We Rescued the World's Oldest Mule from Slaughter | January Auction 

*Amen and well said Fauve.* 💝

Yes. It was wonderful that she could spend her last moments in the arms of everyday angels.

Thabk you for living your babe enough to give them a merciful and dignified death, and loving them across to the other side.

right on.

38!! Wow! She was obviously very well cared for by you to have lived so long

When I was 15 I got a unbroken Arabian horse from a auction, at this auction I didn't notice horses in bad conditions but maybe the best comes out first, also this was over 20 years ago. I loved this horse! I trained her to ride, though she didn't ever take to a saddle. One day she got her leg caught on something and fell hard, she ended up breaking her leg. We had to help her get into a stall so she could get her leg wrapped up and she wouldn't be able to move too much during her first few weeks of heeling. After a few days she fell down (don't know how), we tried for hours trying to get her off her back but failed. My grandpa told me she was suffering and had to be put down, it was a truly sad day

You MUST have loved and given such special care to your horse for it to live that long. Thank you for giving your horse the last act of kindness when it was needed.

I'm new but I'm worried Keiths health...

Beautifully said - I agree with you 100%, Hugh.

I can't stop crying. Those poor babies who humans have neglected. I'm so sorry you all have to do these humane acts for them but, am forever grateful that you are. THANK YOU. My heart's love and deep admiration to you all. Love the new Vet Tech. Great addition to the team. Love and prayers to you all. Loved seeing the horse run in her freedom!! I finally smiled. Thanks for those shots of her. JOY!! Makes it worth even the sadness. A Colorado Mountain Grandma, USA

Loved the Horse Plus Mission Impossible (HPMI) rescue auction. Very COOL. Keep up the great work. A much happier rescue. You are beautiful people!!!!!! A Colorado Mountain Grandma, USA

Not enough saved, thousands going to slaughterhouses, shipping to Germany Mexico Canada UK Japan EU Italy France Denmark for human meat pet products. Many were pets, loved, served their owners . Shameful unconsciousness of owners. Vets should be ashamed of prices and refusing treatment for payments. See Florida SPCA horse slaughter page section

It's sooooo much worse than shown. Horses are hit in heads with electric prodes, shovels, eyes poked out by staff, bulldoses used to push those around too weak or injured to stand, cold , cold wind, dehydration for months , big lick horrors unspeakable cruelty torture conditions. Hi there. Go to one and scream loud at media that ignores it... Call senators, govenor who ignores it in every state.. a huge trailer of racehorses in freeway accident , tattooed lips burned off and on their way to slaughterhouse! Abuse is everywhere. See Texas shipping kill pens of BLM your USA tax payers money for this slaughtering horses, dehydrated tortured emaciated bones showing starved after muscular free healthy on Federal land USA tax payers money pays for all of this horror See movie the horse story See Facebook Animal communicator course Lynn see famous penolope Smith telepathic interspecies communication CD DVD, famous horse communication horses scientific evidence link their heartbeats to all In. Their herd, FAMILY!! Yet BLM seperated all wild horses families , foals died already trampled foals smashed foals hanging out of mares running from helicopters fright, then foals go to Canada UK Japan France as human meat! USA tax payers money!

Thank God for the merciful goodbyes to these lovely creatures. St Francis, care for and gudie these wonderful people. Horse Plus for ever

As the same with ‘ol people

​@@sidoniebradmoore7517 Wonderfully said! I agree

Yes, sometimes it's time to let an animal go. This is because they are animals and prolonging their suffering is without purpose. With people, the value of their life even in suffering is irreducible and some people need to hear that message! We mustn't apply the same ethical standards to humans as to animals whose "quality of life" has waned. Euthanasia may be the "last act of kindness" to a horse with degeration of the coffin bone, but it's correctly termed murder (or suicide) when committed against a person. The difference is human dignity and the merit of human acts including practice of the virtue of fortitude in the last difficulties of life. Charity toward human beings includes palliative care but also support for life until natural death. Yes this is a heavy topic but the greatness of the human spirit is that we are able to rise to the occasion of patience in suffering, or faithful care for the sick and elderly.

@@ElizabethDMadison There are cases of human euthanasia, and I do believe it's correctly termed euthanasia. If someone has a terminal illness where the end of the disease means prolonged intractable pain, or loss of function of the body and/or mind, I think that the person enduring the illness having the right to define their end of life care, even if that should mean euthanasia of some form is a part of that, I don't see why the human should have to suffer through something we wouldn't expect our animals to go through. It happens all over our country now in a mild form where the patient is actively dying and doctors order morphine "titrated to comfort." It ends the pain and suppresses breathing and the body is able to relax which hastens death. Some countries, and even states in the U.S. are now allowing a more overt form of euthanasia. It's not always murder or suicide. It's a choice to retain dignity and exit this world on one's own terms. I do agree with you that sometimes it's best, and what are we but are apex animals? Be well! ❤

@@mel720 Your comment proves why I needed to comment on this subject. Taking an action purposed to end one's life is always wrong (suicide). End of life decisions or end of life pre-planning should not be suicide-minded. End of life reasonable care including palliative care that isn't intended to kill but has a risk of shortening life is not suicide. Deciding for another person like you would for a pet "let's put them down, they're suffering" is murder, not compassion. Be with them, give them a drink of water, relieve their pain. At some point each of us will die, but that moment should arrive in its own time.

