Subject: Looking for Information on Donna Ewing
Dear Friends of SHARK,

As many of you know, the behavior of Donna Ewing, President of the Hooved Animal Rescue and Protection Society (HARPS) in Illinois raises serious questions about her true mission.  Beside her vocal support for horse slaughter, Ewing eats meat and serves meat at her fundraisers and has at least in the past had rodeo people on her staff.  An Illinois lobbyist has stated that he has also seen Ms. Ewing wearing fur coats, although we intend to get verification of this from Ms. Ewing.
 
At our website, http://www.horsekillers.com/, you can click on Who Supports Horse Slaughter? (http://www.sharkonline.org/horseslaughtersupporters.mv) to find out more about how Ms. Ewing supports horse slaughter, while at the same time claims in a recent fundraising letter to save horses from slaughter.  SHARK is now looking for documentation anyone might have on Ms. Ewing that further exposes her questionable behavior to those she supposedly protects.  Most specifically, we are looking for a letter she wrote to a horse slaughterhouse in which she gives advice on how to create better public relations such as keeping downed horses out of public view.

If you have a copy of this letter or any other information documenting her questionable behavior, please forward it on to SHARK at sharkintl@aol.com or to SHARK, PO Box 28, Geneva, IL 60134.

Thanks in advance!

For the Animals,
