“Save the Horse” and “Kill the Baby”
When Animal Life is Valued Over Human Life
Rebekah L. Holt
“Hear the word of the Lord…for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.” Hosea 4:1
In our world today, many times we find the rights of animals take precedence over those of humans. As illustrated by New York City’s newly elected mayor—people can have no problem working hard to strengthen America’s abortion industry in the name of “human rights”. They choose to deny that a human being’s life is extinguished—killed—through abortion. Yet, these same people can work hard to try to eliminate what they term as inhumanity to animals.
An Example of when Animal Life is Valued over Human Life
NYC’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, has pledged to end horse drawn carriages in Central Park. "The new mayor is ready to jump start New York by seeking to ban horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, but it is not certain whether he will put this issue ahead of his plans to expand the n
George Stubbsumber of abortion centers."1
Bill de Blasio is quoted, "We are going to quickly and aggressively move to make horse carriages no longer a part of the landscape in New York City," de Blasio said. "They are not humane. They are not appropriate to the year 2014. It's over." 2
This same mayor-elect expressed that New York City, known as “the abortion capital of the world,” is “underserved” in terms of abortion clinics.3 Bill de Blasio’s website says that he will continue to work toward overturning local NYC laws that will prevent “sham crisis pregnancy centers… from masquerading as legitimate healthcare providers.”4

Some Fossil Horse Facts
by Joe Taylor
My Pa and brother were rodeo cowboys, I was just an artist and future paleontologist. But I grew up with them and horses were the first thing I learned to draw when Pa showed me how at age five.
This is the complete left hind leg of a three-toed horse Nannipus phlegen. From the Blancan Type locality in Blanco Canyon, near Crosbyton, Texas. Photo Used By Permission. Copyright (c) Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, 1987 We were all taught in public school that horses evolved from the little rock hyrax, falsely called eohippus. It was not a horse at all. Though I never believed the lies about horse evolution it was not until 1980 that the facts were revealed to me by two paleontologists. They laughed about the fact that evolutionists knew there was no horse evolution and admitted that they knew all those fossil horse skeletons were found together and just arranged "little to big", not old to recent! And yet, that same ridiculous lie is taught in museums, schools and on TV to this day!.
In the San Bernardino County Museum in San Barnardino, California, a beautiful gray skull of a three-toed horse was shown to me that was found near Manix Lake, California. It was completely replaced by volcanic ash and was crushed so that it was but two inches thick. Some of the animals living with it were mastodons, camels, and other larger horses.
When I started fossil collecting in earnest in 1980, one of the first sites I found was the Blancan Type Locality, so named in the 1800s for the canyon near my home farm community of Mt. Blanco, Texas seventeen miles north of my hometown of Crosbyton, Texas.
What is a "Type" locality? It is the first place where a certain group of fossil animals are found and it is given the name of the local area, in this case, the name of a small white mesa near the bones called "Mt. Blanco" probably named by Coronado in the 1500s. So, all the bones from that locality become the "type" or the typical of that species. Then when another location is found with approximately the same fossils in it, it is called a "Blancan" locality, even though the bones may be a different color and like at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, the bones are not petrified at al, but are rather soaked with brown tar.
To show that these evolutionist scientists were right, I personally found full-sized Equus scotti horse bones at a lower depth than the three-toed horses. Evolutionists teach that the three-toed horse existed before the one-toed larger horse. Yet, here was proof that the little horse that was supposed to have gotten buried long before the large horse, was not, but he was rather buried after.
The other thing about our little equid, Nannipus phlegen, was that instead of being a simpler animal, he was in fact much more complex than the modern full-sized horse, our Equus. Little Nannipus had twelve hooves instead of four! Furthermore, those splints on your horses' legs that run down the cannon bone and stop halfway down -- on Nannipus, they go all the way down beside the center hooves and are attacked to two half hooves and the two digits forming functional side toes. The half-hooves are about the size of your mom's little fingernail.

A Horse is a Horse, of Course, of Course...

DNA from an ancient horse’s foot suggests horses have been horses for a long time.
An old horse has reportedly set a new record, not for winning a race but for providing the oldest genome yet sequenced. A horse’s foot bone, found at Thistle Creek in the Canadian Yukon, has given up its genetic secrets to the research team of University of Copenhagen’s Eske Willerslev. Improved technology combined with the preservative role of the cold permafrost made it possible to sequence 70% of the horse’s genome. Believing the sequenced DNA to be 560,000 to 780,000 years old, coauthor Ludovic Orlando says, “We have beaten the time barrier. All of a sudden, you have access to many more extinct species than you could have ever dreamed of sequencing before.”
