KEYBOARD WARRIORS ARE INCREDIBLY VALUABLE

I often have people tell me they wish they could do more, that they don’t own horses, that they “only” advocate via networking, and their key board.

So as I was reading the following post by Wendy Thomson, I was thinking about so many of you who are tireless with your networking efforts, who do make a HUGE difference in the world.

THANK YOU for being YOU!

Thank you for sharing via your social media accounts and for educating others as to what is going on with horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

On average each Facebook user has 300 friends, so if you are among the camp who are sharing and spreading the word about causes you care about, keep in mind that each time you post, there is the possibility of, on average 300 people seeing your post, and being educated about “your” cause.

Then as even one or two of your friends share your post… each of their on average 300 friends have the potential to see the post, and when a couple of their friends share the post —  and so forth and so on — you can do the math! 

Now add in your Twitter account, your Instagram account, your Pinterest account and well hopefully you get the idea.  

There is power in overlapping circles of influence and using your keyboard to advocate for the causes you care about.

I’ve pulled a few quotes from a powerful post by Wendy Thomson who I think hit the nail on the head.

Kudos too, to Meet Our Horse Meat in Australia who are  firm believers that “language matters” — and that those who advocate for others in any way — are heroes.  

Wendy thank you for sharing this, I couldn’t have said it better myself.  

AND to ANY ONE who feels they want to do more but who are worried that being a keyboard warrior is not enough, or to any one who is proud to be a keyboard warrior and wants to lock arms and work as a team to be even more effective, please…

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including  Japan.

The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT  horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan,  to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
