Re: Jerry Hollendorfer and Hollendorfer Racing Stables

Dear Ms. Jubic:

We represent Jerry Hollendorfer and Hollendorfer Racing Stables. I call your attention to

Hollendorfer, wherein you are trying to damage Mr. Hollendorfer’s reputation in the horse

industry with slanderous comments. We demand that you and your organization, “Friends of

Equines, Foes of Equine Slaughter,” retract your statements immediately and publicly apologize

for the statement as well as to immediately stop the petition drive you are conducting. If you do

intentional infliction of emotional distress, seeking all damages available under the law,

including punitive damages.

Based on your website and petition drive, it is clear you are aware that Mr. Hollendorfer

is a horse trainer of some repute. As part of your petition drive, you make several incorrect and

slanderous comments about Mr. Hollendorfer involving the care of a horse called Heavenly

Perfect. You falsely claim that Mr. Hollendorfer raced Heavenly Perfect on May 13, 2008,

knowing that she had laminitis, a hoof disease, as well as other fractures and chips to the knees

auction” on May 23, 2008. Your reporting was clearly done with actual (and misdirected)

malice including statements such as: “Trainer of the Year Runs Horse to Death,” “Jerry

Hollendorfer Runs Foundered Horse Near to Death and Sends Her Off to Slaughter,” that Mr.

Hollendorfer “tortured” Heavenly Perfect by “forcing her to race time and time again knowing

she was not fit to race,” and that Mr. Hollendorfer is your “International Posterboy of Racehorse

Cruelty.” Your petition drive also encourages others to spread your false comments about Mr.

Hollendorfer. In reviewing the comments of those who signed your petition drive, it is clear that

name and reputation in the horse industry.

Contrary to your assertions, Mr. Hollendorfer provides the utmost care and treatment to

all the horses he trains, including Heavenly Perfect. Therefore, the untrue and defamatory

comments you have made about Mr. Hollendorfer are particularly offensive and reprehensible to

him. Also, contrary to the statements you are spreading on your website petition, Mr.

Hollendorfer only raced Heavenly Perfect four times in over two years, and never while she

while she was injured. In May 2008, Mr. Hollendorfer gave her to a Mr. Ed Harvey, who stated

he was purchasing her as a pleasure horse or brood mare. Mr. Harvey, not Mr. Hollendorfer, was

the one who apparently then sold her to what you are claiming was a “kill auction.” Mr.

Hollendorfer had absolutely no involvement with that sale.

We therefore demand that you remove any defamatory comments about Mr. Hollendorfer

from your website, to withdraw your petition, and to issue a formal retraction in the manner

required by Section 48a(3) of the California Civil Code. Please do so by October 24 or we will

file suit.

Very truly yours,

Jean H. Hurricane
