Tonight, I had the opportunity to get brought back up to speed about AC4h's shady wheelings and dealings on Facebook by a good friend of mine, who shall remain forever anonymous, in a chat on Facebook, after Facebook's powers-that-be so graciously admitted there was no basis to the allegations of copyright infringement by Cheryl Hanna, AC4h's publicity and marketing director, over my note "AC4h Hits a New Low", and restored access to my account. Boy, did it feel really, really good to smash Christy & Co.'s euphoria over my being banned when they all thought I was locked out permanently.
Well, that is just too bad for them, because like the famous Timex watch advertising slogan, I can take a licking and keep on ticking; my parents, God bless them, didn't raise me to be a wishy-washy namby-pamby at all (my immensely talented and lovable baby brother, Andy, knows I'm one tough cookie that doesn't crumble). Growing up with a disability meant having to acquire a very thick skin along the way, and I must say, mine is thicker than an alligator's and elephant's combined--and I am blessed with the gator's tenacity and the elephant's memory, both of which serve me very well :-)
Anyway, I'm getting a bit off track here and wanted to share with you all the link to a new blog right here on Blogger, by TornadoCountryLady, who sees AC4h for what it is, a scam designed to wring exorbitant amounts of money out of bleeding heart donors and adopters for unfit-for-sale horses behind its 501c3 nonprofit status by shrilly screaming "The meat truck is coming! Please hurry and donate what you can to keep these beauties off the truck before the deadline!" time after time.
She does a bang-up job of breaking down Christy & Co.'s scheme to a simple equation and explaining that while naive folks may be feeling mighty good about having "saved" one of the innumerable broker horses from going to slaughter, the majority of them are completely unaware of the fact that, by bailing that old, sick, lame or emaciated broker horse to the tune of hundreds of dollars, they just literally signed the death warrants of three or four or more horses--young, fat and healthy animals that Brian Moore is able to snap up cheaply with his cut from the broker horse program--horses that those bleeding hearts never, ever see or hear about on Facebook or anywhere else for that matter. Those are the ones that are truly in danger of being loaded onto the dreaded "meat truck" week after week, and Christy and her associates don't give a rat's ass about them, period.
Truth be told, they are just as pro-slaughter as "Slaughterhouse" Sue Wallis of Wyoming is--they pull such a convincing (to the unaware/uninitiated) act of being passionate horse welfare advocates, I'm sorely tempted to contact the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the governing body of the Academy Awards, and nominate them for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Oscars!
I don't know who TornadoCountryLady is, but she apparently has a Facebook account because in her recent blog post, "Kool Aid Anyone?" she referenced a rant by a Standardbred trainer and owner on the AC4h/AC$h Fraud and Abuse Reporting group, of which I am a member and frequent contributor. Whoever she is, kudos to her for having the courage to speak out and do her part to shine a harsh light on Christy Sheidy and her nefarious and heartless scam. Without further ado, I am more than pleased to share the link to her blog Please be sure to bookmark it, and encourage her to keep up the good work!
