Founded in 2009, the SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES Initiative is a Global Coalition founded on the powerful alliance of more than 50 of the top most influential anti-slaughter experts in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and has grown to include members from over 50 Nations from around the world; standing together as a union of likeminded professionals, individuals, organizations, companies and grassroots groups. We strive break the cycle of animal cruelty for horses & burros through cultivating action and inspiring social change for the protection of equines from slaughter.

Stand in Truth ~ Stand with the Horses & Burros

We invite individuals, groups, clubs, companies and organizations from all walks of life to stand united with the horses and burros by giving them a voice. This is united effort to ban the slaughter of all equines, both domesticated and wild.

We believe that  

•    Horses and burros are not food

•    Horse slaughter is NOT humane and cannot be made humane 

•    Horse slaughter is driven by a perverse market of horsemeat which 

     is riddled with fraud

•    Horse slaughter is a major contributor of toxic substances and waste 

     that contaminates the environment and places human lives at risk  

•    Horse slaughter supports the abuse, neglect, insidious cruelty and 

     abandonment of equines  

•    State & National laws to permanently ban horse slaughter are necessary 

•    State & National laws permanently banning the transport of equines for 

     slaughter are necessary

•    Wild horses and burros belong free on the range  

•    An immediate moratorium on the roundup, removal and culling of wild equines is urgently needed  

•    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

•    Horses & burros may become homeless, but No horse or burro is “unwanted”   

Our mission to see that horse slaughter is a thing of the past.

This monumental and pivotal body of work has raised the bar for animal welfare in the U.S., and united equine advocates globally. The film brings to screen facts about the 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 designated for the human food chain. The film exposes how certain government agencies and special interests groups run over existing laws that are meant to protect the horses, people and the environment. 

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES chronicles the history of needed protective legislation in the U.S., exposing the misleading propaganda used by proponents of slaughter, including the AVMA & the AAEP. It uncovers layers of documented evidence drawing a sharp contrast to the perverse myth that horse slaughter is “humane”, and that wrongly portrays this endangered native species as “excess, unwanted and destructive pests”.
