These starving horses deserve better, and we’re fighting to save them. View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]John,

They should have received life-long care and sanctuary. Instead, dozens of horses suffered neglect at the hands of a so-called “rescue”
organization
[[link removed]] which was entrusted to protect them.

For over 30 years, the California Equine Retirement Foundation (CERF) accepted
donations with the stated mission of rehabilitating horses and providing them a
forever home. But according to witnesses, the horses residing at CERF were being neglected —
underfed to the point of starvation, with untreated medical conditions that
caused suffering and death.

John, these horses are victims of animal cruelty —
and we will pursue every legal avenue to ensure their safety and win justice on
their behalf. We need your help to fight this legal battle, save these horses, and spare
countless other animals from suffering a similar fate.

One former CERF volunteer claimed that a horse named Eagle Rock suffered for
five days, after showing signs of a fatal digestive disorder, before dying
without ever seeing a veterinarian. In fact, last year 44 horses were removed
from CERF’s property amid these allegations. But CERF has refused to allow the remaining horses — approximately 20 of them —
to be removed.

PROTECT ANIMALS NOW!
[[link removed]]This case underscores the urgent need for horses and other animals to be granted
greater legal protections. We’re fighting for those protections every single
day, but we — and the animals — need you beside us. Please donate now.

For the animals,
