You’ve all watched and helped as I saved animal lives for the last couple decades. Now I need your help on a more serious level. My dear friend has faced unbelievable loss, health issues and financial struggles over the last ten years and now it’s killing her. She’s in Denver in the hospital because stress caused a bleeding and perforated ulcer that resulted in loss of a large part of her stomach. She will come out of the hospital further behind on bills and likely facing an eviction with no where to go. She has no immediate family, and no one else capable of providing her a stress free place to stay. I have to revitalize one of the old bunk houses from the homelessness relief program immediately and go to Denver to bring her to the ranch where she can heal and be protected from fear of homelessness, loss of her beloved cat and general stress. This is a human life. A very worthy, kind and loving human life that has served in animal rescue and humanitarian causes endlessly, and can hardly bear asking for the help she desperately needs. Every penny donated will be used to update one of the old bunk houses into a fully functioning guest space (the inn is full here at the ranch without adding this space) and get alternative storage for the tools in that bunk house that I make my living with and to facilitate her safety in Denver upon her release until we can go get her and bring her to the ranch. Stress nearly killed her, and with a resectioned stomach and a pile of stress waiting for her when she is finally released from the hospital, the prognosis is not good. This is the surface of her medical issues, after spinal surgeries and nearly dying of sepsis put her in this situation to begin with. I AM BEGGING YOU. We have saved horses, dogs, cats, pigs, goats and more together. Now I am begging you to help me save this beautiful sweet woman from literal hell on earth and protect her life so she can heal. I can’t lose Erin. That’s too much cruelty and unfairness to face. PLEASE HELP. WE ARE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE 501c3. The goal is at least $5000 to get through her release and safe transport to the ranch and into a comfortable and functional tiny home type space as fast as possible. We may need to pay a month of rent in Denver for her if she’s too medically fragile to make the move right away.

I’ve tried to not be ruined by what man has begun to routinely do to the horse. I’ve tried to not be stricken with rage and grief and pure hatred for what many have made of rescue. Once the greatest refuge and short stop on cruelty and heartlessness for all animals, now so much of it is a scam, enriching vile performance artists and in turn enriching the kill buyers and auction houses that are the greatest purveyors of equine suffering and desperation. If they truly cared, would they not get between the owners and the auction houses? Would they not take those millions of dollars and go to the Amish or any other horrificly immoral group or individual pumping tragically, neglected, and overused horses into auction houses, and just buy them directly instead of lining the pockets of evil absolute? Instead, they’ve made a business deal with the devil himself, and they are all much richer as a result. Netting sometimes over $100,000 in donations per horse, and most of the time, not even being able to tell those donors where that animal went in the end. Plenty of those same horses have been found at those same auction lots being circulated back into the system after they were used to cheat people out of money, exploiting, the few remaining shreds of empathy and compassion left for horses, while good rescues doing hard work sit forgotten. So that I did not collapse into insanity and hopelessness, I have stepped away and will quietly work whatever cases I can. I will speak out against the ignorance, foolishness, and corruption that rescue has become. I will call out donors for their misplaced empathy, gullible nature, and thoughtless support of something far worse than anything that came before their dollar was misplaced. That’s the best I can do, and still remain whole. Maybe someday, the truth, integrity, logic and reality will become valuable to others again.

This haunting photograph from 1899 shows Friedrich Nietzsche in a mental asylum, nearly a decade after the collapse that silenced one of philosophy’s most provocative voices. Once a giant of thought, he spent his final years consumed by frailty, unable to continue shaping the ideas that had stirred generations. The image captures not triumph, but the fragility that overtook brilliance.

The unraveling began on January 3, 1889, in Turin, Italy. As the story goes, Nietzsche saw a carriage driver mercilessly whipping a horse. Stricken with emotion, he rushed forward, embraced the animal, and kissed it with tears in his eyes. Moments later, he fell into collapse, a turning point from which he would never return.

The tale of Nietzsche and the horse endures as one of history’s most haunting symbols: a philosopher who wrote of will and strength undone by a sudden flood of compassion. It lingers as a reminder that even the most unyielding minds are bound by human tenderness, and that his tragic fall closed the life of one of philosophy’s most enduring figures.

