Thank you for being a voice for the horses through thick and thin

 

Jul 7 2020

We all have been impacted by some major changes and challenges over the last few months. But no matter what goes on in the world around us, we have not wavered from our mission of Saving America's Horses.  

Every day, countless horses’ and burros’ 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 global warming.  It remains our mission to see that this becomes a thing of the past.   

Through Saving America’s Horses we spotlight 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 that are slaughtered for human consumption.

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES tells the story of how one of America’s most treasured and iconic species struggles to survive in a world where two camps claim to be saving them; one that actually does, and the other that is instead found to be brutally exploiting them, eliminating them and driving them to extinction.   This project brings important facts to the benefit of public interests and increases civic engagement through showing 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 raises awareness for the protection of America’s wild equines as an indigenous species to North America. Support for this project also helps efforts to assure the continued defunding of horse slaughter in the U.S., and it also supports equine rescue and recovery efforts for America’s at-risk horses and burros.  

SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES is a multimedia educational project under the Wild For Life Foundation charity (WFLF).  With your support we are continuing to reach out to animal lovers and horse enthusiasts to help spread the word about the vital need to save and protect America's Horses from unspeakable suffering, malicious harm, and gruesome death. You can help by sharing our posts and  information about this important issue together, and together we can break the cycle of animal cruelty for America’s horses and burros. Help us cultivate the action and social change needed for the protection of all equines from abuse, cruelty and gruesome death. Please take action now.  You can help save lives by sharing this message.

The demand for truth and the need for ethical and moral justice have never been greater.  Saving America’s Horses answers these demands and more.  It’s not just about the horses; it’s about how we as a society exist, our footprint on the world and the future of our planet and the legacy we leave behind.

Thank you for sharing and helping to make a difference.

Saving America's Horses' Achievements and Benchmarks

 

 Feb 11 2019

All of us at Wild For Life Foundation and Saving America’s Horses extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who supports the horses and burros. Thank you for caring and thank you for being part of this amazing work. The animals are forever grateful. We are forever grateful.

We are grateful every day to the caring people who have donated to help save and raise awareness for a nation of horses now and into the future.  With your help, we released SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED, the landmark film in theaters, bi-coastally in 2012 and have since continued our work expanding the educational reach of the project and its inspiring message globally.

Every day, countless horses’ and burros’ 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 global warming, and it is our mission to see that this becomes a thing of the past.  This is the path we’ve always been on, and it is our great privilege to be on it with our supporters, and so many other like-minded people and partners.

Saving America’s Horses comes at a time when the demand for truth and the need for ethical and moral justice have never been greater.  It’s not just about the horses; it’s about how we as a society exist, our footprint on the world and the future of humanity.

We believe in freedom from cruelty for America’s horses and burros and it remains our vow to meet the increasing cost of providing for the complex needs of those we support through the Wild For Life Foundation. As and the number of horses and burros needing care and protection continues to rise, the demand for the Saving America's Horses educational project continues to grow, and our objective is to keep up with these demands.  All of these vital tasks are made possible by our supporters.

Here are just a few of the things that we accomplished together since May of 2012

It’s an honor to share and be supported in the important progress and accomplishments that we’ve made together over the years. Without you, we could not have helped so many animals.  Saving America’s Horses indeed continues to make a difference for at-risk animals every single day.

As we reflect and celebrate all that we have achieved together we remain mindful of the mission at hand. This project brings exposure to the corrupt distribution of disinformation about horse slaughter and the removal of America’s wild horses, and reveals how the public has been misled by special interest groups that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the horses, people and the environment.

We will not waiver from our promise to speak for the horses and burros. Wild For Life Foundation is determined to reach out on behalf of every individual member of America’s equine population, be they wild, or domestic, and without limitation to age, gender, handicap, discipline, lack of training or if completely wild..

Thank you for helping to make this possible.

Thanks from all of us at Wild For Life Foundation Saving America's Horses.

Celebrating 10 Years - Defending their Freedom and Saving Their Lives

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.

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES is a multimedia educational project which reveals how the public has been misled by special interests that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the horses, the people and the environment. Provides irrefutable evidence of how roundups and horse slaughter perpetuates criminal animal cruelty, and inspires social action toward ending the cruelty, and protecting and preserving America's horses and burros.

Timing is pivotal, with the ongoing elimination of our wild horses from the rangelands, from holding areas, and with the escalated push by foreign investors to reopen horse slaughter plants in the U.S., more and more horses are suffering the cruel death of barbaric slaughter.

