NEWS FROM THE RANCH
Our new monthly newsletter to keep you connected...
Currently in the news...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration currently bans the presence of 379 common equine drugs in animals slaughtered for human consumption. However, there is no procedure in place to ensure that American horses sold to slaughterhouses and killed for human consumption are free of these FDA-banned substances. The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (S.541/H.R.1094), would not only ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States but would also prohibit shipping horses outside of the States for food slaughter. Unlike the appropriations rider that had prevented horse slaughter until now, the statutory ban would NOT expire. The sponsors are Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the Senate and Representative Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in the House. Please urge your senators and representatives to co-sponsor the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act.

Training and Adoption Program - T.A.P. |
Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue is excited to implement a new horse training program that will utilize the skills of accomplished horse trainers who have the ability to train, and then place horses in to good homes outside of our local adoption market area. Our new program is called Training and Adoption Partners, or TAP Program. Each horse that finds a new forever home opens up a space for the next horse that needs to be rescued. Our program will offer experienced natural horsemanship trainers in and around California the opportunity to earn income from training Lifesavers rescued horses and finding them responsible and appropriate new homes.
