Sonja Meadows, Executive Director of Animals’ Angels, USA: “For the first time a film brings together a comprehensive look at what all is involved in this cruel, predatory business; An excellent documentary, suitable for a broad public audience.”
Sinikka Crosland, Executive Director of the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) states: "SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED delivers a compelling case for the abolition of a cruel, archaic and predatory industry. A civilized society yearns to be just and compassionate, not supporting practices that are inhumane and potentially detrimental to human health."
“REALLY powerful. Packed!” – Paula Bacon
Julie Caramante, Equine Cruelty Investigator/ Animals Angels: “As a cruelty investigator and someone deeply committed to banning the slaughter of American horses, I strongly applaud this important, straight-up film—it has the courage not to back down but to tell the un-whitewashed, miserable truth about horse slaughter”.
Tribal Leader, former Lt Governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo, Paul Rainbird speaks on behalf of Native Americans that oppose the slaughter of horses and burros in effort to help save equines from slaughter. “It offends me that horses are being slaughtered. SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED presents the hard truth and must be seen. I hope awareness really has an impact on people making an effort to become involved." - Paul Rainbird, 1st Lt. Governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo
Michael Blake, Writer DANCE WITH WOLVES, Horse Advocate, American West: “To view Saving America's Horses is essential for stopping the killing. Since the American Government came about it has destroyed Indians, Buffalo and Wolves, and for the last several decades horses are being butchered. No individuals or organizations have been able to stop the removal of what has been put on earth. If the public stands up it can be done. Be sure to see SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED and watch it all.
Now see the powerful OFFICIAL TRAILER for SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED at YouTube and on the official film website. "Saving America's Horses-A Nation Betrayed brings to surface a topic which nobody wants to talk about in a way that everyone will want to see. “ –Kate Dudley
SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED is a compelling compilation of expert testimony, undercover footage and true life stories shot against the dramatic backdrops of America’s beautiful countryside. The film depicts a country divided and inspires great hope for the protection of all horses and burros from cruelty.
"The cruelty of equine slaughter recognizes no borders. Over half of the horses slaughtered in Canadian plants originate in the United States. In this predatory industry there is no guarantee of humane treatment at the receiving end where profit, not animal welfare, is the driving force." - CHDC
Supporters are requested to tell their friends and family about SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED. Donations can be made on line through PayPal or mailed directly to support this CAUSE. Your generous donation will help bring this film to the public eye.

Summer Lovin' for Rescue Horses!
WFLF Lifetime Equine Refuge and Rescue is honored to announce their new equine rescue facility. It's on a private ranch called Iris Creek Ranch. The ranch is donating approximately two acres of land use for stable space to WFLF to benefit these very special horses in need. In honor of the donors' request their identity shall remain anonymous.
The lucky new equine residents are receiving much needed attention and care throughout the day. Each horse is fed quality hay and supplements to fit their individual dietary needs such as weight, breed, activity level and background. All horses get 2-4 hours of turn out time every day for self exercise and socialization. The facility is monitored 24/7 and the stables and fencing are safety checked on a regular basis.
We are an all volunteer 501 (c)(3) nonprofit CA public benefit organization. Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extend permitted by law. Volunteer services and services provided at a discount are very much appreciated.Trainers, farriers, veterinary care and other specialized equine care givers are sought for the horses at this facility. Volunteer groomers, handlers and stable hands are also needed. If you love horses and would like to help please contact us directly at info@lifetimeequinerefuge.org. Donated services and discounted services qualify as In-Kind Donations and re tax deductible.
We also need many things for the horses such as a shed, tack and more pipe panels. Tax deductible receipts are available for donated items. Please contact us directly to make arrangements for your donated items. If you are in the Southern California area we may be able to come them pick up. Please check our Wish List on the Lifetime Equine Refuge website to learn more.
Tell your friends about Lifetime Equine Refuge! Donate! We rely on your generous support to provide for the ongoing needs of these well deserving horses. These horses are among the lucky few that have been saved from slaughter. The majority of the horses that enter the slaughter pipeline are never seen again. Please help us to make sure these horses are cared for and never forgotten. They are a living testament to the will of the American public; that horses are non-food animals and deserve to be treated humanely. No equine should ever have to suffer the fate of slaughter. Sponsors are needed for hay and basic on going care. No amount is too small.
