Is It Bad Enough For You?

My new Facebook page "Children 4 Horses" now has 130 people from all over the country and even from countries far away like Saudi Arabia and Romania on it - I can't believe it! It makes me very happy to know that my message is reaching so many people! If you haven't already visited, please go to the page and "like" it at: http://www.facebook.com/children4horses

I watched a video today that I think you should watch too. I can't believe that this even happens to horses. It made me cry to see the video, but my mom wanted me to let you know it's not graphic. I cried because it made me so sad to see horses treated so badly. I really wish all of this would just stop and that people would leave horses alone and let them just live happily!

The video is by Laura Leigh, a horse advocate who is the Founder and President of "Wild Horse Education" and Vice President of "Wild Horse Freedom Federation". Laura Leigh is usually out in the field during wild horse round-ups trying to get information back to everyone about what is happening to America's wild horses.

Please watch her video and stand up for American horses!! And don't forget to send me your letters for me to bring to Washngton, DC with me. I need your letters by March19th, 2012, so I have time to organize them before I leave on my trip. Send letters to me at:

Declan Gregg C/O Children 4 Horses

Here's the video for you to watch. ~Declan

Declan Bio

Declan is honored to be the 2012 ASPCA's Humane Kid of the Year and the first ever recipient of the ASPCA Junior Equine Angel Award. Declan is also an ASPCA Junior Equine Welfare Ambassador.

After hearing about the inhumane and cruel practice of horse slaughter, now ten-year-old Declan, decided he needed to raise his voice. He created Children 4 Horses, to spread the word about horse advocacy issues and worked diligently with the Million Horse March campaign to collect letters from children to inspire lawmakers to end the slaughter of American horses.

Declan’s dedication to horse advocacy brought him to the nation’s capital twice, where he represented over 1,000 children from the United States by presenting the letters to legislators in Congress. While in Washington DC, Declan met with Congressman Frank Guinta of New Hampshire, where he shared his opposition to the inhumane treatment of horses and subsequently garnered the Congressman’s co-sponsorship of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S.1176/H.R.2966).

Declan also joined forces with the “Horses on the Hill” campaign, speaking before celebrities, Congressmen and Senators to lobby against horse slaughter and advocate for the protection of horses under S.1176/H.R.2966. In addition to his three Washington DC visits, Declan testified at a hearing for a bill opposing horse slaughter at the New Hampshire State House in January, 2012.
