Going to a slaughter auction

IdRatherBeRidin · 03-25-2005, 06:46 PM

There is an auction around here that sells horses to pretty much nothing but slaughter houses. The horses (i have heard) go for about 10-100 bucks and they are all half dead, the place has been charged for abuse many times due to horses actually dieing at the auctions! I might go there next week because my goal in life is to get that auction closed permenently. Im going to take lots of pictures of the horses, the facilities and any other disturbing things...what else should i pay attention to in order to get this place closed? I also know that i'm gonna have the urge to buy everything i see just to save its poor life. Please give me any advice you have on this topic and wish me luck!
The auction is New Holland in PA
We need everyones help to stop the slaughter...and end the pain

The auction is not a slaughter auction. There have been some problems with transport out of the auction, but the State, DOT, State Police and even the auction have helped to solve theses problems.

There are many horse and other animals auctioned there that never go to slaughter. If you think that the prices of horses are between $10-$100, you are sadly mistaken.

The place will not be closed.

There pleasure and work horses sold there. As well as other farm animals. I know of many people that have bought horses there that are riding them today. Not saying horses aren't bought that end up going sluaghter, but that is totally a different subject.

Your profile says you are from Winchester, VA. This isn't "an auction around here". It's not local to you. Why not to to one of the horse auctions going all around you?

The slaughter issue has been debated many times and it is an old one.

If you think coming to New Holland is going to end the auction, please don't waste your time. As I mentioned there is a presence around the New Holland Auction by the State Police and they don't tolerate any trouble.

NO!!!! I couldn't stand to look at the other ones - yet i found myself opening them. It''s so sad i could cry. I now have a sore on my lip from bitting it.

You can sit there and do nothing about it, but i wont. That is abuse and my instrcuter did buy 3 horses there the other day each for under 100 dollars and rescued them from slaughter!
It is local, its less then about 2 hours from here, we auction all around
Thankyou for your input but i will absolutely "waste my time" going up there
