Many ponies are being sent to Fillydelphai, though a few still find their way to the slave auction, a small mercy, but still a better fait then the work camps. Even some slavers do their best to filter ponies out for the auction, some just to make some extra caps, others still holding onto what little decency they have, hoping they at least save a life.

As for the purple mare, I doubt she even knows where she is with all that mane in her eyes, but she can tell you everything about Sparkle-Cola, like totally everything there is.
