it needs to be controlled properly with actual punishment for breaking them.

    The TWH was so very sad. If his bowel had dropped into his scrotum it was highly possible he had a strangulated bowel. Along with other physical ailments. It was very kind to give him the last act of kindness instead of him suffering longer or possibly being loaded on a slaughter truck and stepped on by the other horses. The prior owners needed to take into account that they might have to have enough dollars to get proper treatment for him. A great sadness
    My eyes run water for the horses taken to auction, especially in rough condition.

    Yes, intake I am sure was not easy today - but you are all such a great team, so gentle and loving, with your hearts there for the horses.
    I also love to see the horses let out into pasture, just being allowed to be a horse again with food, water and the best care and attention possible. I hope they feel that they are saved, free of maltreatment starvation and all the terrible things having happened to them. I hope they can convalesce, learn to trust people once again and that they all find when the time is right, loving forever homes.

    Oh that poor stallion! Big Lick should be ashamed of the abuse they put on those horses!! 😢 it was wonder seeing the ones out in the pasture, they looked so happy! I was especially glad to see the one who had been kicked so many times! ❤ God bless you all for your wonderful work!

    Oh Tawnee, you look so exhausted! I know this is sad but I have to say I'm angry! How is it these people are not punished and put in prison? What has happened to humanity? All you guys are angels for the work you do. Bless all your hearts for all you have done. Seeing the horses at the end in fields of grass, at least gave me a smile! ❤💙💚💛💜

    I couldn’t help it. I just balled hard when I was all these horses especially the horse that was laying down. My heart bleeds for these poor babies, but they are blessed that they have come your way, and have a chance at a great life thank y’all so much for saving these precious animals. I’m sorry but people that have missed treated. These horses should be put under the jail for life that I know the laws aren’t strict enough and they end up an auction and lost but my favorite rescue you have saved them.

    A very hard watch ..as auction updates are because we see these gorgeous animal's in pain or nearly starved to death..crippled by overwork or bad practices. Those 3 are at peace now running through the grass in heaven..I too love seeing them in the pasture for the first time..if you watch next time I'm sure you will see what I do which is an audible breath as if to say we can now relax. Seeing them start eating the grass still half in the truck tells you when the last time they had access to anything to eat .Bless you for what you do..I know I couldn't..that poor horse with the bent leg..broke my heart..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏👍👏🐎🇺🇸

    I was watching your latest video as I usually do and had to hop on here, just had to say THANK YOU for rescuing that beautiful black horse that was abused by that horrible torture of "Big Lick" that some people might call a "sport." SICK. I can't tell you how grateful I am to know that he wasn't exposed to continued torture and cruelty on the way to a slaughter house. Absolute evil. I'm so glad to know that he took his last breath with kind, caring people in peace. God bless all of you and the good you do for everyone, 4 and 2 legged alike.

