About crow131

I'm a happy camper 95% of the time, I love animals and kids....and some adults. I believe in Karma and am a spiritual and moral person. Bad people may gain in this world but they are still bad.... I have many interests, including horses, birds, growing my own food, art, writing, the Runes....yes, it is all over the map. I feel some of us are here to care for those who are not cared for by those who should care for them-if that makes any sense ;-)

Impressed is not the word I would use

Posted on February 17, 2015 by crow131

Because I am 100% anti-slaughter, and always will be. IMHO if you can afford horses (and sometimes even showing, clinics, fancy tack with bling all over it…) you can fork out the money to have them put the sleep peacefully … Continue reading →

  In the ongoing saga of the kill pen full of Standies and my frantic detective work I have learned something. A lot of the last registered owners of these horses have passed on. This sweet fellow is in this predicament. … Continue reading →

It’s a Feel Good Friday

Posted on February 6, 2015 by crow131

  Why?  Because I helped save a horse. We often see the posts on Facebook…a horse in need, in a kill pen usually.  Posts alternate between begging for donations, cursing the human race and people wishing they were rich and saying, “If … Continue reading →
