- The Horse Shelter Heroes are given some very conflicting information, including the authorities telling them they CANNOT rescue horses! Todd comes and evaluates horses and almost gets kicked multiple times, some adorable puppies are surrendered, and a whole lot more!

I am Canadian, and when I inform my fellow Canadians that we ship live horses overseas for slaughter, they are shocked and horrified. But it still goes on. We need to change the laws.
❤
Hey I'm with you. Write down my screen name and let me know if you get a petition going or any other idea you may have to stop this! Like you, I was mortified at hearing we allowed this when we have so many laws against cruelty in place. How the hell could something like this be allowed?
My daughter and I are big fans of the tv series Heartland. There’s been several episodes where they’ve talked about horses going on the meat truck like it’s just an unfortunate fact of life.
There is work to change the legislation in Canada google BCSPCA. The legislation is about to be changed. It will not allow live horses to be shipped live to slaughter in other countries where it is culturally acceptable to eat horsemeat, however currently horses are shipped live to these countries because the countries do not like the slaughter practices for horses in Canada. So be aware changing legislation to stop live shipping does not mean horse slaughter will end at the Fort McLeod, Alta plant.
French Quebecers would have to change their tastes.
I want to know what happened to the guy who botched the gelding of the horse that you tried to help. Why are YOU getting punished for HIS screw up? It makes me really angry.🤬
This. Exactly.
Nothing happened him or the auction ppl.. Its legal there and horses are in the same bracket as cattle/ livestock
@@tracyharrington6976 wow!
They are being punished because they =publicized= what happened. That was their "crime."
You GO GIRL. ❤
Geez, the authorities really need to get off Horse Plus’s back. They are not doing anything illegal by rescuing horses. They are in fact granted that right by the constitution of the United States of America.
I dont think the authorities are on their back. They are actually trying to help. It's the laws that need changed.
@@lc285 She did remark at the end of the video that local Law Enforcement is backing the auction and would arrest them for trespassing if they returned. She said "The USDA Agent said, 'Go Back', but the local Police know that we have been kicked out, so we would end up in jail".
@@franksmith6871 - Yes, I stand corrected on my comment. Thank you.
@@franksmith6871 I would gladly go to jail for the horses, donkeys, and draft horses.
They've been turning a blind eye and or getting paid not to do anything about it!..@@lc285
I hope the USDA goes after that sheriff too. He broke the law and should know better ! But that’s what you get in those ‘ good ol boy’ states
I agree 100%
They are upset because you spotlighted the abuse and neglect they are condoning
For a ‘first’ world country America has some very antiquated laws and views on how animals should be treated.
Why are people so cruel 😭 I feel the pain of these wonderful people trying to save lives and can't because other people just suck out loud 😢
I think its time masses of horse lovers and lawyers sues and has the local law enforcement investigated for crime!!!
Soliciting a Trespass is a crime! That can be proven by the video and a couple questions to the "private property" owner! 🤨
Tawny get outsiders to buy the horses.. people were volunteering to go into the auction to buy them. Call representative Cohen again!!
Cohen is worthless.
Any lawyer in here willing to begin a class action lawsuit against TN for change?
Tawnee if anyone deserves a spa day it’s you ❤️
Simple , have your lawyer send the auction a letter stating the U.S.D.A. law about auctions and then go , if you get arrested you
will get a huge settlement .
When one door closes another door opens. don't give up, people are praying for you, this will not only be resolved but in the end come out to the horses advantage... Light is more powerful than darkness..
I wonder if the fact that people from all over the country &the world are watching what is happening in Tennessee has any effect on the “bad guy’s actions” here. I hope so!
That’s not how it works in the south-coming from a southerner. It’s good in some ways but terrible when things are immoral.
I watch from Australia and am appalled by the archaic laws in Tennessee 😡.. some how some way with alot of public pressure this MUST CHANGE..
Former southerner, stubbornness is what we/they have plenty of. You telling them to change their laws usually makes them even worse. Not that all are bad, but plenty who are, also are people in charge of too much.
