The Official Site of Dogs Against Romney founded
2007. Hi, I'm Rusty. Mitt Romney is mean to dogs. Help me get my message out
about the Mitt Romney dog on roof story. Putting a dog on the car roof is abuse.
Remember Crate-Gate. I ride inside. Mitt is Mean. Contribute to DogPAC.Dog on
the Roof book.
The Romneys Appalling Record of Animal Abuse
First there was Seamus, the
poor Irish Setter the Romney's strapped to the roof of their car (at least once)
for a 12-hour drive to Canada - leaving him up there after he became ill and
soiled himself and the car. Mitt Romney admits to merely hosing poor Seamus down
and continuing the trip for hours more.
Now, its horses. A dressage
horse named Super Hit, in particular, had the misfortune of falling into the
cold, cruel hands of the Romneys. Super Hit, used by Ann Romney for her
"therapeutic" hobby of performing dressage (horse ballet), was sold by the
Romneys for $125,000 in 2008.
After the sale of Super
Hit, the new owners soon discovered he was physically incapable of performing
dressage. They consulted Dr. Stephen Soule, veterinarian for the United States
Equestrian Team since 1978. Dr. Soule found that Super Hit, at the time he was
sold by the Romneys, had a staggering amount of painkillers in his
system.
"In my 38-years of
practice, " Dr. Soule wrote, "I have never come across a drug screen such as
this where the horse has been administered so many different medications at the
same time."
The new owners sued Ann
Romney and her trainers in 2010, claiming that Super Hit had a defect in one of
his feet and that the horse had been drugged with the massive amount of
painkillers so that he could continue to perform, hiding his condition.
The Romneys settled the
case against Ann last September.
