I don't disagree, although in all fairness it is reportedly his father, Keith, from their training center in Laredo. And again in all fairness I felt their
delayed response should be posted.
There also seems to be some disagreement in the horse world as to whether or not Kill buyers go this auction at Round Mountain. That being said I tend to believe the "underground" group directed by this Deborah Jones that kill buyers do in fact go to this auction, but that is my personal opinion. And there is sadly the possibility that they were in fact unaware or just never bothered to find out that kill buyers go to this auction.
It is a difficult thing and truly the stuff of nightmares that these people, mostly women, do to try and find TB's at these auctions that are often legit but the straggling ones left do end up to with the kill buyers. The worst part being they go to Mexico where it is a beyond brutal slaughter.
Whatever the outcome would have been with these mares they are now safe thanks to the efforts of many and the ability of Donna and Dallas Keen's group to rally up and get them quickly transported out to safe haven at Remember Me Rescue and their affiliate farms that can take horses on a minutes notice.