Sounds to me we got a under the table payment going into some pockets. Time to go to The News, The Papers, Washington. You need to make the biggest ruckus to expose this cruelty and this is cruel! Good luck and keep fighting for those that have no voice!
You better get everyone one in the same room to sort this out , because this situation doesn't pass the smell test !
PLEASE INVOLVE THE TV STATIONS TO REPORT LIVE WHATS HAPPENING….. IVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BLATANT ILLEGAL WITCH HUNT EVER. THIS BULLYING MUST STOP, AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE NAMED & SHAMED. WE ALL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE LAND, THE FACT, IS THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW!!
The state of TN needs to get its act together. They seem to have different rules for different people. Keep going after them. Call them out and let people know publicly what you are going through to rescue horses from kill buyers.♥️🐴🤗👍
That’s beautiful to hear that public auctions is recognised as a public space that cannot exclude horse rescue patrons. Well done!!!
Like Tawnee said, I think this was a really important thing to have happen. When the door closes, go out the window!!
Can you imagine the relief that man selling the puppies felt when Tawnee told him there was a safe place for them to go? She was meant to be there that day ❤
This is a comment for Keith, I just love his kind andfunny. He's so handy at everything from building walls and fixing cars and digging trenches. And doing plumbing is a brilliant all rounder.
Thank you Keith for the eclectic mix of tasks that you perform ❤❤❤
Any lawyers out there who can help out there?!
Sadly it begins and ends with getting the laws updated and worded so strongly that they will no longer be manipulated. It may take donations to get a lawyer to write up the laws in such a way and all of us bombarding the house and Senate, our Reps over in writing, calls, petitions until they change the laws and enforce them to the highest.
Laws have got to change! Animals are suffering because of it!
I'm really very excited about that because now you can be vindicated and you can go back to the auctions. 🙏💕🐎🐾
You are buying horses like everyone else that attends the auction or that has land for horses. What you do with them after buying them is your legal business, just as it is for every other buyer.
When you said billy brown was shipping them to Mexico oh my heart skipped a beat 😥knowing how they would be treated over there like trash its really sad Thank you Horse Plus for giving horses a second chance 🐴✝️🐴
Amazing how that, as much history the horse has in America, now they're being cast aside like they're absolutely nothing. They're not tools you can throw away. They have lungs and hearts. They feel pain and compassion. And this blatant disregard for the well-being of a fellow creature sharing the same dirt we walk on is extremely upsetting. You're doing great work Tawnee. We all need to start yelling about this. It's unfair.
Amen!!!!! Amen!!!!!!
Curious, are you vegan? I also am horrified that people eat horses, but in Europe they do. If your vegan I understand your issue, but if you eat meat your argument can go towards all of them. In India the cow is revered and they are horrified that we eat them… the dog is eaten in china… killer whales are in swimming pools… and on and on.
Before anyone attacks me, I fully support and have donated to horse plus, I owned my dearest best friends horses and dogs and I cringe thinking about any of them being eaten, but cows have been pets, pigs, etc….but it’s the inhumane treatment of the animals that need to be changed to treat every beautiful life with dignity no matter what use they are to be used for.
@kallykat no not vegan. But i do agree with you. We do need to treat all animals much better with more love and respect, regardless of their purpose. I would 100% back better livestock practices, rules and regulations for quality of life and just respecting the animal much more, despite what they are being raised for. I guess just get more riled over horses, because i love them so much too.
yes. your statement actually made me tear up a little. Great statement
Does anyone “ vegan” happen to think Cows and horses are vegan. So that is why god says to be healthy it is ok to eat meat. To provide a healthy diet that you can thrive on. With all essential minerals and vitamins. Forget the diet Michell recommended it lacks to much. Be sensible for your health.
All animals should be treated with dignity and humane way.
so my family just told me last night that my horse had died. I’m really happy that you guys can help all these horses and give them the chance that they need and the last act of kindness if that’s what they need as well
Go get them horse plus !!! They barked up the wrong tree !!