So this is how it ends. Supporting just the horses sanctuaried here is becoming impossible without sacrificing my own health and welfare. Meanwhile, a
“Rescue” who’s name I will not mention since the 200k they pay the husband and wife who run it definitely can afford them bulk legal action against anyone who dares to expose them can afford a 2.5 mil property and continue to stuff the pockets of kill buyers and auction houses with literally millions of dollars a year, pay their neighbors half a mil to quarantine etc etc continue to scam their way to wealth one kill lot horse at a time. Apparently, I’ve been doing this charity thing wrong. I was under the impression that I was supposed to pay for everything I could and only ask for what I needed because what I was doing was for horses, not for myself. My fool ass has been working myself to the bone for a decade and change, only asking for what we needed and filling in for whatever we didn’t get to make sure that we did good for animals that needed care. I was also careful to make sure that we didn’t put money into the hands of monsters to fuel the purchase of more animals for them to send to horrific circumstances or use in ongoing scams with so-called rescues. All that drama and hostage negotiation sure makes for a good time and I bet everyone involved feels like they’ve really accomplished something. Between that and the many lower level scams that I can no longer stomach, I simply don’t wanna be associated with people who call themselves rescuers anymore. We have three horses that need to find homes immediately. Two of them are older mares. They are sound easy keepers. Both are light ride worthy. We have a younger grade stud that needs chryptorchid surgery with complications that will be time consuming and expensive to deal with. Further discussions will only be had with qualified adopters. I will no longer help with Vet bills, feed, surrender, or criminal cases. I refuse to associate with what rescue has become. If the very different way that I have conducted this rescue since its formation is not apparent and worthy of support while total scam artists filling the pockets of kill buyers are worth millions, I’m out. I have never been so sick and disappointed as I have been since seeing the truth on paper about so many rescues. There is one rescue that I know of with integrity and hard work behind it and I’m sure there are a few more I am unaware of, but it is the exception, not the rule. All that rescue has gotten me personally is debt, poor health, a destroyed body, a broken heart and a shattered mind. I ended and prevented a lot of suffering. I made a lot of messed up situations known and assured they would get whatever amount of justice we could provide. I’ve been persecuted by crooked law-enforcement in the neighboring county for doing the right thing in a situation where no one else was even close. I’ve been treated like a pariah for telling the truth. I’m over it. Between the economic realities of horse ownership and the ever widening ignorance and cruelty of humanity, it isn’t going to get any better. It may improve in a few counties that have elected sheriffs that truly care about animal welfare and will prosecute anyone found to be neglecting or abusing any animal.  I cannot continue to watch my health and sanity slip away while working myself to an end to support the forsaken horses of people who should never own an animal. We can’t even get the very little support that we ask for honest needs for a few animals, but I can sit here and look at a $400,000 accumulative salary paid to two jokes that feed the most cruel and vicious system that ever got its hands on a horse shamelessly while making $100,000 or more off every animal they touch. I’ve never paid myself or paid for any of my needs with rescue donations. My housing, vehicles (with the exception of a donated truck) the bills or infrastructure attached etc we’re always my responsibility and donors dollars went to the feed, veterinary care and needs of the animals only. Apparently it’s not that people cannot donate. It’s that I will not participate in hostage negotiations with monsters who only use money to hurt more animals at the cost of my own integrity. I will not make fools of donors to pretend I’m in it for the welfare of horses while every move I execute enriches those who hurt them most after heavily lining my own pockets. I couldn’t live with myself if I did. My integrity and honor is above what rescue has become in most circumstances. There are links to donate in previous posts if you feel compelled to put a little bit of money where it’s actually used for the animals, but I’m done begging for help solving problems I did not create. I’ll be cutting out animals down to the very high needs, extremely elderly with complications, and psychologically damaged few that are not good candidates for adoption at all and deserve to live their end where they know their companions and people. Integrity, health, and truly helping animals without enriching their most dangerous and prolific abusers matters.

