Why this film is so important
One film especially as powerful as Saving America's Horses - A Nation Betrayed, can reach the public like nothing else can and prompt people to stand up and pass the laws to stop the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and join the call for a moratorium or support legal action to stop the Bureau of Land Management from removing America's free roaming wild horses and burros from public lands and steriizing them and putting them in zoolike settings, or selling them for slaughter.
The film's executive producer, Katia Louise, describes, "Under our film label, Humanion Films, we have been working to stop the slaughter of American equines; both domestic and wild. We have traveled the country to do interviews and to document the issue of horse slaughter in order to produce the feature length documentary film, "Saving America's Horses, A Nation Betrayed".
"Our team of researchers, investigators, equine experts, and renowned advisory board members have made tremendous progress this year toward banning this barbaric cruelty, but our work is far from over.
"Members of the WFLF crew recently traveled to Reno, Nevada to film interviews and wild horses on location and to speak on behalf of the wild horses and burros at the December BLM Advisory Board Meeting. Sadly, it was later discovered that while we and other prominent horse advocates were speaking out for our equines at the meeting, the BLM was secretly rounding up more horses.
"Our American horses (race horses, pet horses, wild horses, show horses, burros...) are penned up right now in freezing weather in holding pens and on trailers all over the country, doomed to please the palate of wealthy diners abroad. Pro-slaughter proponents including the BLM also plan to remove thousands of wild horses from our public lands during the dead of winter 2009 and 2010.
"WFLF continues to work through the holidays to document these atrocities and stop the cruelty and we will not stop fighting for the protection of all equines from slaughter until they are safe."
