What is a "Kill-Buyer?"

“KILL-BUYERS” and “BUNCHER’S” are unscruplous people who act as middlemen for the $laughterhouses. These are the people that will outbid you at auction while you are trying to buy a cute little horse or pony for your granchild, these are the people that will answer FREE TO A GOOD HOME ads for your horse and will promice to provide a "forever loving home" to your beloved animal - and take him directly to $laughter. These are the people that CHOOSE to earn their living bringing horses, yes, even "good" horses, to $laughter as a way of life. They travel all over the country and keep 'kill-pens" or feedlots at various locations throughout the U.S., Canada & Mexico. These are the people that will keep seriously injured, sick and suffering horses alive that SHOULD BE, NEED TO BE euthanised RIGHT AWAY but keep them alive anyways and let them suffer because they know a horse must be alive and standing "on at least three legs" to go to $laughter. These are the people that realize and exploit the fact that there is a BIG demand abroad for horsemeat and BIG money to be made right here in the good ole' USA supplying that foreign demand. This list is by no means complete. Killbuyers are everywhere and could be living right next door to you! This is a list of the known killbuyers that have been identified through reliable sources. Avoid them like the plague they are!

What is a GONGO?

"Government Operated Non-Governmental Organization"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GONGO

A misnomer?

The National Councel of State Legislators is an example of a "Govt' Operated" "Non-Governmental Organization" - http://unnecessaryevils.blogspot.com/2010/08/national-counsel-of-state-legislators.html

Who Lobbys in Congress on behalf of special interests...there ought to be a law!

National Counsel of State Legislators a NON-Governmental NPO?

ROFLAO; Should be ILLEGAL! How can an organization made up strictly of Politicians and Congressional Representatives be a "Non-Governmental" anything? http://www.ncsl.org/

See how far we have come from democracy and serving the will of the people over special interests?

Just another american disgrace,...like being "ok" with torture and "indefinate detention."