We have recieved $970 towards these needs, giving me a little bit of a break with handling it all on my husbands’ and my own income. I’m so used to being a “me” instead of a “we” it’s hard to change that language… reflecting on my drain and heartache with rescue, I think a lot of it comes from losing Crow in 2021. He was my foundation. My soul. My purpose. I will never be the same without him and no horse will ever take his place. Losing Odin, my beautiful mastiff boy this year added weight and dulled my joy and drive as well. The constant stress of finance, the lack of justice and a wild circumstance I still don’t have the words to describe with a case in 2024 and health issues have not helped. This little burst of support has renewed my spirit quite a bit. I appreciate each one of you so much. If it’s possible to continue that support to knock down this list a little more and allow me to focus on my own welfare some, I might be able to return to intake instead of just the weekly or bi monthly assistance case. We helped lay two beloved horses to rest Monday for a local woman who’s health issues failing, crowd funded off a handful of our dedicated supporters. Provided some feed for another in a bind the same way. I will NEVER stop helping. I wish I could return to the level of action I could offer before. I hope to. Thank you for the love.

It’s been two weeks since I posted that I need some help with a couple months of animal care after a couple years of mostly handling it myself. The animals received $625 in love and generosity against over $2500 in needs for this season. I chose to spend it on a load of feed and keep grinding on the vet and farrier needs for this quarter. So far, four have had their farrier care, and the others are coming due. I’m still facing unusual financial challenges through November and confronting some physical/health issues I can no longer ignore, but I may have to, since the animals in the rescue come first. It’s absolutely disheartening and exhausting to work this hard and still be broke after their care and whatever I can do for my own needs. I’m not charming enough to be an “influencer” and my heart and mind are too torn up from a couple decades of exposure to the worst of mankind’s inhumanity and heartlessness to animals to be a better rump smoocher. The animals in my care are not desired by adopters because I’m honest about their issues, though I do continue to try. I’ve been stood up or lied to by every single potential adopter that made appointments or inquiries in the last YEAR. The animals continue to recieve excellent feed and timely vetting. I will never allow that to change. Hay and feed prices along with care costs for farriers, the utilities and comfort needs etc continue to rise. I continue to simply work harder, or as hard as I can while ill and injured. Nothing I do is ever enough, and that in itself is a helpless feeling. Anything I do to give myself rest or peace bites me in the f***y, and constantly saying “no” to animals that desperately need intake breaks my heart a little more each time. I’m so grateful for the help received. It took weight off the last two weeks in a big way. The rescue used to be able to raise money for huge issues, but I think, now, we are all in the same boat with the climbing cost of living and various other challenges. Hoping with all my heart that a few more supporters can honor the 15 years of hard rescuing done here by helping me take care of the remaining residents just while it’s so difficult to do it alone.

It’s time to ask for some help with rescue expenses after quite awhile of going it alone off my income. I’m rolling with some punches that will make current rescue needs very difficult. The following is a list of current needs all donations will help meet.

Hay and feed for the month of August $1800

It’s been a long time since any support requests were posted, though I have worked many cases at my own expense, and with the help of a handful of our regular donors. There are six horses, two pigs, two sheep, two goats and a sulcata tortoise still in the program. Age, permanent needs, disability that means they are not rideable etc prevents adoption of the remaining horses. The goats and pigs are elder, the sheep is the dog attack victim from 2024 Pima county animal care and her then unborn baby boy. He is a whether (neutered) now and his mama loves him very much. She’s easily terrified and extremely shy. The tortoise is giant and bossy and of a breed often irresponsibly kept. These animals are best served here, apparently, since many adoption attempts have fallen through or needed rejection after learning more about the potential adopters care ability and plan. I’ve been working hard, and meeting all the needs financially, and once again, my physical health has taken the toll. The social and emotional nature of rescue takes a mental toll that cannot be stopped, and that accounts for my absence from the internet side of things. It’s time to ask for a bit of help with the animal care expenses. The choice to go it alone paying for all needs has left little room to save for their future needs in the event of work slowing down or anything at all going differently than planned. Farrier care is due. Hay is a constant expense. Our typical annual dental routine is four months behind schedule. I don’t even know where to begin explaining the harassment, false accusations, character assassination and hate endured to work several sensitive cases in silence. Silence is what served those animals, and enduring the fire I came out of after their needs were met was the most stressful and trying thing I have ever experienced. I am depleted, ill, and working a physically and mentally demanding. I will continue to provide for these animals and serve any others I can, but I could sure use a little help. Below are the links to donate. The EIN for 501c3 status is at the end. Unfortunately the soap shop had to cease to allow me to pursue more financially beneficial work, so that is no longer a fun way to support. I apologize for my silence but I assure you it did not amount to my absence. I have been quietly grinding to assist every animal I could and any family it made sense to support to protect their animals, and giving my mind and soul time to heal from what felt like a war that victory did not ease the trauma of. Please show your tax deductible support for the permanent residents at the rescue so that I may be able to continue to prevent animals from needing rescue and do any intake absolutely necessary.

