EDEN
Eden is a 15 year old mare from Callaghan NV, near where the Antelope round up is going on right now in the brutal heat. But Eden is one of the lucky ones who made it to safety, unlike many we know we will see in the slaughter pipeline in a year. She’s the sweetest girl all-around, even helping to get us all through the loss of Rooster. Without Rooster there would have been no Eden. I only looked at the kill pen pages for him to have a friend. And it’s a miracle to find a gentle, older, in need mustang mare right when we needed one. We will always remember Rooster, and we’re forever grateful that through him we managed to bring this one to her own paradise in Oregon. #skydogeden
Mustangs and Burros Need Your Help
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.