I’m so sorry for you and all the horses 🐴 you could be saving from slaughter, abuse, whatever else they may suffer! It’s almost unbelievable that the law does not allow you to attend a public auction, have a by out program but will allow kill buyers to line their pockets with such ill earned profit! I pray there is something that will allow you to continue to do the lifesaving work you dedicate your lives to. God bless you!!!
Horse plus is the voice for each and every animals out there 😢
This so sad every news channel across the US needs to see all this so they can show whats going on.
I hope y’all are okay and can still rescue. Y’all aren’t doing anything illegal.
This is the first time that I've seen Todd.He's very efficient and doesn't take any nonsense from anybody of the horses I mean.
Well done❤🎉
You cleaned her stall last week ? It needs to be clean every day.
Yes, stalls should be cleaned daily.
I think she meant a deep clean not just daily pick up
@@s.farfal8248 when I clean stalls. Everyday. It's a thorough cleaning , raking. The whole stall. In the morning. And I keep picking up the shit all day while I'm there. With the last thing I do is throwing down the fresh bedding. May it be straw or shavings. This way it stays dry and gets no mold. Even scrub out the water buckets everyday. And I'm talking at least 30 stalls a day.
Can not imagine how sad and frustrated you feel. keep up the good fight, someday Tennessee will come out of the dark ages, the good ole boy interpretation has to stop
Keep pushing. It looks like that you may be on the point of a breakthrough. God will provide a way. You have a lot more people backing you than they have. Much love and prayers.❤❤❤
It's terrible that their defense is that horses are considered livestock. My question is, why is it ok to treat livestock like that? Every living being deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Not forced to endure pain, fear, and agony. Shame on those people!!!
Hooray for the USDA! I really hope that very nice guy can do something about what is an OBVIOUS case of corruption at that auction house AND in that department that keeps sending "inspectors" out with nothing better to do with OUR tax money than harass Hose Plus. Hooray for Tawnee (sp?) - you go girl!!!!!!
They could even start a lawsuit for discrimination🤔🙏🏻
I think, in the case of the Ag Investigators they could file an abuse of power suit too.@@tracytracy1030
Tawney what about picketing and protesting at the Capitol building in Tennessee? Bring more awareness that way. I live in North Carolina but I would drive to Tennessee to walk with you 😊
Thank you for your diligent work in trying to help horses with all the red tape you've been going through.
Just started watching, I see those eyes light up. I’m glad you found out that you can’t be banned. Just keep doing like y’all are, the legal way, keep up the great work.
So true. And I'm hoping it means they will pay closer attention to cruelty..no animal should ever be there in obvious pain or with injuries
Am from scotland. I have two horses. I wouldn't dream of doing any type of surgery on my horses without a vet .I love what you guys do for all those boauful horses 🐎 love that you go full steme ahead, for these preshish babies, so thank you ❤
You guys needs some great lawyers to jump in and help fight your case pro bono!
Whoooo boy Todd almost got kicked. That scared me. He was really lucky.
So glad you talked to Sen. Cohen! I know he's helped with other animal laws--I think the Big Cat Safety Act, and I know the PAST Act. He is a big help, so I'm glad he's now aware of what's going on!
Its time to get the lawyers
Involved one official says one thing and it sounds like
The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
Unless someone is padding
Some ones pocket , and that is what this deal sounds like to me .
Every human that buys a horse at auction is technically a rescuer!!! Rescuing is technically just buying! There is no law against purchasing a horse or multiple horses! I WANT PROOF IT'S ILLEGAL!!! UGH
Your comment is similar to mine, as each Horse Plus employee has the legal right to buy at auction. If each is denied, that's illegal, and I suggest local, legal counsel and intervention since the USDA is offering no solution. Peace and Blessings 🌻🐎
You are going thru crud to make needed changes. The fact that they are trying to cause you problems proves you are RIGHT.. Blessings for courage and strength!!
I don't know what you would do without Keith. A jack of all trades that is for sure. An all around great guy and employee
Ya don’t do anything you can’t do in front of everyone! If your hiding something is wrong! If you can’t take pictures and share with public something is haywire! So glad you have support!
