FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Sept 27, 2012

Former Chief Inspector for the USDA, Dr Lester Friedlander joins as Advisory Board Member for SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES, the movie.

After blowing the whistle on the lack of enforcement of humane regulations inside U.S. slaughter plants, Dr Lester Friedlander was asked to leave the USDA. As highly regarded speaker, Dr. Friedlander has since continued his work independently striving to enlighten and educate the public. He is recognized in the Who's Who in Veterinary Science and Medicine, and for his work on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Federal Veterinarians in Washington DC and he had received numerous awards including USDA Certificates of Merit and Commendation and USDA Veterinary Trainer of the Year.
Veterinarian, Animal Welfare Advocate, Environmentalist, Researcher, Author and Lecturer, Lester Friedlander, DVM began his career as a farm veterinarian. Prior to working for the USDA, Dr. Friedlander worked as a horse racing veterinarian under the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. Dr. Friedlander then worked for over ten years as a Supervisory Veterinary Medical Officer for the United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety Inspection Service.
"We are honored to have Dr. Friedlander on the board of advisers for this important film," says Katia Louise, Filmmaker and President of the Wild for Life Foundation. "Dr. Friedlander is also a speaker in the film and recently appeared as a panel speaker at the film's showing at the AMC Kansas City International Film Festival."

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is an enlightening social experience rich in the history of how we as a society exist and share our world with other species that we respect and rely upon to survive.  When we look at how we treat our horses we discover more about ourselves. This film is a brilliant 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, the public and the environment. 

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is receiving rave reviews and has won multiple international awards, through the film festival circuit, but timing is pivotal for America’s horses; their very survival is at stake. That's why it's crucial to get SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES released this year.

The greatest legacy we may ever know

Wild for Life Foundation
Saving America's Horses
Sept, 21, 2012 (Updated Oct 1, 2012)

Special interests want to kill off America's horses and with them goes the greatest legacy we may ever know.

Unless America's wild and domestic equines are protected, the future for our beloved and majestic horses and burros will continue to be in jeopardy. The stakes could not be higher; their very survival is at stake and time is running out.

Please give today!
We’re fighting back with everything we’ve got. If you are planning to donate this year, there will never be a more important moment.

"SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES- A Nation Betrayed" is a powerful feature length documentary film that has garnered massive support for its deeply passionate look into the world of both wild and domestic horses; their connection to our history and the future of humanity.
 

This film is a brilliant 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, the public and the environment. SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES highlights imminent and urgent health risks to humans and the environmental impact caused by the capture, removal, transport and stockpiling of both wild and domestic horses to be slaughtered for their meat. The environmental footprint is overwhelming; the public health risks are many. 

The Triumph Project, avid supporter of Wild for Life Foundation and SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES has donated $25,000 to help insure that this important film can be meet submission deadlines for Academy consideration.

But this is just a portion of what's needed to put SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES into theaters this year. That's why, your gift in any amount  is so important and will help fund the remainder of theatrical arrangements so that this film can be seen as widely as possible.

The future is in our hands. America's horses and burros are disappearing and along with them goes a part of us. We can't bring back those we've lost, but we have the power to make a difference for generations to come.  Join us and take a stand for moral justice.  


Please give today!

Named after the rescue of an aged Belgian workhorse, The Triumph Project was founded by Victoria McCullough of the Davis-McCullough Foundation as an awareness campaign to enlighten citizens of the  US and abroad of the egregious mistreatment and betrayal of horses  that have served  in battle, sport and  pleasure.

Wild for Life Foundation is a 501c3 all volunteer charity dedicated to saving and protecting America's wild and domestic horses and burros now and for generations to come through equine education, rescue, sanctuary and preservation.  Donations to Wild for Life Foundation are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