Wild Horse Crisis Alert Update

NOV. 19, 2018

RECENT ISSUE UPDATES:
Currently, the Modoc Forest Service is CHASING DOWN and TRAPPING 1000 California DEVIL'S GARDEN PLATEAU WILD HORSES with the intention to sell 100's of the horses without limitation, enabling buyers to purchase up to 36 horses for as little as one dollar each.

On Friday Nov 9, 2018 California Attorney General Becerra issued a WARNING to the USDA and the US Forest Service in Wash. DC, and both CA Forest Service Districts, to COMPLY with California Penal Code § 598c which PROHIBITS the slaughter of horses. WFLF applauds Attorney General Becerra's warning.  This is a strong stride forward for America's horses who depend on your united and continued action in raising awareness through the power of knowledge and truth.

On Oct. 13, 2018, Saving America's Horses issued a Crisis Alert and Global Call to Action with true facts about slaughter and the law, together with contact information for officials in power who can help enforce the law. We thank all of you who took action.  YOUR VOICE MATTERS! 

But the fight is far from over for California's horses and burros who are continuously shipped underground to slaughter, despite California's Penal Code § 598c.  Violating this law is a felony that carries a prison sentence of up to three years. Cal. Pen. Code § 598c(c). However, in the absence of federal protection, over 100,000 American horses are shipped across federal borders to slaughter plants in Mexico and Canada each year.

America's wild horse and burro population is under an escalated direct threat of the U.S.D.A, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the Department of Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).  All of these agencies are engaged in aggressive pro-slaughter activities, with varying degrees of underhanded maneuvering and duplicity.  Make no mistake - all these agencies operate at the root of the pro-slaughter movement! 

In May 2018, the DOI ordered the BLM to empty out wild horse and holding corrals by selling 25 horses at a time with no questions asked to any buyer. Despite a prohibition on such cruelty by the Interior Appropriations Committee, the Interior Secretary has mandated that the horses must be sold. As pointed out by Attorney General Becerra, "this is a reversal of U.S. previous policy of following restrictions on the sale of wild horses that Congress regularly imposes on the federal Bureau of Land Management. Under these Congressional restrictions, wild horses cannot be sold for processing into commercial products, including food."

As advocates in the ongoing fight for a national win against slaughter, one of our biggest challenges has been and remains getting the truth out in the open. What most people don't realize is that the disinformation campaigns related to our mission are driven by deep pocket special interests who do NOT really care about the horses at all. No matter what you've heard, there is only one truth: horse slaughter is NOT humane euthanasia. Nor is it a "necessary evil".

WFLF and Saving America's Horses urge all those who want to make a difference for the horses and burros, to stand united and make your voice heard. Armed with the knowledge of truth we can make a win against the pro-slaughter movement and their underhanded efforts, undermining devices, and misleading propaganda. Join us!


WFLF Saving America's Horses' speaks to the need for protection of America's wild and domestic horses and burros both locally and on a national level. "We are adamantly opposed to slaughter," states Jay Coskie, vice president, WFLF.  "We seek and support strong federal protection for these animals, for a permanent federal ban against slaughter in the U.S. and an end to their exportation from the U.S. for slaughter in foreign countries." "Without federal protection more than 100,000 wild and domestic horses and burros are funneled across U.S. borders for gruesome slaughter each year," added Katia Louise, president and director, WFLF.

The Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is a U.S. Registered 501 (c)(3) all volunteer nonprofit charity dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals with a focus on saving, protecting and preserving at-risk wild and domestic horses and burros in need. 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.

The dark side of social media and its impact in the world of animal protection

November 15, 2018

The Wild For Life Foundation has become aware of bad faith deterrence of the organization's exempt purpose. The offenders are a small group of individuals -- who refuse to identify themselves and use aliases and cyber technology to obtain sensitive information about unsuspecting social media users, then expose them to offensive domains where false and deceptive information is promoted together with messages of violence and hate crimes.

The Wild For Life Foundation has stepped up security measures and reported the activities to authorities. Investigations are ongoing.

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.

Their future is our future

This little baby foal, just weeks old, was orphaned and left to die after being chased down in a
roundup. Her mother was shipped to slaughter that same day. This little foal collapsed shortly after she was rescued. Her body shut down from the trauma. She was rushed to the nearest veterinary hospital where she clung to dear life for 17 days before she finally recovered enough to be released. She is seen here in her hospital room with a loving young visitor. The actual death count from the number of horses that shipped to slaughter as a result of that roundup series rose to over 2,000; countless others disappeared as kill trucks loaded with torchered & terrified horses continued to ship across federal borders underground. This orphan foal is one of dozens whose lives were saved through a grassroots collaboration of charity rescue services - one of many successful lifesaving missions under WFLF.

