CYNTHIA WHITE
THANK YOU CYNTHIA WHITE
We regularly state how we love and admire keyboard warriors, and we constantly remind keyboard warriors of how valuable they are.
Cynthia White lives in the state of Georgia on a farm, that has been in her family since 1860, with 2 horses, 2 roosters, 2 dogs and 5 cats – all rescued!
(That’s one of her rescued horses Gabriel in the picture at the top of this blog post!)
She works full-time as an EMT, and even though her job can be gruelling with long hours and shifts, including night shifts – you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who works harder when it comes to advocating for animals – including horses.
Cynthia had her first up-close and personal experience with horses when as a child she took riding lessons. She was instantly smitten and she’s just as in love with horses today as she was then.
Advocacy for animals began in high school for Cynthia. She was on the debate team and wrote and presented a speech titled, “Man’s Inhumanity Towards Animals”.
While in high school she was so disturbed after learning about vivisection — where chemicals are needlessly sprayed in the eyes of rabbits to test for safety on humans — that she called Tide. The operator who took her call laughed at Cynthia’s compassion for animals.
Today Cynthia loves to call Tide out on Twitter. They say they no longer test on animals for products sold within North America, but the same is not true for products from Tide in China.
Cynthia began tweeting about horses being sent from the United States to Canada and Mexico for slaughter when there were about 160,000 horses from America being slaughtered annually. Today that number is around 30,000 down from a one-time high of 400,000. She knows in her heart that social media has played a huge part in raising awareness which in turn has reduced the number of horses slaughtered.
While advocating for all equines, Cynthia constantly thinks about her own horses and cringes to think about how they would feel, if they were shipped for 3 days or longer, crammed in with horses they don’t know, in a leg-breaking trailer.
Shipped without food or water, to a location where they would face slaughter — and she is especially horrified to think about how a PETA study confirmed that 30 percent of horses slaughtered are hung by a leg – and “bled out” while still living.
Horse slaughter is far from humane.
When Cynthia learned about the plight of wild horses being rounded up with terrifying, injury-inducing, even lethal tactics, then shipped to slaughter, all because some claim that rangeland needs to be protected for cattle and sheep, she no longer felt good about eating meat — so she adopted a plant-based lifestyle.
She attributes the change in lifestyle to not only creating spiritual growth but also, along with yoga, being able to handle the physically demanding aspects of her job, as well as those half her age.
Recently Cynthia locked arms with the founder and CEO of Global Wildlife Warriors, Saverio Di Sensi. She has the utmost respect for Mr. Di Sensi and his 4 decades of advocacy for animals. Cynthia raves about how extremely valuable his mentorship has been.
Between the valuable mentoring of Saverio, GWW’s 40 pages — all over the world — and Cynthia becoming the Global Director of GWW, her voice has more clout and reach than ever before!
