Thanks for all that you do on behalf of our beloved horses. We WILL end horse slaughter!
Beautiful video...hope it gets the award
This is an excellent movie that portrays the importance of our American horses thru the coarse of history .These graceful and intelligent companion animals are often brought to a barbaric and brutal slaughter plant where the smell of death permeates throughout these facilities .Thanks to this movie we are able to see the truth about Americas dirty little secret .
sometimes can be a good thing, like if a person doesn't have the money to feed thier horses and it is starving and there is no chance of survival I think at that time slaughter would be a good thing,and if it is to old and is ill, or if a horse is injured, that too would be a good time for slaughter, but I think it wrong to kill a perfectly good horse that some one else could take care of. If slaughter houses are destroyed or stoped then these horses will suffer greatly a pain greater then anyone here could ever imagine. So this is all I think about these slaughter houses.
makes me sad...i hate the way we treat animals. going to come back to us someday
Thank you for your caring attitude. Please know you have power in righting wrongs. Never under estimate the power of your voice. Blessings Sawjja
This is the most moving and truthful video I have seen. It speaks TRUTH about all these noble beasts, all they have done to help America be where it is today. And they continue to give, to the disabled, the troubled youth, the lonely and many others. They are our gift, it is up to us to honor them and be their voice to those who do not understand. How could anyone watch this and not know what the right thing to do is??? Thank you for this video, I encourage everyone to pass this on, and on , and on utill it is heard all over the world!!!! peace
Why can't this vidio be put on every news station???
This is terribly hard to watch as the producer sets up our very special relationship and dependence on horses before showing them being thrown away at foreign slaughterhouses for foreigners to eat. Hopefully this Congress will speedily put an end to the cruelty! Thanks John.
Thank you for all you do to help the horses. I think the American Horse says it very well and is a wonderful video that helps educate about horse slaughter. We look forward to the day horse slaughter is no longer an option.
This Video breaks my heart - it tells the story so well, you have to wonder how anyone could view it not see the importance of the horse to our history and also not see the love between humans and their horses. How can we send these beautiful creatures to slaughter?
I'm going to go down
This is such a sensative and powerful video. As a horse lover and horse owner, I was really moved by it. I can't imagine life without these magnifcent, smart, loyal animals. You have really captured the essence of the issue and I congratulate you.
thankyou john for your reply!! i am actually in australia but still would like to help stop all slaughtereing of horses!!What is this Yahoo group you are talking about i would like to join!! thanks so much kristy

kristy

We would welcome you to the struggle to educate Americans and get horse slaughter stopped. Each of us became aware like you and decided to fight this evil. You might want to join the yahoo group againstslaughter.

let me revise my first comment. You should be looking "down" to me instead of 'up'.
Omg horses are so smart!! you dont see cows pigs sheep etc carrying people into war or doing tricks on commad and horse go out of their way to help us people i think that you nastika have no respect so i think that you should go to a slaughter house and see them get slaughtered i no that horses are beuatiful animals and they should be treated right!! ok so sometimes they do go bad but so do people you dont see people being taken to a slaughter house after they do something wrong no do you!! have some respect for those who have continously tryed to do things for us humans!!!!
horses have lived and died for us as our companions, best friends and family since we first tamed them back in caveman times. Yet we show them our respect and gratification for them and thier ancestors by sending them to the slaughter house for a peice of meat. For what they have layed everything they have on a platter for us wether they be american, scottish, english, australian or any other damn country and they deserve to live in luxury and die of old age. Yes there is the bad tempered ones as there is of any other species including human but we still dont whip, shoot, torture or send them to the slaughter house now do we. I praise the makers of the movie and there should be alot more people out there doing something to give these beuatiful, loving and graceful animals a voice. Let our children and childrens children etc. enjoy thier company as we did and leave these animals out of that scene besides as another post said its ony meat for the rich and i think they already have a broad enough menu.
thank you john for this video!!
Vonteke you should be thankful for horses i no i am!! i bet theyve done more for america and other countries than you have ever done and will probably will ever do!
when i see photos of you carrying soliders into war then ill see your point but till then you are so WRONG!!
I'm glad to see that someone was finally able to show the sacrifice and heart that Americas horses have always given their humans - how can we reward them by this senseless act of cruelty, slaughter needs to end TODAY!!!!
This is beautiful and needs to be seen by ALL! Our horses ARE our friends and companions. They deserve better than they've gotten. Thank you for speaking on their behalf and helping to save them.
Wow, I am amazed at all the great comments and wonderful support for this video. I must, however, say that the song was written and performed by Mark Miles (Bubba Blues). His words were so inspiring that it made putting the video around them relatively easy. This will be our year to end horse slaughter!
I am so saddened that the United States could ever let this horrific act exist in this country. All people should be forced to view this so they can see what is continuing to happen for our beloved equines. This must stop, as certain as we as Americans fight for justice on all other topics, countries etc., we must abolish the slaughter houses in our country as should they not exist in any instance. The bond that is possible with your horse is something that some cannot understand, it humbles you, makes you stronger person, teaches patience as well as friendship. No one ever said your best friend had to be another human being. I will pass this video on an fight and pray to stop the massacre.
THANK YOU JOHN FOR SHOWING IT LIKE IT IS...2007 WILL BE ..OUR YEAR.TO END THIS SHAMEFUL ATROCITY. STOP KILLING OUR AMERICAN HORSES NOW!!!
When we have our first annual NO MORE SLAUGHTER IN AMERICA parade ... YOU will be up on the float waving from your throne!!
You are a brilliant man.

