Help Rescue 24 Virginia Range Horses Who Face Slaughter Auction
The following action alert is from American Wild Horse Preservation.
We are desperately attempting to find placement for two bands of horses recently removed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture from the Virginia Range, who will go to slaughter auction in less than two weeks if we are unsuccessful. Additionally, we have eight horses at Horses Plus Humane Society in northern California who were removed from the Virginia Range by the NDA over a year ago. We have been paying Horses Plus to keep these horses and not euthanize them, however they are moving and cannot take these horses with them.
We are spreading the word far and wide about the need for placing these horses.
Must find placement in two weeks or they will be sent to slaughter auction:
- A family band of ten horses consisting of 2 geldings, 1 colt and 7 mares/fillies
- A band of three consisting of 1 gelding & 2 mares
- A single bachelor gelding
