The sanctuary for horses will accept only those animals that are at least 25-years-old, and must come from situations involving cruelty and/or neglect. The Evelyn Alexander Home for Animals will only take horses that meet the criteria from rescue operations and municipalities. Leslie Alexander handles all of the costs for his sanctuary for horses, and he does not accept donations or conduct fundraisers."
Dismissal is too harsh. If you eat meat, where do you think it came from? Eating meat you actually support murder and the destruction of the environment. Last I checked an icon hurt no one.