This is MorningStar. She grew up in WFLF's volunteer driven sanctuary and is thriving today, thanks to the continued support of caring people who never once gave up on her or the countless other victimized wild and domestic horses and burros who rely 100% on charity to survive. Her inspirational story of loss, betrayal and survival through love and healing serves as a testament for the need to end this total injustice and utter suffering caused by roundups, and unspeakable slaughter, and the profound understanding of how saving their lives is in truth at the core of the future we share in this world together. Their future is our future. Please join us as we stand as one with the horse nation.

There are many ways to take part - from volunteering at a local rescue, to supporting the boots-on-the ground groups who work in the trenches and save the lives of individual horses and burros, to supporting the groups that advocate for stronger laws that are needed to end these practices and protect these animals, to supporting the powerful outreach and educational campaigns that can help raise the public outcry and action needed for change.

It was the Year of the Horse – A look back at Horses Lives Saved

It was the Year of the Horse – A look back at Horses Lives Saved

Oct 29, 2018

In early 2014, the Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF) received requests from a New Mexico nonprofit for money, services and goods to save the lives of approximately 150 of its horses from slaughter. WFLF launched a specific grassroots Rescue and Recovery Mission to help aid and save as many of the horses as possible. WFLF relied on its impeccable reputation and hard-earned resources to raise the attention and support needed to save these horses.  WFLF's robust advocacy and rescue efforts on behalf of its mission to save the horses caught international media attention and was followed and supported by the nation's top equine coalitions, several national animal welfare organizations and many equine rescue groups.

The New Mexico nonprofit and its representatives repeatedly endorsed and thanked WFLF and its

Horses Lives' Saved

staff for their efforts in saving the horses’ lives. WFLF contributed large sums of money and valuable lifesaving services to the New Mexico nonprofit to aid and care for the at-risk horses that were being temporarily housed by the New Mexico nonprofit at dry lot cattle pens. WFLF expended over $18,000.00 in 2014 to evacuate and transport approximately 100 horses to new homes selected by the nonprofit. At the nonprofit’s request, and at WFLF’s expense, WFLF agreed to accept possession of approximately 48 of the least adoptable horses, including 3 pregnant mares, at two WFLF facilities in California. It cost WFLF over $55,000.00 to save the horses in 2014.  WFLF's costs to feed, house and care for these horses continued thereafter and have exceeded $150,000.00 since 2014.

In 2015, WFLF received an anonymous whistleblower report which eventually led to the termination of certain individuals and the parting of ways of the two organizations. Just before departing, a certain individual filed claims against two WFLF representatives.  The court dismissed both cases in their entirety less than one month after they were filed.

WFLF has moved on and continues to dedicate its hard-earned resources toward advancing our valuable and life-saving animal protection missions.  As demonstrated by numerous testimonials, reviews and awards, WFLF operates its services and programs with the highest level of integrity, compassion and honor. We have successfully saved hundreds of wild and domestic horses and burros from abuse, neglect, slaughter and other forms of cruelty. The animals served by WFLF are provided with quality tender loving care, and peaceful safe housing.

This is Daisy, she's a 32 yr old registered quarter horse that was rescued from the brink of death. She's just one of the many senior equines living out her life at Wild For Life Foundation's sanctuary where every life matters.

Every dollar goes to helping horses in need. No amount is too small.

Wild for Life foundation (WFLF) vigorously works to save, protect and preserve abused, neglected, displaced and slaughter bound wild and domestic equines, and educate to raise compassion and improve the standards of their protection.  

WFLF accepts equines of all breeds, ages, genders and disciplines.  WFLF also works in conjunction with county animal services and offers lifesaving rescue and sanctuary services for equines who've been impounded at crowded county kill shelters. 


WFLF promotes the protection and preservation of wild horses and burros on public lands through outreach and education.  WFLF's educational and advocacy programming serves to expose and resolve the inhumane practices and other questionable activities promoted by  U.S. government agencies and special interest groups which threaten the safety, welfare and future of wild equines in the wild.

WFLF's all volunteer staff works around the clock on these issues, but no part of WFLF's work to help animals would be possible without continued support.

GLOBAL CALL TO ACTION DEVILS GARDEN ROUNDUPS - STOP THE SLAUGHTER

ALERT! Take Action to help Stop the SELLING OFF of Calif. Wild Horses - to SLAUGHTER! And raise AWARENESS and HELP to Save and Keep them SAFE.

Modoc Forest Service is currently CHASING DOWN and TRAPPING 1000 California DEVIL'S GARDEN PLATEAU WILD HORSES and they intend to SELL ALL HORSES over the age of 10 WITHOUT LIMITATION for ONE DOLLAR each, TRANSLATION: BARBARIC SLAUGHTER!

