My apologies Irv for the personal derogatory remarks. I have walked extensive miles in a rescuer's shoes, and
am obviously very passionate about the sacrifices some people make so that
others have a chance at a better life. I should have stuck w/the facts and not
my personal opinions about your comments. Lucky for some, my passion for SAR is almost as strong. Laurie Hanahan From: msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org

Hanahan This thread does not belong on this list. HOWEVER, since you bring it up – I’ve been involved with
Doberman rescue for over 15 years, have personally fostered over 150 dogs, 70
as an independent rescuer, assisted in the direct
rescue/rehabilitation/rehoming of over 1,000 dogs. I have NEVER made a
profit on a single dog, and retired due to the idiotic statements I hear from ignorant
people such as Irv’s below. Obviously you have never cared enough to
rescue an animal in need. I have put thousands of dollars into animals
that shouldn’t be in the position of needing rescuing in the first place.
The animal doesn’t ASK to be put into a position where it needs to be rescued,
but it NEEDS people who care enough to put their own money and energy to
help them get into a better situation. Every REPUTABLE (there’s always a
few bad apples in every bushel) horse and small animal rescue I know of is a
501c3 organization comprised SOLELY of volunteers, utilizing in home foster
care and donated farm space (i.e., NO owned facilities), dependent on donations
to cover basic medical needs of the animals that come into their care.
Rescuers truly care about the animals that they invest their heart, money
and efforts into and won’t sell you an animal just to make a buck – like
“dealers” do. Never met a reputable horse “dealer” yet. Sorry folks, but statements such as Irv’s really chafe my
behind. He doesn’t have a clue about animal rescue. I’m
done. Back to SAR topics. Laurie Hanahan (retired Doberman rescuer) From:

LICHTENSTEIN I have to agree with Una on this—horse welfare beyond mission
readiness doesn’t belong here on the MSAR list. We are faced today with an economy that won’t restart, confidence
in the future as low as it has ever been and an unwillingness to spend
government or private funds to get it started. In the horse business, and it is a business,
this has resulted in oversupply for years, depressed prices, and no place to
recoup investment. We shut down slaughter, which put about 100 000 unwanted horses into French
stomachs, we shut down the {MU operations which brought forth a flood of sport
horses. If you can make a commitment for 20 years to care for and support a
horse, buy one, don’t go to a rescue and adopt one, buy it outright, accept the
responsibility of ownership. Horse rescues and dog rescues should be
outlawed as charities. They are nothing more than rental agencies for
animals. They have to make a profit on each transaction to sustain their
administrators, real estate, and paid care staff. There are plenty of “used
horse dealers” out there without dealing with a “rescue”. Irv Lichtenstein From:
