I just got off the telephone with a Rescue who has stepped up for Arwen...the severely emaciated and mange ridden GSD in Georgia! They will still need our help with the cost of medical bills, so PLEASE keep the "Dime A Day" comming!!! We have a few more donations that came in; will update the list at the end of the day!! Also, just got this in and thought you horsey people out there might be interested.. Suffolk Downs Racetrack in Mass has a zero tolerance policy on sending retired race horses to slaughter! Read below.... by: Tracy Gantz July 03 2008, Article # 12194 Sending racehorses to slaughter will not be tolerated at Suffolk Downs racetrack in Boston. Track management will now deny trainers stalls if they sell a horse for slaughter. This latest move bolsters other efforts underway to protect Thoroughbred racehorses, including retirement funding already in place by the track and local horsemen. "I hope we never have to use this," said Sam Elliott, Suffolk's vice president for racing, who put the rule into ..." Two volunteers just recently went to the New Holland Auctions to purchase back several Thoroughbreds with money from this fund. If we think that the dogs are treated badly, horses fare even worse in a bad economy! Dawn Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