horses have given so much to us. now it's time to give back to them. the only way we can do this is by giving them loving, caring homes, and ending horse slaughter.
I love my horse to much to ever think that he would end up this way.
I hope this video wins the award. Very powerful. WE MUST end this horror.
video is propaganda
THE PRODUCER OF THIS VID DESERVES A REWARD.
Every single one of my posts was deleted by you horse fuckers. Get a fuckin life! Anyone who wants to not be a pussy and argue can debate me on AIM on Shizno681. But post here first because I dont usualy sign on.
Thanks for raising awareness to the brutality of horse slaughter. This is a very powerful video and you've done a wonderful job of showing the general public just what can happen if action isn't taken immediately. It was hard to watch but I'm glad I did. Thank you.
Someone wants to put their point of view for this video, and you won't allow it. And you know that I'm right, or else you would have just left my comments on there if you had refuted me. But not only did you fail to argue against me, but I destroyed your supporters points so much that you had to take theirs off. Now I hope that we slaughter more horses than ever, and that they are served to you, and you have to eat it.
A great story, lets get the slaughter ended now!
emotionless word, anymore. I prefer BUTCHER. I would like every single person in the world who thinks this practice is legit take a blow between the eyes with a bic pen, be knocked to the ground and hoisted by an ankle (left, right, doesn't matter, just so that it's done violently enough that that said ankle is broken) and hung in a cold stinking building for about three minutes.
That would make me happy. Just a little lesson in empathy.
I still cry everytime I watch this video, it is so sad.
I would like to thank John Holland and Bubba Blues, for allowing me to be a part of the video. I pray it reaches thousands and touches the hearts and souls of many, encouraging them to write their Congressmen and Represenitives asking them to ban the slaughter of America's horses in our beautiful country once and for all, forever.
Keep the Spirit Alive, stop horse slaughter!

Thank you for making this excellent video. Everyone should watch this video - very educational! The music is beautiful, too.
Thank you for this truthful account of our American Icon! These creatures are not a commodity, they are creatures who grace our lives every day and have done so in so many different aspects of life for ages. The Harley Davidson is called the Iron Horse, so many products bear the name horsepower. This doesn't just happen to those who have not graced our country with their presence. We need to protect them, we need to do what is right and stop the slaughters of this magnificent creature who has done no wrong in life, except trust the wrong humans. Thank you so much for this moving, truthful video.
We have to end this atrocity of killing our beautiful horses. It is grim, sad and very brutal. United Stares of America should be ashamed of this cruel and nasty practice. Thank you, John, for this great piece of awareness. With God on our side we will shut down those good for nothing plants.
2007 WILL BE OUR YEAR AND OUR HORSES YEAR.
John, truely a great work with this video. It touches your heart, I have sent this video to friends who reply back, who do I call to stop this? Thank you for your work and your love of horses.
It is hubris to think that humans will remain at the top of the food chain in the evolution of species. Just as we should recognize this in horses, I sincerely hope that whatever pushes us to second place recognizes that we are sentient creatures and doesn't herd us up and send us to slaughter.
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die form great lonliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All Things Are Connected...

I hate people for doing this!!!!This is just soo horific and wroong!!!People wake up!Those are ours horses that love us and give all they have and we send them to that place!!!!!!Stop doing this!!!!!There are other ways to put a horse down,may be more expensive but its worth all the damn $$$$!!!!wake up!!!!hope you all burn in hell when your turn comes
What are we doing as a specie? We find a way to destroy anything that is beautiful for what some people think is good; Shark fins for soup, Bear paws & organs for sexual aids, anything exotic is good for sexual aids. Its just plane stupid. I hope that the children we raise can do a better job with the few beautiful things left in this world because we sure have done a poor job. I know that if my grandmother or grandfather walked with a limp or couldn't chew so well they wouln't end up in a place like this so why must these beautiful , elegant creatures?
Wonderful video! Thanks so much for telling it like it is!
Why should American horses be killed for wealthy foreigners to eat?? These horses are not being killed to feed 3rd world starving children. They are being killed for foreigners by foreigners. Let's keep America's Horses alive in America.
I just learned thru Barbaro that American horses are being slaughtered and their meat is being shipped overseas for human consumption. I couldn't believe it. I said"When did that happen ?"and" Why didn't I know ?" Many more know now and we are going to let all of America know! It will stop !
Thank you for being a voice for our beloved friends!

Your video is great! I hope it wins the reward! Good luck!
Even after a year and watching this video millions of times I still cry. This video is so touching and moving! We have got to get S1915 passed and remind people how important it is to get the American horse Slaughter Prevention Act passed and how important it is to call and write your Senators and urge them to pass this bill!
Horses are great creatures and do not deserve the poor treatment being given to them. We need responsible breeding, more publicity to get non-horse people aware and better protection for the wild horses. This is the reason that my horses will be with me until one of us is in the ground!
Just Excellent!!!!!!!
Sensitively and beautifully portrayed. May our elected officials listen to the voices and bend to the will of the American people and pass the Horse Anti-Slaughter Act soon.
Betrayal of the Noble Steed by the less then noble
Watching this video made it impossible for me to maintain dry eyes! I have loved and I've been owned and loved by a few horses in my life! It was one of the "greatest" rides of my life!
I will never understand our betrayal of the Noble Steed, forsaken these wondrous creatures, forgetting its unflinching service to us. There are no excuses that can condone the torture, mistreatment and total disregard for their loyal service! Someone in power "Please" step in before it's too late! Insensitive humans will one day reap what they have sown!!!
