Equestrians, don't look away !!!

Start POINTING FINGERS !!!
During my daily visits with the equestrian communities worldwide I came across this project, which from my point of view is worth looking into.
One starts thinking about the roots to this "evil" and somehow I come to the conclusion, that regulatory efforts in our communities by members of the community would work much better than governmental interventions....
We as equestrians must take a stand and educate others in order to create a more responsible approach towards our forlegged friends. This project here could be one way to do so.

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES follows the lives of three majestic horses, with vivid expert testimony, across dramatic backdrops of America ’s beautiful countryside and explores the secret world where bidding circles mark the end of human kindness.
The barbaric cruelty of horse slaughter came to an end two years ago when Congress passed a bill to ban the sordid practice in the United States, yet more than 100,000 healthy vibrant American horses face unspeakable torture every year. Their once noble and triumphant lives are being forgotten as they’re auctioned off to the highest bidder, where their meat is later sold by the pound. Their remains are discarded in dumpsters and their faithful souls are forever betrayed. Yesterday’s thoroughbred racehorse, last summer’s family pet pony, and today’s last wild Mustangs are, on a daily basis, being crammed into double decker cattle trailers and hauled out of the U.S. into Canada and Mexico’s slaughter plants. These beautiful animals are doomed just to please the palate of foreigners in France, Belgium, Italy and Japan.
The film's mission is to protect all horses from slaughter through exposure and education. The objective is to inspire a shift in the apathetic and disposable mindset of today’s unassuming society into taking protective action for horses.
The film will ask two main questions. Should deep pocket foreign interests continue to profit in this so-called industry under the sanction of unassuming tax payers? Who will take responsibility for the horrific cruelty and betrayal of one of America’s most faithful companion animals?
In SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES, director, Katia Louise will reveal the untold truth about what should be "the quiet retirement of thoroughbreds", "the freedom of wild horses" and "the peaceful demise of once loved horses".
Your donations are greatly needed and appreciated. EVERY dollar you donate goes toward protecting horses from slaughter. All advisory board members have volunteered their services in support of this film. All proceeds will go to horse rescue.