@@ElizabethDMadison We will agree to disagree. I read your comment and just thought you're plain wrong. I have chronic pain. My disease is not terminal, but knowing how terrible my pain is sometimes, and how much worse it can be with some terminal conditions where pain wracks the body ceaselessly, I might have a different perspective. Euthanasia simply means "good death." You're talking of relief of pain, it can hasten death. The death comes easier and sooner than it would otherwise. I believe you're splitting hairs. There but for the grace of God go I. You really shouldn't judge what you don't understand, and until you walk a mile you can't. I may not have a full understanding, but I have a fuller understanding and I would never judge someone else who would like to ease out of this world relaxed, rather than contracted in pain and screaming for mercy. There was a time we could not do much, but we can now. If someone wants to consciously make decisions about what their end will entail, it's not for me or you, for that matter, to say that they shouldn't have that right. I read your comment for what it was, a judgement on what is or isn't okay for someone else... and I absolutely 💯 disagree. That's okay. We both face that unknown crossing and I would never wish pain, or torture, or torment on you or anyone else. I hope that when the time comes for you, it's peaceful and easy. That's the same thing I would wish for anyone. Natural disease states don't always allow for that as they progress. Some are nasty, and that isn't a strong enough word. I'm not saying that it's my place to make decisions for others, neither is it yours, and that's the point. I just feel you judge much too harshly what you can't understand. I meant it when I said be well.

@@mel720 Suffering is a part of life. It's not an unusual part of life either, even though it is so truly difficult. Being patient under its burdens is virtue. I absolutely do not agree suicide is the answer. It's a failure and insofar as someone freely chose it (as opposed to mental illness), they are gravely morally at fault. I warmly hope you'll have loving people around you who support and care for you and value your life and let you know it.

Keith is incredible!

And he doesn't mind slobbery kisses.

He deals with an awful lol yet seems happy to be doing so. Thanks for being willing to go with the flow Keith.

I started off with $5, decided I could double that amount, but then I had to put a hold.on My credit card due to suspected fraud , sadly it was through another rescue where I Made a one-off donation that multiplied. When I have a new card my donation will resume. You do such a wonderful job, and to make it possible that some poorly horses won’t need to travel in huge pain in the slaughter pipe-line, Even knowing they will be going over the rainbow bridge, is the kindest thing you can do for them

What happened to Maddie

4 paws I donate to, if Everyone donated & didn't leave it up to some with a conscience imagine the changes that could happen!😊

I'm sure added are opening gates almost need few people patrolling all night w a weapon or tear gas

iam from ireland cant get over the amount of race hores killed here shame

Thanks! She is amazing!

Hopefully the rest of your team is ok with the improvements that Jenna brings in. I feel you all are doing your very very best and you are such an amaizing team! Greetings from Germany! 😘❤👍

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Very well said 👍🏽♥️

Very well said.

Perhaps they need to bring locks for their pens now on..

Thank you for the care you give these animals. I know how painful it is to let them go but you cannot let them live in pain. We are the caregivers of animals for God. They are all precious to Him. Susan in Iowa.

@@Galemor1 How did you know they didn't bring locks? Where you there?

Seeing that they let people bring horses in there that are in such horrible condition, I doubt the auction owner would care if you'd talk to them.

You know it. Locks are good but idiots can cut off plus if fire set in trapped. It's a horrible thing that "people" do

Haha, good pun :)

Thanks!

How could these wonderful videos be improved upon?

She certainly is a great “ addition “ to the team. I enjoy watching her, Jenna, and Cory work together. Cory is a Sweetheart, too ♥️‼️

Right? Why keep an animal for that long just to send it to auction and potentially to slaughter? Perhaps the owners were too old or maybe didn't have any money to feed or keep it any longer. Any other reason isn't really an excuse though. Just terrible.

@@tisbutascratch2045 I sure don't understand it, I would eat oatmeal all week, miss meals, or sell personal belongings to take care of my rescued dogs if I had to. Too many people treat their animals like the rest of their inert possessions that they get tired of or just don't want to put money out for any more. If you take an animal in then you are entering into a commitment that should last the life of that animal and you do for them according to their needs. That poor horse with the hoof coming off was 😢 super sad, but thanks to you she knew love & care, with a peaceful transition.

@@ohthelovelypoems I really appreciate Doc’s kindness and love for all of the animals. He is truly one of GOD’S angels to the animal kingdom 🙏🏼♥️❗️
