Listener Letters: Horse Rustlin' and "Puff" Endings
American Public Media
December 15, 2007 - Weekend America hosted by Rick Radke, of Los Angeles and Desiree Cooper, of St. Paul MN features Debi Metcalfe.
Our motto here is, "Never underestimate the power of one." We would like to reconize and send a special THANK YOU to Cindy Balogh. Because of Cindy's letter to the PBS Radio show, Weekend America, thousands now know about Stolen Horse International and the problem of theft in America. Please take a moment to listen to this short, but very important broadcast moment for NetPosse.com.
Click here to view Cindy's letter (also below) and to listen to broadcast at Weekend America!.
Coverage like this is priceless for this organization and for all the victims and people who support us. Please write to Weekend America and thank them for having Debi Metcalfe on their show. It was short...but it was so nice to be able to let so many more people, many who do not own horses, in on one of America's little known secrets, horse theft.
Click here to comment on the coverage. THANK YOU!
You can listen here as well. First you will hear listener endings to the song, "Puff the Magic Dragon"
CINDY'S LETTER - I caught a little of your show on Sunday and heard a bit about a social-club-only vigilante horse thief-catching organization. This particular club has been inactive for decades and was quite a silly group, it seems. Funny story. I am very glad they have no real stolen horse problem in that town.
Unfortunately, while it seems that horse thievery may be anachronistic, it is alive and well.
Ten years ago, Stolen Horse International, Inc. was founded by the owner of stolen horse "Idaho." ( http://www.netposse.com/ ) They have used the net to help find and return many horses to their owners. Many horses have never been found, possibly sold to slaughter houses or just to unsuspecting people.
I have been fortunate and have not had a horse or tack (saddles, etc) stolen. I'm sure the people at netposse.com could fill you in on many details you may be interested in.
I know your show is mostly urban and humor related. A serious bit on real, current horse thieves may not fit your program. However, if you do mention the most unpleasant reality of stolen horses, please understand that this is a very serious and heart-wrenching experience.
Cindy Balogh from
Seattle, Wash.
