My My what an interesting list!!
Lisa and Randy Beasley!!
I turned them in several years ago to HAHS when they oh couldnt be
bothered to feed their horses.  it was a bitter cold snap. 2 weeks
windchills well below zero!!  these horses went 2 weeks with NO HAY
to keep them alive!!  This was in the Donna Ewing days at HAHS it
took 2 calls to get them to go out there.
Following the HAHS visit to their "farm"/Cavel feed lot they somehow
learned to manage to feed the horses.  Just the kind of element that
Cavel likes.  Perfect witnesses like this will get this bill passed
NO SWEAT!! 
What do you all think of the othe opponents??
Farmers and MEAT producers???
Last I looked I still dont see HORSE MEAT  in my supermarket, Do You??
And the HCI my oh my Donna, Donna, Donna what are you thinking???
You truly are a faithful and loyal Cavel Employee.
When ever they need you, You are there. Wonder how good the pension
plan is at Cavel.  hope its a good.  Wouldn't want you to sell OUR
horses out  for nothing!!!
Now, lets visit the proponents,
My oh my  humane slaughter  Gee Cavel...  if this is humane, why,oh
why would all the Humane Societies not agree???
Everyone, you know the drill.  Let's let our opponents know how much
we need to educate them  LOL
