Breaking News: Court of Appeals Issues Stay to Stop Horse Slaughter in U.S. | Straight from the Horse's Heart

Breaking News: Court of Appeals Issues Stay to Stop Horse Slaughter in U.S. | Straight from the Horse's Heart

We are happy to announce that the Court of Appeal has granted our motion for a temporary injunction, for a short time, staying the district court’s ruling last week. For now, no horses can be slaughtered in America, and the chance of environmental contamination from horse slaughter is again in the hands of the courts. But we will be fighting further this week, and should know more by week’s end.

We Can Do Better | Straight from the Horse's Heart

If wild horses and burros are to be managed efficiently, based on science and equitable policy, shouldn’t it follow that every effort should be made to monitor wild horses and burros? Instead of assessing only the environments in which they live while ignoring the animals themselves, rendering ‘estimates’ of populations or  aerial census without accompanying visual documentation virtually useless.
