Saving America's Horses

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.

Saving America's Horses first successfully met the GlobalGiving challenge back in May of 2012 and 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 this landmark film bi-coastally in 2012 and have since continued our work expanding the reach of the project and its 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 our charity. 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

In July 2018, WFLF celebrated its 10^th anniversary of success in award winning charitable services and impeccable compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and operational policies. We believe it is only through transparency and accountability that we can stay on mission and schedule to achieve it.

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 never 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.
