Please ask
your radio station to play it 4 the horses.
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?

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!

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.