Supporters may set up private tours/ appointments to visit the horses by contacting the rescue at info@lifetimeequinerefuge.org

Canada has its first Bill to ban horse slaughter!
Courtesy:
Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC)
Canada has its first Bill to ban horse slaughter! A big thank you to NDP MP Alex Atamanenko and horse supporters everywhere for this huge, historical step toward banning horse slaughter in Canada.
Bill C-544, "An Act to amend the Health of Animals Act and the Meat Inspection Act (slaughter of horses for human consumption)", was tabled on June 16, 2010 by MP Alex Atamanenko: http://www2.parl.gc.ca/
Click on the various sub-titles on the left of the document.
This bill is a huge step forward in the movement to abolish a cruel, archaic and unnecessary industry, and we applaud Mr. Atamanenko for his monumental initiative.
What can horse advocates do to ensure that this bill becomes law?
There is a process involved: All Private Member's bills must be debated and pass three readings. In order to move forward, a vote must take place and a bill must have the support of the majority of Members of Parliament.
For more information on this process please click on the link below:
While Parliament is in recess for the Summer, this is the time for horse advocates to reach out to their MP to brief them on this issue and to encourage them to support this Bill when the Fall session resumes.

2010 Not a Good Year for Horse Slaughter Proponents
CHICAGO, (EWA) - Equine Welfare Alliance and Animal Law Coalition applaud the grass roots efforts in 2010 that have resulted in a series of political defeats for those who want to bring horse slaughter back to the United States.
Of course, commercial horse slaughter for human consumption remains illegal in the U.S. and no state law can change that.
Nonetheless, proponents of the cruel practice have tried to use state legislatures to try to convince Americans to bring horse slaughter back to the U.S.
In Missouri, for example, a bill, H.B. 1747, introduced by state Rep. James Viebrock, purported to allow the state to register and license and even provide inspections for horse slaughter facilities. There was even talk of building a horse slaughter plant in a small town in the state.
The bill raised a howl of opposition from horse advocates across the state and country, leading some of its sponsors to become irate to the point of returning opponents' emails unread or forwarding them en masse to one opponent. Some legislators even left harassing, intimidating messages on an opponent's voice mail.
Although state Sen. Dan Clemons announced publicly that Viebrock's bill would progress no further, its provisions were quietly buried in another, unrelated bill, SB 795. A firestorm of public anger erupted when this underhanded tactic was discovered, and the provisions were removed.
EWA's John Holland and former Kaufman, Texas Mayor Paula Bacon testified against HB 4812 in Tennessee, a pro-horse slaughter bill. Mayor Bacon described the economic and environmental devastation a horse slaughter facility caused to her town. Holland told legislators about the declining demand for horsemeat and stepped up enforcement of EU regulations and new restrictions that will likely mean fewer and fewer American horses will be eligible for slaughter. Add to that the dangers of American horsemeat from the toxic drugs given to horses here as established in a recent study published in the peer reviewed journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, Association of phenylbutazone usage with horses bought for slaughter: A public health risk, and, said Holland, "it would make no sense and, in fact, would be irresponsible for legislators to promote horse slaughter with this bill". The bill was then sent for "summer study", essentially withdrawing it for the session.
Also this year, an investigation revealing the cruelty of horse slaughter horrified European consumers and caused the second largest grocer in Belgium and Holland to remove American horse meat from its shelves and a major distributor to assure customers it will only sell European horse meat.
The Carry the Kettle first nation tribe in Canada declined an offer of economic assistance to reopen the Natural Valley Farms slaughter plant in Saskatchewan. The plant had been closed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency after it was discovered dumping blood into the local river and leaving waste in shallow pits.
In Illinois, a bill aimed at repealing the state's 2007 ban on slaughter was withdrawn by its sponsor when it failed to muster support.
Florida's legislature unanimously passed legislation toughening laws against those who butcher horses, or sell or purchase horse meat. The legislation was signed into law Friday by Governor Charlie Crist.
