PETA's Top 10 Blog Posts of 2010

What is wrong with you people? You live in the cities and have no comprehension at all about anything in the livestock community. Sine the ban has been placed against horse slaughter you're actually hurting those animals more. Now we have yuppies like you "saving" horses by penning 15-20 horses in a acre pen. Now instead of them being put out of their misery they are suffering more because people are smashing hundreds of horses in a trailer for days and even weeks to take them to mexico where they don't quickly and painlessly kill them they let them suffer and starve. Wake up I would rather be shot quick than deal die slowly and horribly. Instead of attacking rodeo people like myself, who in fact ensure the health and well-being of their animals with healthy feeding and regular vet checks try doing something about the spanish bullfighter crap (which i am strongly against) and the mexicans that think they can whip and spur and beat a horse into cooperation, which again is abuse and leave the people alone that actually take care of their animals. The bulls and horses that stock contractors supply for the rodeos are in fact in a much healthier environment than so many others. They get top quality feed the best vets in the country and only get ridden for 8 seconds or less maybe once a month. Flank straps that people so commonly believe go around the animals private parts actually go around their stomaches and have a thick cotton layer that protects them from any injury. The spurs have to be blunt and cannot cause any damage mithout serious reprecussions. Please check your facts and do something about the people that own horses and have no business doing so. People that feed their animals 4 falkes of alfalfa and 2 coffee cans full of molasses coated grain which results in serious intenstinal problems and then keep the horses locked in a stall all day and night without any excercise whatsoever. If you ate 20 burgers every day and were restricted to your bed without any option to move would you be healthy? Please save those animals and leave the ones that are already saved alone. Thanks

I liked the story of the Catholic pope that owned the fur factory farm in Illinois.

Some of these things are just horrifying. It's a good thing that PETA and other groups are around to stop these atrocities.
