Celebrating 10 Years - Defending Their Freedom and Saving Their Lives

January 22, 2019, Los Angeles, CA - Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF) is pleased to announce the release of its 10 year review 'Celebrating 10 Years - Defending Their Freedom and Saving Their Lives' in recognition of the charity's top achievements and milestones.

The review also includes statements from WFLF board members, benefactors and affiliates,

and

The ANIMALS are the BENEFICIARIES of our mission
WFLF exists to serve their need for protection and care

at-a-glance financial data illustrating annual income streams, together with functional  expenditures for program goods and services which meet the demands of the beneficiaries.

"We are overwhelmingly grateful for the support we receive for all those facing  life-threatening circumstances, crisis and illnesses. Without our supporters offering  this now and for as long as it is needed, we wouldn’t have the ability to deliver on our promise and make a lifesaving difference every day." - Jay Coskie, WFLF Vice President and Co Founder

"If everyone had the compassion and tenacious will exhibited by the Wild For Life 

Foundation, we would never have to worry with our tears about these beloved companions who have been greater than the wings of our souls." - Kimme Black, WFLF Benefactor and Ambassador

In July 2018, Wild For Life Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary of success in awarding winning charitable services and impeccable compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and operational policies.  And over the last year WFLF has taken considerable steps to demonstrate the board’s commitment to maintaining its high principles of integrity, objectivity and transparency. 

This past year, WFLF’s leadership team laid out an ambitious ProActive Crisis Communications plan as part of an Emergency Response policy.  This is a plan and goal toward increased safeguards that protect the animals, the organization and its mission from conflicts of interest, adversary propaganda, conjecture and the dissemination of inaccurate information that may impact WFLF's purpose, the prevention of animal cruelty..

The Board of Directors (BOD) is committed to providing accurate information to the public and its oversight and governance practices transcend transparency and accountability.  WFLF ensures that donated funds are used exclusively for its exempt purposes. In fact, on average 97% of each dollar raised goes directly to the benefit of animals in need.  The BOD is fully satisfied that WFLF’s work is carried out wholly to advance WFLF's charitable purposes. The BOD additionally commends its all volunteer staff for maintaining such admirable functional efficiency over the years. 

"We know the remarkable courage, strength  and sacrifice it takes to stand against the turbulent tide which threatens the future of these sacred beings, to whom we are all connected. We honor the kindred spirit of each and every supporter and the contributions received – whether financial, or goods, services or time. Charity is made possible when the needs of others touch that special place in our hearts and we are moved to sacrifice something dear that belongs to us, for the benefit of others. This is the essence of charity and the core principle which drives WFLF and all that we do.

Every day, countless names, faces, and lives are lost to inhumane and needless killing that can be prevented; this killing additionally places human lives at risk, contributes to toxic waste and environmental destruction, and it is our mission to see that this becomes a thing of the past. This is the path we’ve always been on." - Katia Louise, President, Wild For Life Foundation

WFLF has brought landmark attention, inspired growing support and positive change to benefit a variety animal species with a focus on equines, both nationally and internationally through multimedia educational programming, broadcast media, documentaries and rescue, and WFLF thanks their devoted supporters for helping to make this important work possible.

Untold numbers of California's horses and burros disappear every day - where do they go?

Did you know? - In California it's a felony for any person in the state to possess, transfer, receive, or hold a horse (defined to include ponies, donkeys and mules) with the intent to kill it, or have it killed, where the person knows, or should have known, that any part of the carcass will be used for human consumption.

Did you know that despite the passing of CA PENAL § 598c in 1998, untold numbers of California's horses and burros are butchered alive on bloody slaughterhouse floors to this day?

Where do you believe the breakdown in the legal system occurs that sadly enables protected CA horses and burros to be slaughtered?

Urgent Action Needed for Wild Horses and Burros

Wild For Life Foundation's (WFLF) dedicated team of volunteers has placed their lives on hold working around the clock to assure 72 at risk wild horses and burros, orphans, new born babies and pregnant Mama’s saved from roundups, starvation and slaughter receive the lifesaving care and provisions they need including quality nutritional hay and grains, urgently needed veterinary medical care, farrier care and safe peaceful housing.