The people of Hardin, Montana said no to a proposed horse slaughter plant in their city and even amended city ordinances to prohibit the slaughter of more than ten animals in a seven day period.
Even Jim Schwartz, director of the Wyoming Livestock Board was puzzled by a law sponsored by state Rep. Sue Wallis, that made "send to slaughter" an option for horses in the custody of the Board. "Send to slaughter is not an option in my opinion," said Schwartz. We agree.
Saving America’s Horses Foundation Call to Action

In an all out plea for support to help end horse slaughter, WFLF Saving America’s Horses Foundation issues the following letter of appeal:
Wild for Life Foundation
Saving America’s Horses Foundation (SAHF)
Dear equine enthusiast,
America's horses need your help! We're asking everyone who cares about the welfare of these beautiful creatures to step up, speak up and help BAN the insidious act of horse slaughter. You can help by talking about it and telling your friends about what’s going on, and also by donating to the "Saving America's Horses" Cause. Please help us to bring exposure to this issue. You will make a difference not only for the thousands of horses that will die today, but also for the hundreds of thousands of horses in the years to come.
Come Stand With Us! With the cornerstone of our campaign efforts at Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) centers on the welfare of horses and Saving America’s Horses Foundation (SAHF) is dedicated to the mission of PROTECTING ALL EQUINES FROM SLAUGHTER. Thousands of healthy vibrant American horses lose the benefit of protective humane laws once they enter US auctions and sale barns, where they are sold in vast numbers by the pound for their flesh. These majestic and loyal beings endure barbaric cruelty; oftentimes changing hands repeatedly in the course of an unspeakable journey, eventually crossing federal borders only to face horrific slaughter. A very small number of foreigners profit highly from the sale of horse meat which is served as a delicacy overseas. Though some American breeders have taken honorable steps to help BAN horse slaughter, the majority continues to breed indiscriminately. They justify this surplus of horses based on the desires and whims of the horsemanship industry and while the horrors of slaughter are swept under the rug. All told, it’s a complicated slippery slope perpetuated by special interests seeking to get a piece of the bloody pie.
Sadly, there is such an intense need to save these horses from this barbaric treatment that many slaughter bound horses are sometimes rescued just for the purpose of humane lethal injection, but these humane acts of mercy will never end the vicious circle of slaughter. Horse slaughter is NOT humane and cannot be made humane. Until enough people take a stand, the over breeding will continue as driven by the market for horse meat.
If you would like to give back to the horses for the loyalty they have provided to mankind over the span of time, please support this Cause. Our board of advisors consists of the nation's finest equine veterinarians, trainers and specialists and we have many prominent celebrities on board in support our work. SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED is a feature length documentary film currently in production with the mission to protection all equines from slaughter. "Saving America’s Horses will undoubtedly persuade public outcry to end the brutal and inhumane slaughter of our American horses." - Debra Lopez, Co Founder Americans Against Horse Slaughter
We need more people to help get the word out so that we can make a difference. Together, we can BAN horse slaughter once and for all. Please donate and tell your friends!
Rescue is NOT the answer to stopping horse slaughter and these horses need supporters that will help insure their long term quality care for the duration of their lives. Many generous donors step up to help rescue horses from the slaughter pipeline, but these horses need sponsors to help pay for their ongoing feed and care until they can be adopted into new forever homes. Your meaningful donations can be designated according to your preference whether for rescue, care and sanctuary or for educational media to raise public outcry and BAN this sordid practice for good.
We encourage equine professionals and enthusiasts with a passionate heart for the welfare of horses to collaborate with us. Horse people; if you have usable horse items that you’d like to donate please check out our wish list. SAHF is working to help fill the needs for the scores of well deserving equines across the country.
Volunteers are needed in various capacities and donations are crucial to save the lives of thousands to come. Donations are welcome in any amount and can be easily made on line at our website, through Facebook or by snail mail.
On behalf of all equines, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Saving America's Horses

Thoroughbreds, Mustangs and Paints!
April has been an exciting month for horses at Lifetime Equine Refuge and our horses are feeling the love!
