Less May be Best

Economic uncertainty is clearly trickling down. Keeneland Fall sales were down and there were less foals in the current crop.

On September 24, Fran Jurga posted an interesting take on why less foals may actually be a key to passage of the anti-slaughter bills floating around Congress, especially for organizations that take an opposition stance. It might be sub-titled "Putting your money where your mouth is" and her ten points are extremely well taken.

So is the alarming photo of horse carcasses that greets you.

Consider yourself warned. It is still well worth reading....

Thanks, Kathryn, for linking to my post about the Great Horse Industry Rift. I am (obviously) quite upset to see the horse world splitting into the equine equivalent of red state - blue state politics.

This subject is raw but we need to keep it front and center.

Love your blog!
