New Additions...

Roxie the Fox. One of our newest additions at Grace's Home. She will be released when she is old enough and able to care for herself on her own.
In June 2005 a deputy was called by concerned citizens about a starved horse unable to stand. The deputy arrived to the residence and concluded there was no evidence of neglect. Three days later she still had not been able to move from that very same position. A neighbor finally shot the mare to put her out of her misery but, not before a concerned 7 year old girl from down the street took photos of the dying horse. Those photos and the tragic story of the helpless mare reached the internet and Grace's Home. After gathering details about the situation of other animals at the same property, it was time to take action.
Grace's Home contacted the authorities on three ocassions after the mare was put down, but no action was taken. Over a year later, in July 2006, Grace's Home received another call concerning the horses on Ed Fuller Road. When we arrived, we were astonished at each of the horses' conditions. We began taking pictures and investigating their conditions through the fence. It was a horrific site to see. After taking several pictures of the three horses near the road and one located in the back of the pasture, we began to hear a clashing sound coming from the back of the pasture where the fourth horse was located. As we ventured alongside the fence, we discovered a fifth horse. The clashing we heard was being made by this horse's hooves against a piece of tin roof in the pasture. As we continued to try and study the horse from opposite sides of the pasture, we heard another sound coming from his area. The horse finally began to move positions and raise his head when we saw a chain coming form his halter, to a tree next to him, that was being drug agross the tin sheet. At this point, we knew we could not leave the premises until authorities would allow us to take the horses into Grace's Home's care. We contacted the sheriff's office and an arrest was made. Grace's Home received ownership of the all five horses. They are recovering wonderfully!
Heroes
Ed Fuller Road Mare - No Neglect according to deputy!
As you view these pictures, notice the depth behind her hip bone and her spine so incredibly evident. Also pay attention to the trench underneath her feet that she created for the three days she lay there and the cuts on her legs from making contact with the barbwire. She was struggling to get up, but obviously her body was too weak to gather the momentum needed to accomplish that. In the last picture you can see the dirt caked into her teeth. She undoubtedly suffered far more than any of us could possibly know. Her condition showed "NO evidence of neglect" to the deputy who was called in hopes of saving her. If you see an animal who is being cruelty treated, please fill out the form linked from the home page on our website. Help us try to relieve those traveling on this route from ever reaching this point.
Grace's Home is a non-profit organization for severely abused and neglected animals. We are located in West Monroe Louisiana and offer the public the opportunity to take action in helping stop the suffering of abused and neglected animals.
Grace's Home takes action on for abused and neglected animals by using our Lousiaina statutes as a guide for what constitutes abuse and neglect. We then contact the appropriate law enforcement depending on the location of the abused/neglected animal and show proof (usually pictures) of the victim and where in our laws it is considered to be a crime.
Visit our website for more information on recent cases while we are still in the process of updating myspace.

It's almost time that Canada starts their seal hunt... There are ways to help end this suffering. Remember always make sure the seafood you are purchasing does not come from Canada and do not support red lobster!!!!
My Mom and Dad just sent you some money to help feed the animals you so generously care for. I hope it helps pay for hay. What you do, and what you give is the most beautiful thing I can imagine. You are angels, all of you. God bless and keep you safe. You are my heroes.
"There is an Indian legend which says: "When a human dies, there is a bridge they must cross to enter into Heaven. At the head of this bridge awaits every animal the human encountered during their lifetime... The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away"

Just dropped by to thank you for supporting our boycott of Fox Films' Flicka, and for being my Friend!
Our Boycott Flicka campaign has been the most successful grassroots boycott of a major studio production in the history of the film industry!
According to film industry analysts the boycott cost Fox TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS at the box office!
Fox Films has lost money on Flicka!
How stupid are these people?
They Could Have Been Heroes!
When a horse was cruelly killed filming a wild horse race scene, I suggested they make a substantial donation to horse rescue groups; help to end horse slaughter and promise to never again endanger an animal. They told me to get lost!
Our campaign is now taking aim at the American Humane Association, which allowed the studio to abuse and kill that poor horse!
We are demanding that the Sreen Actors Guild end its relationship with, and funding of, American Humane!
If you haven't visted my page recently, please drop by. There's a bunch of new info and pics.