16 starvation, neglect and roundup survivors have arrived to our facilities just since the beginning of this year; some are pregnant, some injured and many of them need specialized medical care to make a full recovery.  41 of these at risk wild horses and burros are roundup and slaughter survivors, including Mustang orphan foals, mamas and their babies that arrived to WFLF after being captured during roundups. 15 of these rescued victims include domesticated wild horses (wild horses that had been captured by the BLM, but had fallen through the cracks after going through their adoption program), and other innocent equine rescues currently in recovery – survivors from starvation, abuse and neglect cases.

The WFLF Wild Horse and Burro Rescue and Recovery Mission is a program under the Wild For Life Foundation which aids wild horses and burros that need rescue and sanctuary services after being rounded up, starved neglected, discarded or discovered in other life threatening danger. Your unwavering support for our lifesaving rescue program and our powerful educational program continues to help save hundreds of lives every year.  The animals are counting on us to continue to deliver and we thank you for helping to make that possible.  Please consider making a compassionate donation to help save lives today.

Wild For Life Foundation is a 501 c(3) charity dedicated to saving, protecting and preserving equines.  Donations to the Wild For Life Foundation are tax deductible and help pay for essential hay, veterinary care, farrier care, safe quality housing and emergency transport for at risk horses and burros in need.  WFLF also works with law enforcement and other government agencies to save, place and care for victims of animal cruelty. Your continued support makes it possible to carry out our crucial lifesaving mission.

Lifesaving Mission to Aid America's Horses

April 9, 2014

Dear friends, animal lovers and humanitarians,
Saving America's Horses is an educational documentary film project under the Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF) charity. It tells the powerful story about what's happening with our horses in this country, and it provides us with viable solutions for change. WFLF is putting those solutions into action, and with your support the Wild For Life Foundation has stepped up during very troubling times and taken responsibility for horses victimized by cruelty and displacement. Together we have saved hundreds of horses from being butchered alive - but 'rescue' is just the beginning of a long, dedicated endeavor to provide the best quality of life for these captured, abused and neglected victims. These displaced horses need us together more than ever to keep our promise so that they will never be at risk again.

Wild For Life Foundation needs your financial support, so we can continue providing lifesaving services to animals in need

In addition to educating the public, WFLF saves and rehabilitates horses in need, many of which come in as starvation cases because of the tough economy. We rescue victimized wild horses who have been rounded up and are at risk of slaughter. In fact, WFLF rescue team members are working around the clock on a large scale rescue mission in New Mexico approximately 130 -150 Mustangs whose lives are in grave danger. WFLF is helping to save the Mustangs from going to slaughter through the provision of lifesaving hay, vetting, transport and placement of this large herd in family bands to new safe and natural habitats where they can live out their lives as nature intended.  (Click for update on WFLF's MMRRM)

Because of YOU and every single friend who has sent in donations, nutritious hay is being delivered
to feed and save these and other imperiled Mustangs! However, this recent outpouring of support doesn’t mean Wild For Life Foundation is safe.  Each rescue horse costs WFLF about $350 a month to take care of, which by comparison to many other programs is half of the cost per horse. That's because we do everything possible to keep expenses down and make your donation dollars go as far as possible for the horses. We are a volunteer based charity and our expert team of dedicated board members and staff contributions of time and talent are all donated.

America’s horses need your help! Never before has there been a need so great for the protection of America’s horses. We receive heartbreaking calls and emails every single day, and knowing these horses will go to slaughter - and understanding the unspeakable torture they are forced to endure is more than most people can bear. We cry every time we have to say ‘no’.

 YOU make it possible for Wild for Life Foundation to save horses’ lives. We can’t do this work without you.

Since founded in 2008, the Wild for Life Foundation, in just a few short years, has become internationally recognized as a leader in animal welfare. Since we began, the number of animals coming into our program has grown exponentially, from just a few animals annually to more than one hundred each year. We have saved hundreds of lives and conducted undercover investigations; we’ve exposed cruelty, and held equine abusers to account. We’ve turned up the heat on the insidious trade of horsemeat; and have inspired more Americans to make compassionate, cruelty-free choices. Through our educational media program, WFLF’s multi-international-award winning film, SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES has become a powerful podium with a dynamic reach to animal lovers worldwide.

While the Wild For Life Foundation has met these challenges, continued donations are needed to keep up with the exploding demand.  The Wild for Life Foundation needs your continued support in order to meet the needs of the animals we serve.

The Wild For Life Foundation relies 100% on tax deductible donations from caring and compassionate people like you. Please consider making a meaningful donation today.

Your contribution of any size will make a difference!

Sincerely,
Katia Louise
