THANK YOU JONI SKIBO LACROIX

We regularly state how we love and admire keyboard warriors, and we constantly remind keyboard warriors of how valuable they are. 



One of our favourite keyboard warriors tirelessly advocates for the banning of horse slaughter on Twitter — and she is most definitely an account that you’ll want to follow.

Follow Joni here.

Joni Skibo/LaCroix is a  veteran, who also sold real estate in Michigan, and now lives in Florida.

She’s an avid quilt designer and full time care giver for her husband, a disabled veteran.

Not only did Joni serve her country, she volunteered within her community, and after helping out at an equine assisted therapy centre — Joni was invited to ride her Arabian horse Phoenix in President Clinton’s Inauguration Day Parade.

Joni first heard about the slaughter of horses 9 years ago and she was appalled.

After hearing how many of the horses sold at auction end up on trucks bound for slaughter, she is thankful her daughter’s pony was among the lucky ones purchased by a private home.

Now that she knows what happens at auctions, she is relentless in advocating against selling equines at auctions, and instead of going to a breeder for a horse for her daughter, her family rescued a Standardbred who would otherwise have been slaughtered for human consumption.

Joni is extremely knowledgable about horse slaughter, and one of the things that we love the most about her is — not only how consistent she is with tweeting about a wide range of issues relating to slaughter — but that she understands the value of including a “Call To Action” on every post she tweets or re-tweets.

Joni is currently advocating non stop for the passing of the Safe Act and is constantly reminding people that the most powerful way to be heard is to “Grab your phone”.

It’s urgent you call the Capitol switchboard

(202) 224-3121

and ask to be connected to your Representatives

and both Senators.  

Tell them to BAN HORSE SLAUGHTER!

JONI RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS: 

THANK YOU JONI FOR BEING YOU

& FOR ALL YOU DO FOR SO MANY!

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.
