Wild Horse Preservation Campaign-
AWHPC is part of the National Wild Horse and
Burro Planning Group, an ad hoc advisory committee working to formulate and
coordinate a national strategy in response to the current crisis. |
| The Wild Horse Mentors - Project
is a concept that was first conceived by the LIFE Foundation, the "Wildhorses"
Internet Group and the Kickin' Back Ranch (KBR). The idea was to develop a
corps of wild horse enthusiasts who could help new wild horse and burro
adopters by sharing their skills and knowledge, or who could assess situations
and make referrals so that adopters can find the help that they need. |

Wild horses: Do they belong in the West? (High Country News) - Those other
animals are relative newcomers to this continent, while horses are the
original natives. At least, so some people believe. The wild horse is an
animal so enmeshed in controversy, so obscured by myth and emotion, that its
management in the West has been contentious for nearly half a century. |

Plains Drifters: El Caballo rides the range with North America's wild
horses (High Plains Films) - In an old grain elevator near the tracks on
Missoula's west side, two independent filmmakers are busy subverting the
dominant paradigm. For nearly a decade, Doug Hawes-Davis and Dru Carr have
been clicking away on their mice, assembling footage and creating digital
documentaries that challenge the Old West paradigms dictating our nation's
wildlife management policies. |

Horse Slaughter Info
| The American Horse
Slaughter Prevention Act - H.R. 857 - To prevent the slaughter of horses
in and from the United States for human consumption by prohibiting the
slaughter of horses for human consumption and by prohibiting the trade and
transport of horseflesh and live horses intended for human consumption, and
for other purposes. |
|
Humane Slaughter Resolution Needs Your Help (Farm Sanctuary) - Congress is
taking action in response to a recent Washington Post article ("They Die Piece
by Piece," 04/10/01) that detailed the extraordinary cruelties rampant in
modern slaughterhouses and the USDA's concurrent failure to enforce the Humane
Methods of Slaughter Act of 1958. |
| Senate Committee Approves Record
$5 Million for Humane Slaughter Enforcement (Humane Society of US) - The
Senate Appropriations Committee agreed yesterday afternoon to provide a record
amount -- $5 million -- for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to focus on
improved enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act (HSA), a law first enacted in
1958 that requires slaughterhouses to render livestock unconscious before they
are killed. The funds are contained in the pending Agriculture Appropriations
bill for Fiscal Year 2003. |
| Federal
Regulations on Transport of Horses to Slaughter Implemented (Equine
Protection Network) - December 7, 2001 is a day that will live in infamy in
the effort to protect horses from slaughter & the abuse that they are forced
to endure on their last ride to a slaughterhouse. The proposed regulations for
the Commercial Transportation of Horses to Slaughter Act have been adopted by
the USDA. These regulations will legalize every inhumane practice identified
in the transport of horses to slaughter, AND, put the very people identified
as the abusers in charge of the horses. These same people have been convicted
of the cruel transport of horses in NY & PA & have lied to law enforcement and
prosecutors. This is the fox guarding the hen house. |
| An End To
Horse Slaughter! (PetitionOnline) - Foreign owned slaughterhouses in the
United States and Canada kills approximately 100,000 American bred horses
annually. The horse meat is NOT being used in dog food or to feed starving
masses. Rather, it is an up to $20/lb delicacy enjoyed by humans in Japan and
Europe. A pound of horse meat usually sells more than a pound of filet mignon!
