Horse Abuse Information.
I had the most interesting conversation this afternoon with the founder of a horse rescue organization called speak up for horses. The website is: www.speakupforhorses.org. Here is a little snippet of what this great organization does: "We decided in early 2006 to found a 501c3 registered non profit with the primary mission to educate the public on the plight caused by an unknowing public, by inadequate horse welfare laws, and by the woeful enforcement of existing laws at the federal, state, and local levels." "Speak Up For Horses, Inc. supports the rescue of slaughter-bound horses. However, because we do not yet have an equine facility to adequately house rescued horses ourselves, we partner with a variety of established equine organizations to rescue at-risk horses. We assist other equine rescues in matching available horses with adopters who contact us. We also assist CANTER Ohio and local thoroughbred trainers by photographing retiring racehorses at nearby racetracks for posting on CANTER Ohio's website." www.canterusa.org Abuse is abuse, no matter whether it be perpetrated on animal or human. I hope to have more info from this great organization.
Our name says it all: Speak Up For Horses!
