For every horse that needed that 2nd chance


Dear friends and supporters, 

Saving America's Horses would like to extend our utmost gratitude to everyone for your generous donations and support. We know these are extremely hard times for a lot of people and that's one of the reasons why this project is so important.

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is for every horse whose owner has fallen onto hard times, for every horse that needed that 2nd chance at life but whose family had to let him go, for the abused and neglected horses and burros, and all the wild horses taken away from their families and their lands, and for all of America's horses that were killed at slaughter over the years, and for all our horses across this great nation of ours that will continue to face the barbaric death of slaughter until we the public can stand as one and protect them. 

Thank you everyone for your support. We at Wild for Life Foundation will remain vigilant to our mission to save, protect and preserve America's equines; until they are safe. 

Many blessings from, 
SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES

Saving America's Horses takes Kansas City Film Fest by Storm

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES takes Kansas City Film Fest by storm with it's powerful and lingering message. The international award winning film made a powerful impact on festival goers in Kansas City and was the film everyone was talking about all week long. "That's very good for horses," says Paula Bacon, former mayor Kaufman TX.

The horses' presence was seen and felt everywhere, throughout the festival, with gorgeous life size SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES displays in the lobbies and entryways at multiple festival venues and after parties. The SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES promo spot starring Paula Bacon, Paul Sorvino and Linda Gray played at the top of every movie all week long as excitement mounted for the film to screen.

Fueled by the spirit of the horse, the movie sweeps its viewers off their feet, empowering them and inspiring them to get involved on behalf of the horses. "The impact was off the charts," says filmmaker Katia Louise.  "The tremendous buzz about the horses rippled through the festival and with the support from fans and horse advocates our reach to the public more than tripled in just a few days on the internet." 

As anticipation escalated for the film to screen so did nature's fury with supercell tornadoes shutting down airports and delaying flights. That same  perfect storm was heading straight for Kansas City, but it didn't stop Paula Bacon, (former mayor Kaufman TX) and Dr Lester Friedlander, (former USDA Chief Inspector) from appearing and speaking at the Kansas City screen's premiere.

Paula Bacon is the former mayor of Kaufman, Texas, which until 2007 had the foreign-owned Dallas Crown horse slaughter plant. "A horse slaughter plant creates expensive environmental problems for taxpayers and stigmatizes the community as 'that place where they slaughter horses' -- Good development goes elsewhere,"  Bacon said. "The horse slaughter plant did not make our community money--we paid."

Festival goers were stunned  by Dr. Friedlander's statements underscoring how federal laws do not protect the horses in the U.S. "USDA vets are pressured by the slaughter plant owners to overlook violations to cruelty laws so they can make more money," Friedlander said. 

Paula Bacon, one of the film's lead cast and speakers in SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is also an Executive Advisory Board member for the film. Dr Lester Friedlander is a cast and speaker for the film project and Katia Louise is the director/ producer of the film. SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES - A NATION BETRAYED is an educational film project under Wild for Life Foundation, a 501 c3 nonprofit charity dedicated to saving, protecting and preserving horses.

Voted most popular film in the KC Film Festival, SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is winning multiple international awards as it continues to showcase through the festival circuit.

Concerned citizens and horse advocates are encouraged to support the SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES Coast to Coast campaign to help bring this film to public release.

For Immediate Release
WFLF One Vision Equis
April 13, 2012

Proponents want to open horse slaughter plants in MO, and across the U.S., claiming that it’s “the humane thing to do,” but cruelty investigators and equine welfare professionals point to a disturbing history of egregious cruelty violations in the U.S. They also say it would be “good for the economy”, but “just how good is it,” asks filmmaker Katia Louise.

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED examines the controversial issue of horse “processing” and “gathering” with first hand testimony from both sides of the fence. “We found that communities where horse slaughter plants once operated in the U.S. have been devastated by the industry’s negative economic and environmental impacts, and the public deserves to know the un-whitewashed truth," adds Louise.

The Kansas City screens premiere will take place on Sunday, April 15th at 2:45PM at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. A special Q&A will follow with international award winning filmmaker, Katia Louise. Cast and speakers to appear for this historic event include Paula Bacon, former mayor of Kaufman, TX. Bacon speaks from firsthand experience dealing with over 30 years of environmental violations, increased crime rates and economic devastation caused by the foreign owned plant that once operated in her community.

This landmark documentary is an intelligent and hard hitting exposé that reveals how the public has been misled by government agencies and corporate interests that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the horses and the environment. Former Chief USDA Inspector Dr Lester Friedlander will also be on hand during the Q&A. SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES masterfully illustrates how USDA veterinarians are pressured by slaughterhouses to overlook violations to the cruelty laws, “…so they can make more money,” adds Friedlander.