      The governor can not do it without the legislature putting it into a bill for the Governor to sign. It must be put into law through the state house and senate just like in the federal government. I was raised and got my first look at the rank abuse these horses go though when I apprenticed to train horses while I was in high school. The trainer told me that I needed to carry a whip in my hand all the time and pop the horses with it so they would know I was "boss." He and I got into some pretty intense fights about the abuse. I trained horses for many years and kept telling everyone that abuse will create one of two things, a badly injured horse or a horse that turns bad, abuse never is the correct way to do anything. They do it for money and what they think is esteem, but what it is mainly is greed and evilness against Gods creatures. They cut the tail tendons which is cruel, they sore the pasterns which is cruel, they build up those stacks and put heavy weights on their feet and if you watch how they throw their front feet sideways when they are moving you can tell they are in pain, it is not natural, it is not right, but until legislatures get tired of hearing people yelling about the abuse, they will do nothing, and I do not doubt that some in politics are either paid off by the big breeders or they have horses in the show rings doing the big lick themselves. Thank God it is not as rampant as it was when I was growing up, but any is too much. When I was growing up, the shows were more frequent, a lot bigger and full of spectators. The trainer came to my house one day when I was riding my TWH bareback, just a halter rope for reins and the first thing out of his mouth was "You are riding like a damn Indian." The first response i gave back was "Well since I am mainly Cherokee, I am Indian and I will train my horses the way I know is best for them, with love and kindness, as I get far more out of my horses than you do all of yours combined in your big fancy barn. When they are treated with love, and attention, they will bust their hearts for you and just keep giving. Yes they have to learn manners but no one needs to be abusive or cruel to teach them how to be mannerly. I hate that these horses go through such evil treatment, but TWH are not the only ones being abused for showing and making money, race horses are not even given time for their knees to mature before they are being run to death, saddlebreds are stacked and chained also, on all four feet, the stacks are just not as high or much, but the shoes have weights also. You do not want to get me started about the abuse of Arabians, especially the stallions to make then act like airhead, they are a naturally spirited horse but love socialization, love people, but if treated wrong, they go bad fast, then end up getting hurt because they were abused and become violent back. I love all horses, but Arabians are my forte, they have the eyes of eagles, the touch of the Lord on them, and can either be your best friend when treated right or your worst enemy when treated wrongly. They are highly intelligent and very willing when treated with respect and love. Did not mean to write an epistle, but animal cruelty makes my Cherokee blood boil and if I could stop it, without going to jail, I would. I have taken whips away from so called trainers at shows for abusing a horse and told them point blank if I saw them hit that horse again, I would willingly and freely use that same whip on them and then report them for abuse. I guess you could say that quite a few did not like seeing me showing my Arabians because not only did they know that my horses performed because they wanted to please me, and did extremely well in the show right without all the extra crap they used, but they also knew if i saw them abusing a horse I would be all over them like a duck on a june bug. There is a special place in h..l for those that abuse Gods creatures. So if they do not get punished here on earth, they will definitely answer to the Lord one day and it is not going to be pretty for them.

      @@elizabethmcfarland8507 Thank you for posting and God Bless you for taking a stand! I have a TWH and he is my heart horse! Thank God he was never a show horse, but he did go through at least 8 owners before I bought him almost 10 yrs. ago. We have sure come a long way with many trust issues, but he trusts me and he will be with me the rest of his life! He's 23 now and still going strong! Take care!

    I don't have horses. I don't ride horses. I don't follow horse sports. That said, the sad, sweet, innocent faces of those horses Tawnee filmed as she walked past them in their pens at the beginning of this video made me want to adopt ALL of them and heal their wounds. They reminded me of LIFE magazine B&W photos taken of refugee children looking out at the photographer taking their pictures, through barbed-wire fencing that surrounded the camps they were kept in after WWII.

    These people that are saying you put horses down too quickly are just as bad as the people that left them in horrible conditions.
    How could you even fathom not putting that poor mule or the twh stud down??
    They were in pain and were suffering, could it have been possible to spend thousands upon thousands to"fix" their issues?
    Maybe but at what quality of life, it just wouldn't be worth it. The last act of kindness isnt a decision made lightly folks.

    Your day-after auction intake videos are my favorites. I was relieved to see the horses turned out to a lovely green pasture after witnessing how they wanted to stay and graze on the tiny patch of grass directly where they exited the trailer, causing a traffic jam. Those poor horses didn't want to leave that small patch of green heaven, as some of them hadn't eaten for a long time. That beautiful dark gelding with 4 white socks trotted confidently around the pasture. For a bunch of old horses, they moved quickly when released into their new home to enjoy life again. I couldn't help but wonder when any of them were in a place where they were free to graze at will and eat as much as they wanted. They are all beautiful!

    Hi Tawnee & crew. A sad decision, but the correct one with the dark bay horse. So sad that he was only 7 years old, however the decision you and the vet made, has ended his pain and suffering, which he would have had a LOT of. Great news about the new truck, a big THANK YOU to all your wonderful subscribers and donors, who so kindly made this possible.👍Best wishes from Australia