THOROUGHBREDS!
WFLF Lifetime Equine Refuge is honored to extend our sincere gratitude to Randal Kleiser (Grease, Blue Lagoon) for graciously sponsoring corral space for two of our most recently rescued Thoroughbreds, Giselle and Carmel. Randal helped to save their lives and we could not have rescued them without his generous support.
These two beauties arrived last month and have been able to find tranquility on a very special private ranch, thanks to Randal. Randal is also an experienced horseman and he was quick to offer his open corrals the moment he learned about their need. Randal Kleiser has been an internationally known film director since the release of his first feature, Grease, the most successful movie musical ever made. Other features include The Blue Lagoon, Summer Lovers, Honey I Blew Up the Kids and White Fang.
We would also like to thank John R Murrell for his generous donation which made it possible for us to pull Carmel to safety. Special thanks to Saving Horses Inc and the Fans of Barbaro for the funds needed to pull Giselle to safety and for their support toward feed for a month.
Carmel, an off track thoroughbred actually took 1st place in her last race, winning over $30,000 and Giselle never had a chance to start. WFLF Lifetime Equine Refuge has taken in these two Thoroughbreds and we will be providing them with the care and time they need to fully recuperate and transition. Donations are needed for Giselle and Carmel's ongoing feed, vaccines and farrier. Your gifts are greatly appreciated.
MUSTANGS!
Lifetime Equine Refuge would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the many supporters who helped us achieve the successful long term placement for three rescued Mustangs, Shelby, Smudge and Gypsy. We are honored to announce that WFLF LERR Board Member, Michael Blake (Dances With Wolves) has graciously become the new long term care provider for these three lucky Mustangs. They arrived earlier this month at Michael's private ranch in Arizona.
Gypsy and Smudge are two Mustangs that were rounded up and removed from their legal herd area in Northern CA, by the BLM. They went through the adoption process and were trained by a reputable wild horse trainer, but these two free spirited wilds just were not cut out for a life of domestic servitude. Their previous owner later relinquished them to a person they thought would provide a good home for them, but sadly they were "scammed" and these two very special horses wound up on a feedlot bound for slaughter. Shelby is another rescued Mustang that came from the same herd as Smudge and Gypsy at the Carter Res HMA. Shelby too had been down the long road of post BLM adoption and recently found herself orphaned.
Whether it was luck or meant to be, these three Mustangs eventually wound up back together again. WFLF Lifetime Equine Refuge has taken them in and Michael Blake has accepted them as part of his family.
Through the generosity of Michael Blake; Shelby, Gypsy and Smudge will now be able to live out the rest of her lives together in peace. Michael has a lifetime of experience with both wild and domestic horses. He is dedicated to their well being and has created a special sanctuary for them to call home. To learn more about Michael's rich and colorful background with wild horses, read his recent memoir, "Twelve, the King".
This has been a collaborative effort and we are thankful for the assistance of Saving Horses Inc who raised the funds for the Professional Transport services. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Fans of Barbaro for their generous support.
MORE MUSTANGS!
Lifetime Equine Refuge is proud to extend a very special thanks to Dr Elliot Katz of In Defense of Animals for being there to help us save Papala and Tawaci, two Mustangs that were recently bound for slaughter. IDA generously donated the needed funds for their bail and transport. It really came down to the wire for these two horses, but this was a collaborative rescue effort. We would also like to extend a very special thanks to Neda DeMayo of Return to Freedom for being there to help with QT and toward facilitating the adoption of these two Mustangs. They are gorgeous, very much alive and safe!! We appreciate all of your support.
PAINT!
Lifetime Equine Refuge also recently rescued a Paint Quarter Horse mare named Gracie. This beautiful horse had been used for breeding and when she couldn't produce any more, Gracie was dumped. We would like to extend our appreciation to Saving Horses Inc for their generous support in helping to facilitate her rescue and for helping to raise the funds needed for her bail. We rescued Gracie just this month and found a place for her with the help of Mustang Spirit who placed her in foster care. Gracie is doing very well.
Thank you all for your continued support for the horses. Please visit our website to learn more.
