JOE PESCI
We had the haul arranged and paid for and suddenly up popped this little boy. He looked sad, lost and we had room. What are you going to do? Take him that’s what. And thank God we did. Within a day or so he looked a little sickly, so our amazing hauler stopped at a vet hospital and we caught his pneumonia just in time. He has been at the hospital for a couple of weeks and will be back to Malibu soon. Keep a look out for this wonderful boy’s new life to begin. Joe Pesci, thank you for fighting and for hanging in to live another day here at Skydog. Clever little boy didn’t want to go to Oregon and be part of a herd. He wanted to come to Skydog Malibu and be a movie star donkey. I have a feeling this boy will win a lot of hearts in Southern California x
Helping Mustangs & Burros
In addition to supporting our work by donating, becoming a patron on Patreon, or sponsoring a Skydog, there are several important pieces of legislation to protect American equines currently moving through Congress. It only takes a few minutes to contact your Rep and Senators and urge them to support these bills:
Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2023 (H.R. 3475 in the House / S.2307 in the Senate). This bill will shut down the slaughter pipeline that sends some 20,000 American horses and donkeys to savagely monstrous deaths in foreign slaughterhouses every year.
The Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H. R. 3656) This bill will prohibit the use of helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft in the management of wild mustangs and burros on public lands, and require a report on humane alternatives to current management practices.
Ejiao Act of 2023 (H.R. 6021). To ban the sale or transportation of ejiao, a gelatin made from boiling donkey skins, or products containing ejiao in interstate or foreign commerce, which brutally kills millions of donkeys primarily for beauty products and Chinese medicine.
