Priscilla Presley gets my vote. She adopted Max, a horse I rescued from slaughter last summer: Priscilla called and said she wanted to help the horses after hearing about them. She adopted Max and I took him to Graceland this past January. Priscilla called Feb 22 to say that he was settled in well, happy, and looking good. This means a great deal to me. Priscilla worked closely with me/our team for 3 months to get Max transitioned to Graceland. Many phone calls and a lot of work. She has spoken out against horse slaughter. She has a huge heart for the animals, and she is simply a lovely caring person.
If Priscilla Presley is such an animal lover ask her to adopt the horses that are now being abandoned and left to starve to death because there is NO where to take them when the owners can’t afford them any longer, and/or for other legit reasons. You folks have NO IDEA what you have done to our beloved horses and the horse industry by having these plants shut down. You have created something much more painful that you even know.
Signed a horse lover AND horse owner in Montana.
