"Saving America's Horses is Fantastic! Powerful and compelling” —Greg MacGillivary, MacGillivary Freeman Films (IMAX)

"Saving America's Horses is masterfully presented!"
— Larry Lindner, New York Times best-selling writer

“Saving America’s Horses – A Nation Betrayed is a must see film for anyone who cares about a horse."
— Bing Bush Jr, Equine Attorney

Madeleine Pickens started her career in horse racing in 1983; a passion she shared with her late husband and Gulfstream Aerospace founder, Allen E. Paulson. They achieved enormous success in racing and to this day, still hold the record for the leader of the most ‘Breeder’s Cup’ champion horses and earnings. Madeleine is still breeding a few racehorses, but adamantly opposes horse slaughter and the use of the drugs in these animals.

In 2005, she married Legendary Energy and Texas Oilman, T. Boone Pickens. It was when she met him that she decided the satisfaction of philanthropy and making a difference in the world was most important to her. In 2009, as founder of Saving America’s Mustangs, she began developing an eco-sanctuary in Northern Nevada called Mustang Monument. It will be a permanent home and living museum where visitors can stay on the land and see their horses roaming free in the wild.

ALL NEW, "Justice for America's Horses" PSA Campaign

For Immediate Release
Wild for Life Foundation
Los Angeles, CA
July 9, 2012

Now see the ALL NEW, "Justice for America's Horses" PSA, in HD with voice-over and beautiful endearing visuals. This Public Service Announcement is now available for immediate scheduling for multimedia news.

Please help make this PSA go viral by sharing this link with everyone you know:  http://youtu.be/QDNKN3RHUys

"Justice for America's Horses" is a new PSA from Wild for Life Foundation to raise awareness about the reality of horse slaughter. The PSA comes in the wake of the recent push by foreign investors to expand a niche market for horse meat sold as a delicacy abroad.

History shows us that USDA inspections failed to stop the terrible suffering inside US horse slaughter plants. The governments own reports document shocking violations before US plants were shut down in 2007. "If horse slaughter obtained plants are reopened in the U.S., horses will undoubtedly suffer torturous agony on U.S. soil again," states Katia Louise, President of Wild for Life Foundation. "The new PSA, JUSTICE FOR AMERICA'S HORSES is clear and disproves the misinformation of special interests. Very clearly, horse slaughter is not good for horses."

80% of Americans oppose horse slaughter. This PSA underscores the reasons. Inhumane and at odds with American values, horse slaughter interests would receive millions in taxpayer dollars to re-open. 80% say no and want their voices, and message, heard.

Sponsorship of this PSA is needed to get it distributed to over 30,000 journalists nationwide. Contact: sponsor.psa@wildforlifefoundation.org

Immediate scheduling and download of this PSA in high resolution is available upon request. Contact: wflf@wildforlifefoundation.org.

The production of "Justice for America's Horses" was made possible by generous in-kind support to Wild for Life Foundation by IMA Studios, Maria Daines and Paul Killington.
