AC4H News!  

DSC04756 by you.Can you help these babies?  These fillies we have literally purchased one week for.  We need help with the purchase of a week which is $100.00 to feed them.  We do have an approved application pending 501c(3) rescue who has experience with unhalterbroke and they are willing to take these 5 "milk fillies" if funds can be raised.  They are owned by a kill buyer who has an order for "milk babies" ... meaning white meat.  Horsemeat changes color after a certain age... can you help them?

Court Date- maybe not! They are seeking plea bargain!  http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/national-news/2009/June/25/Prosecutors-seeking-plea-in-Paragallo-cruelty-case.aspx

As a reminder to everyone, the court date for Mr. Paragallo's charges is next Monday, June 22nd. If you would like to voice your opinion in a polite and respectful manner it's recommended that you contact the DA for Greene County, NY.  It is common with some cases that plea bargains can be offered which can greatly reduce any punishment and fines.  It would be advantageous for the horses if they could have their full day in court.  Please call/email or fax your concern/opinion to ensure that the maximum penalty will prevail as allowed by law.  It's important to hear from the public.  Thank you.

   AC4H founded the Horse Rescue Coalition a Nationwide network of 501c(3) rescues organizations.  If you are a 501c(3) organization and anti-slaughter please consider joining Click to join HorseRescueCoalition

 A horse that is slaughtered immediately ceases to contribute to the economy. A horse that lives adds constantly to the economy. He requires food, a veterinarian, a farrier, a dentist, and people to care for him. The ripple effect of that living horse across the economy is huge. Hay and grain will be grown and bought for him; he will require medication and vaccinations; he will require a place to live, like a boarding stable. Money for the ecomony.

So.... What is going on?  State regulations shut down the US Slaughter plants.  However, the horses have always been exported to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for human consumption and they are looking to open slaughter houses in the USA AGAIN!  State by state..... See AntiSlaughter info

Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc. has been featured on Inside Edition, HBO, The Thoroughbred Times, The New York Times, The Blood horse magazine, Paulick Report, our local media the Reading Eagle, Channel 69 and much more.  Please see AC4H Media link for additional information.

 Our extensive work with slaughter bound horses has been used as examples and testimony to educate Senators, Congress, 4 H groups, schools and the general public.  American's Against Horse Slaughter chose My Little Bean  as Spokes horse, from The race track to the slaughter pen - "Stable to Table" to  educate in Washington DC... My Little Bean Flyer for DC http://www.udel.edu/alex/pdf/beanie.pdf

 Our very public rescue of "Little Cliff"  assisted in creating awareness about Thoroughbred horses going directly to slaughter from the race tracks.  Zero tolerance policies started to be implemented at some of the tracks due to public outrage and demand for change.  Watch the HBO Real Sports report on Horse Slaughter and the Racing Industry HBO's “Running For Their Lives.” "Real Sports" series recently won the Sports Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Sports Journalism for Bernard Goldberg’s piece
