MUSICIANS DONATE PROCEEDS OF SONG TO HELP BAN HORSE SLAUGHTER 

WAMI award winning vocalist Ronnie Nyles and WAMI Nominee songwriter/producer, Debra Lopez donate proceeds from their song, “Racing For Time”, in support for banning horse slaughter.

Racing For Time”, tells the story of a racehorse who loses his best friend to slaughter only because he couldn't run fast enough to win races. He quickly realized with fear that he also may be running for his life.

Each year hundreds of thousands of young, healthy American horses are slaughtered and their meat is sent overseas for human consumption when they are no longer considered useful. American horses continue to be transported across our borders to Mexico and Canada for slaughter even though the last three remaining horse slaughter plants in the U.S. have been shut down.

Racing For Time” is available via download at www.racingfortime.org and www.savingamericashorse.org for .99 cents with all proceeds being donated in support of this CAUSE.

Whether retiring from a career due to injury, or if for some other reason a horse doesn't measure up, many horses wind up in the slaughter pipeline. “Saving America’s Horses, A Nation Betrayed” is a feature length documentary film exposing the truth about one of America's dirtiest little secrets. This film features expert testimony and colorful anecdotes by some of the nation's top equine rescue organizations, trainers, veterinarians, pro horse advocates, celebrities and more. It's a CAUSE driven film for the Protection of All Equines from Slaughter. WFLF also supports safe refuge for Thoroughbreds that have been discarded upon the completion of their careers in the race industry. Lifetime Equine Refuge is a sponsored project under WFLF that provides protection from slaughter for all equine breeds through rescue, adoption and rehab programs.

Whether you want to save one horse at a time or you want to end horse slaughter for good, you can help save all American equines from this horrific fate with a meaningful donation!

Humanion Films is a program under Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF), a tax exempt 501 (c) (3) volunteer-based nonprofit corporation. Donations can be made directly to “Wild for Life Foundation” and are fully tax-deductible.

We rely on the generous donations made by our supporters. Every penny that comes into WFLF goes to save America's horse from slaughter. No amount is too small to help save the lives of these majestic sentient beings.

It takes a tender yet honest look at the reality that American horses are born into, and the love, joy and respect they give us. Through following the life stories of these proud and majestic American horses this film explores the untold truth about what should be “the quiet retirement of Thoroughbreds”, “the freedom of wild horses and burros” and “the peaceful demise of once loved horses”. Featuring Paul Sorvino, Tippi Hedren, Michael Blake, Linda Gray, Ginger Kathrens, Dr Nicholas Dodman, Paula Bacon, Nick Zito, Craig Downer, Dr Nena Winand, Dr Elliot Katz, Brad Woodard, Steve Long, John Holland, Laura Allen and many others!

WFLF Production Update & News
March 8, 2010

We are excited to announce that we are wrapping up the filming and finishing up the last few interviews for SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED. The feature length documentary film is coming along very nice. We are about ¾ of the way through editing what we have filmed to date.

The horse slaughter issue is heating up and the proponents have been very aggressive in their misleading promotion of this insidious cruelty. The general public must be exposed to learn the truth and never before has there been a need so strong for people to come together for total ban of horse slaughter in the US.

We have been working around the clock in the trenches and on the front lines as we investigate and document this issue. WFLF Humanion Films’ Advisory Board, Honorary Board and Cast for SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED is comprised of the Nation’s top anti slaughter equine experts and specialists.

Come Stand With Us!
Our United Stance Against Horse Slaughter
We believe that…

• Horse slaughter is NOT humane and cannot be made humane
• Horse slaughter does NOT stop; has nothing to do with Abuse, Neglect or Abandonment of equines
• Americans do NOT support human consumption of horsemeat
• A Federal Law permanently banning horse slaughter in the US is necessary
• A Fed Law permanently banning the transport of Equines for slaughter is necessary
• Wild horses and burros belong free on the range
• A moratorium on all BLM round ups is necessary
• Horses may become homeless, but No horse is “unwanted”
• Horse owners should have the right to humanely euthanize their equine
• Equine owners and breeders must take responsibility for the life of each equine in their charge


We invite you and your friends to join SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES’ United Stance Against Horse Slaughter. Come Stand With Us! (Click here to learn how)
