U.S. Against Equine Slaughter

There are 9.2 million horses in America. The percentage of so called "un-wanted" horses going to slaughter each year is only 1% of the total number. The is NO WAY a market can be "glutted" based on 1% of its overall volume. The "excess" numbers can easily be absorbed IF only the breeders would take SELF-RESPONSIBILITY for each life they bring into the world. Horse-slaughter is an Un-necessary evil and is used ONLY by those seeking an easy, profitable way to dispose of their "Industry Cast-Offs."

USDA to Finance Montanas Horse-Slaughter Business?

"Prospera," a Montana Firm, to disburse $500K from the USDA to expand Montanas businesses, create jobs.

The money, which comes through the USDA’s Rural Development Intermediary Relending Program, is provided to community-development or regional-planning groups that then re-lend it to local businesses, according to the statement.

Loans must be used to start new businesses, expand existing ones or create or retain jobs.

Prospera was the only Montana-based organization chosen for the program.

We are left to wonder, why Montana?
