And the Horse’s Ass…no wait, that is an insult to the horses, the piece of horse poop, no…again that is degrading to the fallen equines…the worthless, stinking, pond scum who issued the order should contemplate if he will receive the same loving treatment upon his retirement.

Fitch – Author of “Straight from the Horse’s Heart““Crap for Brains†Captain Hands Loyal Horses Death for Retirement PresentA lifetime of service thrown right into the garbageYou know, just when you think that things are leveling out and maybe the horses are gaining a little bit of ground you open up the paper or a news website and something like this reaches out and slaps you right in the face. It smarts, it stings and it STINKS! (Sorry, any semblance of a professional demeanor is right out the window)The retirement package that was administered to three solid veterans of the NYPD was a needle to the neck and an early death where they had an easy 10+ years left to reap the rewards of just being a horse. And the Horse’s Ass…no wait, that is an insult to the horses, the piece of horse poop, no…again that is

degrading to the fallen equines…the worthless, stinking, pond scum who issued the order should contemplate if he will receive the same loving treatment upon his retirement. We could only hope!Jen Carlson of the “Gothamist†reported today:“Some of New York’s finest four-legged friends have been sent off to greener pastures, with a loud rally cry from animal rights activists sending them off. According to the NY Post, the head of theNYPD’s Mounted Unit, Capt. Barry Gelbman, ordered three retired police horses put down upon their retirement, saying various leg ailments made it impossible to transport them to new homes upstate and in New Hampshire.The horses—Danny, Willis and Richie Rich—were 15 to 20 years old, and had life expectancies of up to 30, leaving many to question Gelbman’s decision. Allegedly, he made it clear the animals were under his control, as property of his department. But one source

told the paper, “They did not need to be euthanized. They just could not travel cramped for 16 hours. They only needed special accommodations to move them.â€This isn’t the first time the NYPD has been involved in scandals involving their horses. On top of running a corrupt auction, in 2005 they sent 58 retired horses to a bankrupt farm where it was discovered they were malnourished.â€There you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth and here is what we are going to do about it. We need to get this turkey’s badge, he needs to ride off into the sunset with moraly bankrupt losers like “Slaugherhouse†Sue Wallis and defunct “Red†Ed Butcher. This idiot is not only an emabarrassement to the proud men and women of NYC who where the blue with honor, he makes me want to turn in my “Human Being†badge.Let the Mayor of New York know how pissed off you are athttp://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.bd08ee7c7c1ffec87c4b36d501c789a0/index.jsp?doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fmail%2Fhtml%2Fmayor.htmlCall the NYCPD at 212-868-2585 and let them know how you feel. Fellow advocates have reported back that those answering the phone are upset, too. Tell them where you are from and why you are calling.We are Equine Advocates and the voices of the horses, it doesn’t make any difference if it is 40,000 captured wild horses in pens, a 100,000 shipped across the border for slaughter or 3 police horses in New York City, it’s all about the horses and they need us, now, more than ever.Let your voices be heard and tonight, say a prayer for those who gave their lives for the service of man

without even so much as a thank you, without a single shred of compassion or gratitude. Offer a prayer of forgiveness to those who were so totally betrayed, like hundreds of thousands before them.We should know that prayer very well by now; it has become our mantra and how we lull ourselves to sleep at night, it’s the nightmare that haunts us as we try to rest and it’s the fire in our heart that presses us on.Maybe, just maybe we can retire that prayer, one day…just maybe.Sometimes I hate being a man.8 Worthy Opinions--Possibly related posts: (automatically generated) a..

Barb SApril 13, 2010 at 2:23 PM | #1Reply | QuoteMy message to the Mayor of New York City Your Captain Barry Gelbman should be fired for his treatment of those three police department horses. I live in Pennsylvania and I know of several rescues that would have taken those horses south for a well-deserved retirement! Right now–I DON’T love New York! 2..

This scum doesn’t even have a soul. 3.. maggiefromOKApril 13, 2010 at 2:27 PM | #3Reply | QuoteAnd this is how they were repaid for their service? You

called it right on. Pond Scum of the highest order. So sad and un-necessary. 4.. Barb BeckApril 13, 2010 at 2:43 PM | #4Reply | QuoteThanks. I wrote them a short note. 5.. Contessa E JordanApril 13, 2010 at 3:00 PM | #5Reply | QuoteWhat 16 Hour Trip would these horses have to make? Impossible. You can go from NYC to Buffalo and back with hours to spare, and it does not take 16 hours, (weather permitting). Seriously, the Mounted Police in NYC, love and care for their horses.. This is uncalled for. WHo is this guy? Our Mayor would love to hear from everyone on this. We love NY and Our Mayor. This act from NYC’s finest.. out of character, and out of line, and way out of policy. R. T. Please follow up, on this reporting. Eye on NY. 6.. Nancy BabcockApril 13, 2010 at 3:12 PM | #6Reply | QuoteI’m on the phone with the NYPD now…and that’s just the beginning… Thank you, R.T.,

for putting this out there and letting us know of this. The number you have posted goes directly to the Mounted Police Unit, as you know…I asked if these messages would get through to Raymond Kelly, the police commissioner–they won’t…he is Barry Gelbmans boss–he’s the one we need to complain to if we want Gelbman to hear anything about it. The policeman answering the phone at the Mounted Unit gave me the number to stat the path to Raymond Kelly’s office–646-610-5410. That’s where I’m going next–maybe I’ll see you there. 7.. Lea Ann D.April 13, 2010 at 4:17 PM | #7Reply | QuoteDisheartening that he would simply dispose of these beautiful, dedicated horses just before what should have been the best years of their life; just toss them away like used paper towels. Sickening. I’d love to punch this Gelbman in his face. WordPress.com | Thanks for flying with