This would VIOLATE CA PENAL § 598c, a California statute passed in 1998 which makes it

ILLEGAL to designate any California HORSES & BURROS FOR SLAUGHTER.

WFLF and SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES has ISSUED a CRISIS ALERT and GLOBAL CALL TO ACTION to the general public, the International SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES Coalition and its fellow pro-horse alliances to STAND UNITED in OPPOSITION to this outrageous TRAVESTY.

Facts about this roundup:
The roundup started Oct 10 and will continue through and until all 1000 WILD HORSES are captured. There is still time to SAVE LIVES!

These wild horses are being forced by helicopter to run for their lives across miles of extremely hazardous terrain including rocky and slippery slopes, and they will lose their families, their children, their homes, their freedom forever and many will lose their lives. Babies will be torn away from their mothers, and any mares 10 years old or more will be SOLD for a $1.

JOIN TO ADD YOUR VOICE NOW to the SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES Coalition as we STAND UNITED for the PROTECTION OF HORSES AND BURROS against CRUELTY.


Facts about Roundups in General:
During roundups equines of all ages and sizes, both fit and unfit are chased indiscriminately by motorized vehicles and aircraft; they are forced to run for hours across miles of rough terrain under extreme weather conditions without rest or water. They are oftentimes roped and dragged, and even sometimes hit or run over by helicopters; and some are even chased off cliffs during the roundups. Bands of horses and burros are chased at high speeds into enclosed trap sites where horses often collide into the metal gates, and into one another. This egregiously cruel handling of horses and burros causes them tremendous suffering and pain.

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.

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

Take the Pledge - Stand United for the Horses

Saving America's Horses is a lifesaving mission and educational project under the Wild For Life Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity dedicated to saving, protecting and preserving wild and domestic horses and burros through rescue, sanctuary and education. Federal ID No. 26-3052458

Rally to Aid Horses and Burros saved from slaughter

Dear Friends,
Every day we work with dozens rescue horses and burros that have nowhere to go were it not for Wild For Life Foundation’s (WFLF) Equine Rescue and Sanctuary program. Good Samaritans, volunteers and caring community members have made it their mission to support our nonprofit organization’s efforts to rescue and save these animals from unspeakable cruelty and life threatening danger. WFLF is a purely volunteer-driven organization, which means we have limited resources to do the work we do. When the animals arrive at our doors, most have suffered and are in need of immediate medical care, and although our vets work at negotiated rates, some of our animals require extensive

medical care. Other absolute costs include primary care, shelter and quality hoof care. 
Yet hay and feed costs are the highest core expense, and as you may know, horses and burros really love their hay!

Equine rescue and sanctuary programming is extremely costly to operate and funding is limited. We know there are a lot of other ways that you can choose to invest your money, but when you choose to support our lifesaving mission you're helping to make the continued protection and quality care of these precious animals possible, and the animals we serve thank you.

WFLF's documented track record and financials demonstrate our  long standing and impeccable record of high quality animal care, transparency, efficiency  and compliance. Our all volunteer animal rescue and caretaker team work around the clock, 7 days a week to serve the needs of these  rescue animals. Our administrative staff are also volunteers.  These time tested best practices have enabled us to run our programs at an average efficiency of about 97%. 

We are more than grateful to our faithful board of directors who have dedicated their lives to our mission, and the many volunteer rescue helpers and supporters who love these animals as much as we do and who have also contributed and given their time freely as often as they can. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We implement a strict no-breeding policy and strive to sustain operations through charitable fundraising and successful placement of adoptable animals into new loving homes. These management strategies have enabled us to steadily expand over the years, from saving just a few animals annually to more than one hundred during peak years and in times of equine crisis. 

We currently care and provide for an average of 25 -30 rescue horses and burros and need to raise about $8,000 each month just to operate. (learn more)  Animal care and shelter costs are absolute and ongoing for the life of the animals we serve.  Every contribution makes an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Click now to make a gift online, by mail, or text to give. 

Another way to help is through pledging monthly support. Monthly giving is the easiest and most effective way to support this lifesaving mission. Our monthly donors help assure a consistent, reliable income stream that allows us to tackle whatever case may come through our doors. 

You can also make a difference by sharing information about our charity with your friends and family. 

As always we thank you from the bottom of our hearts – we are truly humbled by the love we've received and your continued vote of confidence in the work that we do. 

Much Love – Yours for the horses, 

Katia Louise, volunteer director
Wild For Life Foundation

PS - From now through the end of the year, when you make a gift of $15 or more online, you will receive a beautiful photograph and personal profile of one of the horses whose lives are being transformed by your kind and compassionate donation.
