Curtailed coverage and restricted viewing by the “anti-gun” elements of certain social media platforms are nothing new. However, it still sucks – especially when the victim is a non-profit organization.
An online raffle being held to raise funds for an Oklahoma horse rescue is struggling to overcome numerous obstacles since it went live.
First, there was a restriction of posts, then the lockdown of individual accounts that shared initial posts, then a lockdown of their payment processing account, and the freezing of the revenue generated by ticket sales.
As you might imagine, many of the prizes in that raffle are firearms. You do the math.
In any case, some of that has been rectified, but the entire effort has been hamstrung and could use a hand. We’re passing the news along to help them get back rolling again.

The Rescue and its Work
The Swingin’ D is a horse rescue in Wagoner County, OK, just a ways out east of Tulsa. They rescue, rehabilitate, and retrain abused horses from the slaughter pipeline and, other times, when they’ve been abandoned.
All the considerable costs associated with those efforts are paid out of volunteers’ pockets or with the proceeds of an annual fundraiser.
This year, that fundraiser is an online nationwide raffle.
Swingin’ D’s Horse Rescue is a 501(c)(3) charity that’s entirely volunteer-run and administered. At any given time, between 12 and 16 horses are being ministered to and trained.
There are a few ways you can help ’em out!
