I can relate to your post. I used to work as a vet tech years ago. I've worked for animal shelters. So I have seen what people do to animals. I turn away from those ads also.

Maybe this will make you feel a bit better. I got into horse rescue this summer. We now have a palomino & a race horse who were on their way to the kill pen. Now they have a great home & are well loved.

For a few days I've known there were a bunch of horses left over from the horse auction & the meat buyers were coming today or tomorrow for them. I don't cry anymore over it since I have no tears left. But I got the girl who splits the barn with me & another women to go take a look at the horses. So today a horse was saved & is on his way to our quarantine pasture. Another horse to join our other 5 rescue horses. I am getting ready to go out & see this ex race horse who was tossed away after somebody decided he wasn't worth loving & feeding anymore.

My horses are on my page & Moonie looks 100% better then he did in his picture there. Amazing what lots of love, care & kindness did for him. I hear from some of my friends that I am crazy in this economy to have horses. It is hard & we don't go out to dinner or spend money like we used to on ourselves. But the joy we get from our horses is worth every penny. Plus all my adult children are getting involved & my 10 yr old daughter is active in riding & will show Moonie next summer. I do some cat & dog rescue too when I can. It is a zoo here in my house but I love my animals.
