I was a volunteer at Ukutula Lion Park shortly after Kesha's visit. She never paid the money to adopt the cub. This is why it is no longer called Kesha but Zoey, after a non-celebrity girl who REALLY adopted it! And the cub was not orphaned either. If Kesha was a real animal lover, she wouldn't tell lies about Ukutula and she would be informed about what they do and why they breed lions! I must correct that comment about Kesha.

I am a ny jew who has been wrestling with the kosher?humane issue for quite some time. I am also a lifelong horseperson, now living with my horses and livestock in upstate NY. The carriage industry, with which I have had years of close contact, observation, and relationships with, is the absolute last industry you should be going after. Did your reporter do any fact checking at all? There was only one death of a carriage horse this year, and the shouts of "abuse" unfounded and libelous. I have seen these animal activists screaming at drivers with their babies in strollers closer to the car fumes than any horse could get. The shutdown of the Chalal slaughterhouse last year, which caused such stress and an inability for my Hassidic friends to get affordable meat, was long overdue. Besides the abuse of illegal workers, there is video of cows being dragged by one leg into a slippery cement room to trip down, crash, and then be slaughtered. Shame! I have read my Torah, and Kosher is not just about a rabbi saying a prayer at the end and taking $ to certify, its about how the animal was raised, and handled before slaughter. Fact is, I believe my "unkosher" meat lovingly raised and slaughtered painlessly on my own farm is far more kosher than what most Jews eat. And the NYC carriage drivers, who provide 5 weeks vacation, full dental and medical care far above and beyond the ASPCA requirements, and the average working age going to 30 for these animals is a testament to what so called "Jewish" care of all domestic animals should be. Before you support these lies, I will say what I say to EVERYONE who promotes this crap. Check your facts, and get you're butt down to the carriage barns to see for yourself the "horrible stand in their own shit " conditions AREN"T.

By whom? I have repeatedly asked the anti-carriage crowd for proof, as in actual facts, that the carriage horses are abused. The response? "They look sad." Ask any of them about their horse knowledge – it is non-existent. The lies that are spread about these horses and their drivers would be laughable if the situation wasn’t so serious. I have also repeatedly asked the anti-carriage crowd for the names of the rescues where these horses will go and who will pay for their care. The response? “Don’t worry – we have it covered.” Um, riiiight. Horse rescues are over-flowing, there is a hay shortage in much of the country, let alone a land shortage for pasture, the wild horses are being rounded up, and horse slaughter is back on the table, and I’m not supposed to “worry” about it? Oh, and let’s not forget that NY-Class is in bed with PETA and PETA has come out in favor of horse slaughter. See Lifting horse slaughter ban: Why PETA says it's a good idea: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/1130/Lifting-horse-slaughter-ban-Why-PETA-says-it-s-a-good-idea Oh, no, I’m not worried at all! “Well documented”?

I think getting the word out to the public will help. Most don't know about horse slaughter in the U.S. unless they are horse people. Thanks for posting this reminder to stand up for our horses.