I think Todd is amazing you got a really good guy when you got him and as far as everybody telling you different things just keep fighting you'll get there eventually and I just feel so sorry for the horses you can't rescue and I pray for them all.💔💕🙏🐎
I love this ranch hand and love his cowboy hat. He is a perfect fit.💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Keith is a gem!
Troy is a gem! Congratulations on such a great new hire!
There are a lot of abuses in our so called civil society. Many of them need to be addressed. You have chosen horses to stand up for. Some choose dogs, some choose cats, some even choose to stand up for chickens, pigs and cattle in commercial meat trade. You guys are doing and HAVE been doing what you can, when you can and you have also "fired up" other people and rescues that love horses. Good job.
I love Troy. Seeing this cowboy with tattoos giving the horsies Apple Nugget treats in one video warmed my heart like crazy. He really loves these animals!
At first it sounded so good and I was feeling hopeful. You are doing so much to be able to continue to rescue. And everything seems stacked against you. Which is unbelievable! To just go there is also a safety risk if things escalate. Even though it might be your right to go to the auction. I really, really hope something opens up and you can make an example for auctions and rescuers nationwide! It’s really nice to meet you Troy. It’s very obvious you are very connected with the horses. Definitely a great place to work at! And it’s very nice to see Todd again and doing evaluations. There are some really great horses! And Jilly is doing absolutely amazing. She will be a great horse for sure. A small part of me is hoping that Lyric might adopt her 😊
How can anyone not want you to rescue horses... Mind boggles 😵💫
I am so sorry about this setback. Don’t ever give up. Someday, somehow the right person is going to see what y’all do and make things right. Maybe your governor could have a talk with your local law enforcement and let them know that you are within your rights to go to the auction.
there is a really bad auction house in the central valley in California. the conditions animals are kept in are horrible and when they are presented to buyers and loaded for buyers they are horribly mishandled. to the point where the auctioneer had to comment on how roughly a staff member was handling animals. I rescued my first dairy cow from that auction because I couldn't contain my anger, I needed to save at least one before i left. my dream is to go back and take a whole lot out of that cycle. the people who buy from horrible auctions will also sell these animals back to this auction for slaughter once they're "broken" or no longer useful. the work you guys do is beyond amazing and I hope you never stop rescuing
Here we go….❤
No kicky Tawnee again, I sending that note to the Horse angels! ❤
Poor Tawnee, I feel so bad for her and her fellow staff member. It is never easy. I don't think they should let the kill buyers in at all. They should be outlawed. It's disgusting that this is their job and they are okay with it. I truly hope they can get back in again to save these beautiful horses!
I love watching all the trainers, especially the training evaluations. Hoping to see more of Todd's work for you, too.
Is there anything Keith can't fix?
Precious Tawnee and all Horse Plus staff/Volunteers know that your heart and all the wonderful work everyone is doing, is not in vain and definitely noticed! Be encouraged and we see, and I am so grateful for your transparency, all your efforts/work is making a huge difference in the horses and every other animals! I know, you can see that these are the last days, so keep doing what you doing and don’t give up or be discouraged because you are making a huge difference and we all love you!
Was good to see Todd back again. He was lucky with those 2 close calls of almost being kicked. I am so proud of all the work your organization has done and now all the work to get back into the auctions to help the poor horses that are dumped there. Thanks for all you do.
Don't care much for Todd
All of this Awesome News MAKES MY DAY 🙏❤️ You Guys Are Awesome ❤️🐴❤️🐴 I LOVE YOU ❤️💕😘 ❤️
I will have to go thru videos because I totally missed the finale for the Boot camp.
I haven’t seen it either. I think it has been delayed because of the various other events that have taken up their time and energy.
Oh Tawnee, my heart is broken for you and the team, this is such a ridiculous situation. Hopefully congress will help to push new laws through Tawnee, as you said, the current laws are ancient and do not belong in todays society.
TripleW is a hell hole. The more they try to push you out, the greater the spotlight on their horrendous attitude to animals. If they had half a brain cell between them, maybe they’d realise that what they are doing is hurting their own business. What an unbelievable bunch of Neanderthals.
I’m sending love and light to you all Tawnee, what I’ve realised over my life is that eventually, the good guys win over evil. These situations are sent to try us but we only get stronger, there has to be a reason for this to have happened. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise and laws will be changed in yours and the beautiful horses favour. I’m praying that that happens.
All my love and respect always guys. Ann, Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I’m from Pennsylvania and I’m glad we have that law.😊
There's been an upheaval---but seems like things are shaping up to take on a NEW form. Difficulties, but overall positive changes that are coming at the perfect time, actually. Kudos on your new staff, new initiatives, etc. I'm Impressed! Continued Best Wishes to all of you there. 🙂💓🐴 I enjoyed seeing Keith and Jason Take Care of Chores! I like your new guy Troy and the old guy Todd---both excellent horsemen to add support!
I think it's great how many horses your saving without even going to the auction..
Tawnee, thank you for continuing to be the voice for these horses. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be with all of these constraints being put on you. The fact that these kill buyers, and the slaughter pipeline is allowed to continue is horrifying. I'm glad you are talking to the representatives of your state, and educating them on these things. God Bless.
Well done for all your hard work, and the time it takes to find out your rights. Super work you gals and guys do😊
Jilly looks like a quarter horse mare I had named Tara
Wow Jason…….I didn’t know you are so handy around the house! You’re skills have been kept a secret. I’m happy to see you are also a big part of Horse Plus…….I mean we always see you around but your talents have been hidden! Tawny, what you’re doing is a humanitarian projects that helps not only the animals but children and adults as well. I need to tell you something and would rather it be by E mail. My message is to you, not your fans. Is that possible? (I don’t think you know about what I want to tell you.)
Love watching this they help so many kind s of animals plus horses from this awful cruelty they get at auctions !!
Congratulations on the idle fix, it is nice to have something work out.
WOW Georgia is beautiful, she seems so sweet ❤❤❤ and Jillie too 😊
I like it. The “offending hose” , boy fixing is also a part of horse shelter. That makes sense.
buy out seems to be the only to stay away from the fences in your way.
Not everyone cares about healthy horses, muchless abused ones. I don't think people realize or care what's going on in these auctions. If it doesn't affect them personally, they're just not interested. It's so sad to see these beautiful animals who've suffered tremendous abuse. The abuse continues to the rescuers as well. None of this screams justice and that's for sure. We'll have to put the gloves on, jump in the ring, and fight to the finish. There's always going to be winners and losers...HPHS will win this one. Prayers and donations ~ that's essential in my opinion.
Although I agree that this legislation is important, my concern is that this may increase the numbers of animals that are abandoned and left to their fate. With all of the advocacy that Horse Plus, and like organization have done, but animals are still being sent to slaughter, I fear that the message is not getting to where it should.
Tax every horse sale ....use it to pay for free end of life care for horses....Why not?
@@archangel807 Completely agree; but Tennessee is a so called 'red state' so anything this progressive would take a huge votoing block reversal. Not impossible, but will take alot of time.
Keith is wonderful to have on board. He does so much maintenance . Well done !!! 🎈🎈🎈
That's exactly what I posted to you a while back. You can't ban from a public auction, it has to be a private one! So I hope my comment is what put you on the right track.
Thank you so much for doing this amazing work!
Silver is my kind of horse
Time for everyone to pray together for you ❣️💖🙏🙏🐎🐎🐎🐎
I had wondered if the USDA could do anything. What constitutes a public auction, is there a licencing procedure or just need to operate in the open and not a sale in someone's back yard?
Thank you foe these videos...I am addicted to watching the awesome work you do... Will be sending you what I can $$...
Sue the auction and call the USDA as your witness
Why not go to a different auction? At this point, it might be better. Also, what about contracting with someone to go pickup horses at owner properties so horses don’t have to be sent to suction. Just trying to think outside the box.
I'm from Tennessee and see bad horses here going thru sales it breaks my heart.Thank all of you for what you do for the horses.
Love Troys voice and way of talking!!!
So glad to see Keith looking better.