Wouldn’t it be rad to have a sheriff that’s not against animal welfare, Pima County? You functioned for four years under a man with a good heart and re elected a monster. Good times! Vote for character not party. This a a good solid man with a clean reputation and good heart.

We found homes for thirteen goats and two pigs so far, with high hopes an adoption for the mustang abandoned here by the family we bent over backwards for around Christmas being adopted Friday. That leaves a few companion horses left to be adopted and Wild Hearts Rescue Ranch will change forever. You see, evil, lazy and incompetent men/women in law enforcement in counties across the southern part of the state and nation in general are ignoring the suffering of horses and livestock. I’m tired of bailing the ocean with a spoon. I’m going after the people failing to enforce our adequate laws and I’m coming for them HARD. The Pied Piper of Incompetence in our neighboring county is the biggest offender I know of and it’s election season. In fact, there may not be a more vile, childish, vengeful or petty fool doing more harm to the welfare of horses through his dedicated denial in the south. If there is someone worse than Nonuts, I’m gonna find them and be the rock against which they break, too. 501c3 management limits political speech and action, and the problem is political. In two months I will absolve the 501c3, possibly return to state incorporation, and every breath I take will be fueling the fight to undo the damage to my life’s work in Pima county. There hasn’t been prosecution of animal welfare crimes to speak of in the county in 24 months or so. The number of egregious cases reported to Wild Hearts after law enforcement did nothing, alone, is indicative of a big ole problem. The resources used to defend nonuts against several lawsuits and investigations could definitely fund enforcement of our adequate animal welfare laws. I even found where to source the funding for them to fix their nasty little problem! Neato, right? I’m sure I will show up to intervene for horses and animals, especially those who’s suffering is evidence against the Pied Piper of Incompetence and his ilk. I am one woman, with little support. I cannot save them all. Not even close. What I CAN do is systematically dismantle the machine that deprives horses and livestock of the basic rights every living creature managed by man should have. Every living thing deserves to not be subject to depravity, starvation, filth, torture, neglect, and suffering and the laws of the state and counties support that. Now if only we could get certain leaders in elected positions of law enforcement to see… failing consistently to enforce our adequate animal welfare laws is about to get pretty damn embarrassing at the least. It might even get down right fu**in inconvenient come election time. Hear me, elected LE officials who enjoy habitually ignoring the suffering of horses and livestock. I’m right behind every case you ignore. I’m documenting. I’m demonstrating. Soon I will be screaming your inadequacy and participation in cruelty from every street corner. People should not expect some turd in a position of near absolute power to protect them and their basic rights when they will not protect the right to FOOD, WATER AND HUMAN DECENCY for a whole species of animal. I AM COMING FOR YOUR JOBS AND REPUTATIONS. The lot of you are essentially complicit in animal abuse and suffering and it’s damn disgusting and disgraceful. Someone way more important than me said that the success and morality of a nation or society can be judged by how its most vulnerable members are cared for. I, personally, am sick of being clowned on by a stuffed shirt busy covering his own ass for his crimes and shortcomings a county over. It’s damn embarrassing that I spent a decade making examples of these cases and putting them front and center on the news and in the court rooms to have it fall apart again over a joke with no punchline mistaken for a whole ass sheriff.
