The World Needs More Hailey AndersonsRecently SHARK was contacted by one of our yougest supporters, whose compassionate ambitions rival those ahead of her in years. Eleven-year-old Hailey Anderson found SHARK on the internet when researching the horse slaughter issue. After watching the videos on HorseKillers.com, Hailey was moved to gather up her own donation to SHARK for the horses. Please read her heartwarming letter below. Dear Members of SHARK, I am Hailey Anderson, age 11. I wrote you this letter because I own 6 horses, and I think that horse slaughter should be stopped EVERYWHERE!!! Even though it is illegal in the U.S.A. the people just ship them over to Mexico. I have watched your videos on horsekillers.com and I think that is the most terrible thing I've ever seen done to a horse. We rescue horses and one that we rescued had a horrible life. He was owned by an abusive racehorse trainer. He was raced on a fractured knee and was threatened to be shot by his owner if no one took him - off the property. So we decided to take him and fix him up. In the year and a half we had him he had gained 350 lbs and gotten surgery for his knee. I named him The Pied Piper and we called him Piper. After that long year and a half Piper had a terrible accident. Him and another one of our horses were in the run-in. It was storming outside and the other horse started kicking. Piper got scared and busted through a 4 by 4 wall, splitting his side open and puncturing his abdomen. So in June 2007 we had to put him down. Luckily he did not go to the slaughterhouse. Our vet, Dr. Susan Mendae, let us take him to a registered horse gravesite. We all miss him very much now and we are so happy that he didn't have to go to the slaughterhouse.
I am very happy to tell my story to you people on the SHARK team and I know I'm only 11 and I cant do much to stop horse slaughter, and every other slaughter, but I hope that you understand my true feelings for this serious act and yes I allow you to post my letter on your site. If you want to email me and give me the latest investigations and updates please feel free to. Thank you for all your hard work!!!
