We Rescued the World's Oldest Mule from Slaughter | January Auction

1. I try to watch every YouTube video and I am always so favorably impressed by the choices that your organization makes. It's awful that people try to sabotage your work and I suppose that's why you are now doing some undercover work when purchasing the vulnerable from auction. Good choice to use this method; too bad that you need to do so. Also, I imagine that you now put in more time with the multiple trips to auction per month (as opposed to only one trip per month) and I applaud this as well – though it's an added expense time, money and energy wise! The animals that need the last act of kindness are always sad, but I am so grateful that your full circle of life position makes it possible for these vulnerable ones to receive a loving and as-comfortable-as-possible goodbye – instead of the pain and terror of a trip "to the bad place" of a slaughter house. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do.

2. The new vet tech is wonderful. Good work, all!

3. Cory the long-ear-specialist, I love it 😃

4. Your new Vet tech, can I just say, her eyes are absolutely stunning! (people dont give enough compliments these days =P )

5. The little mini donkey is what we call a Jesus donkey in the south because of the cross on his back.

6. tawny iI love that stocking hat with the mask where can i get one?

7. Thanks

8. The new vet tech is really a wonderful addition to the intake process. With Cory taking care of the donkeys, their life is immediately less stressful. He's really been a great teacher in how donkeys and mules "think" so much differently than horses. Well done on the regular auction, and I really love the new covert rescues as well. Keep it up guys!

9. love the new intake 😀😀😀😀😀

10. love Bella – little chihuahua🥰🥰🥰🥰

11. brilliant work – love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

12. What causes a horse to founder?

13. I believe that the animals you rescue that (when you see them their worst), they see how you treat them and they know their suffering is over. You can see the sparkle in their eyes 😍🤎🤍
    Parying for your recovery Taynee.💜🙏🏼 You & workers are all angels.

14. Getting that old mule up, and having to help her stand was one of the rawest things I've seen while watching Horse Plus. To think she was loved once, and now she's been left in that condition and all alone really got to me. I'm in tears.

15. At least they get the last act of kindness after suffering and not go for meat x

16. Why does the kill buyer want them so badly?

17. What country are you guys in

18. I haven't seen Maddie in a couple episodes, hope she's okay. Is she still working at horse plus?

19. Love the new intake process seems to run really smoothly. I like the fact that you now have digital medical records. I know it’s an expense but you could use iPads in the intake area to save time in having to then transfer the written medical notes to digital. Same goes for the auction house.

20. that lil' old mule – to put her on heart meds wouldn't be to save her, it would be more buying her days that would probably still be kinda scary, feeling weak from her poor body score, from her poor heart perfusion, from being tired from the long years she has seen. A Kind goodbye From a loving hand is the best option for her, an option in her best interest because it stops her fear and suffering. <3

21. Bless all of you!!❤❤❤ you are an inspiration

22. seeing this paint mare its so heartbreaking 🙁 .. i hope that at one point you can find a vet in the auction area who can put them to sleep so that horses like her dont have to endure transport. even with medication its still pain for them. fingers crossed that a vet will step up and help you guys.

23. Glad to see the streamlined intake process now. Much more efficient

24. I had no idea that founder was caused by diet. wow. You guys are doing great work.

25. The vet tech is great and the doctor is a God sent . Everyone else are very special blessings .

26. Tawnee I'm sending thoughts of great health for you and for a faster recovery

27. I know a person that had Covid and both lungs had blood clots in them .It took two hours to take them all out of the lungs . That was what gave them such a hard cough .

28. G’day Horse Plus Humane Society Team’s & Co 😉 Congratulations 👏 another great job helping these beautiful suffering beings in a fur coat. Unfortunately too sad 😢 to see the unnecessary suffering, their owners should’ve done the the right conscionable thing and have them ethically euthanised & not be sent to auction! But so be it!

    The Auction House owners would have been pretty pissed off too at some muppet deliberately opening the gates, as they are still liable for damages if anything untoward had happened! I’m pretty sure they too will step up their security game..!

    Ms Jenna Vet Technician is awesome 👏 very personable pretty funny & love your methodical commonsense approach too.
    Would love to see all the paperwork being done on a tablet save’s double handling paperwork, but it is what it is!

    Covert Auction buying is another great way to stay incognito 🥸

    Somehow many more people must be made aware that you take surrendered animals, and can help out with the last act of kindness!
    Could any of your videography teams create a video of what you are offering as a direct service for people?

    Love the videography music and editing well done 👍 and yes 👍 could have been longer! Lol..

    Tawnee & Jason, you have one of the most wonderful awesome teams of people working together on this planet 🌏 much love respect & kudos to each and every one of you! Eat we’ll play lots & be happy, lemon lime drinks & salt inhaler’s, could help too!

    With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo

29. The new Vet Tech is already a Star of the show!

30. Oh that’s wonderful. Thank you so much for caring for these precious lives. 🤶🧑‍🦳😊

31. God Bless all of you.

32. I just love the music you find to go with the video. Outstanding.🤠

33. Video idea! Could you guys do a facility tour?

34. I am starting wonder whether all these people who say they have covid actually have vaccine injury or immunity issues. Everyone I know who is vaccinated has been sick with 'covid' or have some sort of illness after the vaccine. All those who don't haven't been sick at all. I hope you feel better soon Tawnee.

35. What ever happened to the Buffalo

36. there is a reason why people dont adopt chipped animals

37. I take it the auction owner is looking into the unexpected freedom. The mules seemed very happy. Thank you for sharing

38. I just wonder WHY SOMEONE LEFT THOSE gates open. Just makes me ….not happy. grrrr. I will be donating and hope for the best for those lucky choose ones. Now back to the video.

39. Isn't there something that could be done at the auction, to prevent people from retaliation and letting animals out? I would think the auction could be liable, if horses got out and caused an accident, not to mention the horses themselves. While in their facility, you would think they would make sure everything is kept secure overnight. Maybe talking to the auction owner might help? It doesn't look too good on them, if they allow this to happen! I only say this, because it has happened before. It sounds like the covert rescues may be the way to go, if it helps to keep the auction cost down, and you can hopefully rescue even more! Good going! Feel better Tawnee!

40. Amazing!

41. Seems like there is a new videographer. Looks good nice angles on some shots. The drone shot at the beginning sure shows the changes in the facility. Way to go.

42. I thank y'all for everything you do. Those 5 souls received love.

43. Jenna is such an amazing addition to the team! I’m sure her expertise is making everything smoother and I know the supporters appreciate her!

44. Great idea to go incognito! Cuts off unwanted problems from idiots that don't care about these poor souls!

45. Love what you all do. It really does take a Special Soul to have the Heart and to be able to KEEP doing it as long as you and your amazing crew keep doing it.
    So sad to see that Tawnee cought Covid. Have you guy's tried the Lime and Aspirin Drink?? Happy to say it's helped everybody that's tried it.
    Message me and I'll gladly give you the recipe.

    God Bless you all.

46. You guys are fantastic 👏 ❤️ thank you
