EXPOSED!
Here is an EMAIL that HORSE DEALER C.J. Oakwood has been sending out. Although CJ OAKWOOD is a horse "dealer", he is an outspoken advocate in support of HORSE SLAUGHTER.
C.J. earns his bread and butter by selling horses to the general public OR for slaughter. Instead of appreciating the fact that these beautiful animals have kept a roof over his head, paid his bills, clothed him, and put food on his table, he makes fun of them. They shed their blood for him, with courage and bravery as each horse walks the ramp one behind the other waiting its turn to be killed, knowing it is going to be killed: much like the inmate on death row waiting for his walk to look into the eyes of his own executioner.

C.J. buys horses from auctions throughout the United States for re-sale. The email that he has been sending out exposes his "lowly character" and severe lack of "morals" and "ethics" towards his very customers. Not only does he poke fun at the customers who bought horses from him and have supported him financially, he mocks the horses as well. He buys horses at the most deplorable auctions in the U.S. and sells them for slaughter with no remorse. I have posted his email that he sent to Robert and Lorraine Aichele- Horse Dealers- owners of Family Equine. Below his email are actual internet postings of C.J. Oakwood showing his support of horse slaughter.

C.J. is an avid supporter of HORSE SLAUGHTER and wigged out when hearings were being held and finally, the last remaining horse slaughterhouse was closed down for good this past summer in Dekalb, Illinois.

Here are a few of CJ's rantings and ravings I found on the internet so potential customers of Family Equine can get a gist of the "characters" of the people and business associates that they surround themselves with.

"Horse slaughter ban would be a blow to production agriculture"

C.J. Oakwood wrote on Feb 13, 2007 9:50 AM:

" Our politicians have not a clue what is going to happen to the equine industry and the welfare of horses IF WE BAN THE PROCESSING OF HORSE MEAT FOR EXPORT. .
The ANIMAL / TREE HUGGERS in this country need to find another planet to live on before they ruin this one.
FOR ALL THOSE " HORSE HUGGERS"... what are you going to do with these animals if we cannot dispose of them???
I PERSONALLY THINK WE SHOULD HAVE HORSE MEAT AVAILABLE AT THE IGA! If anyone thinks hitting a deer with your vehicle is a bad deal...try hitting a horse that has been turned loose by its owner...you will probably die...seat belt on! "

" "Why is Belgium telling United States judges what they should do in regards to American laws? Judge Kapala accepted a letter from Belgium that attempts to sway his decision in favor of horse slaughter. I think we need to let Belgium know that we Americans will not stand for any country dictating to us which of our laws is constitutional or not" KEEP PROCESSING HORSES!!! "

HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH SAVING HORSES
Apparently Rep. John Sweeney (R-NY) and Sen. John Ensign, DVM (R-NE) don't have a clue ("Horse Slaughter Ban Poses Broad implications"). How did Ensign get through vet school?

I will SUPPORT NCBA 100% on FIGHTING this piece of legislative FECAL MATERIAL ! I hope R-CALF gets on the wagon, too.
The next thing these NUTS will try to do is stop the harvesting of beef, pork and chicken!
