Thesis Statement

Last week we talked about how a mission statement, in a way, is a thesis statement. A thesis is an opinion presented as a statement that needs evidence to support it. For your blog post, relate a single statement that serves to "manage change" as your primary thesis in your mission statement. What problems might a reader have with it? How will you mitigate those problems?
I have a phone date set up with my organization for this Wednesday, just before class, so I still dont have a specific proposal/project narrowed down. I'm going to post my attempt at a 'thesis statement,' but I'm afraid it might be a little on the generic side.

Tens of thousands of often young and healthy horses in the United States are abused, neglected, or shipped out of the country for horse slaughter each year. We believe that change begins with education, and seek to rescue and rehabilitate abused horses and provide them with useful careers educating America's youth.

Again, I'm afraid its very generic, since I have not narrowed down a specific 'mission' yet with my organization, so obviously lack of specifics could be an issue someone would have with my thesis statement. Once I have a specific project in mind, I think I will be able to provide more facts and statistics, which will be backed up by case studies and examples, to help mitigate concerns about the statement.
