FOXY

Foxy was rescued from a livestock auction in California and originally was sent to another rescue that we actually had to re-rescue him from. A very sad state of affairs and as such he never really had the fanfare of an arrival that other mustangs we took in had. We have the attitude that if we don’t have anything nice to say then we say nothing. But Foxy is a very special boy. His face is covered with a million scars and scrapes that have healed but it makes me very sad to imagine what he might have gone through to get them.

He is a Nevada mustang from Triple B, a herd that once again is to be rounded up and decimated by the BLM this summer 2019. Sadly Foxy may be one of the last horses from this spectacular herd but he is safe at Skydog and always the first to the hay cart when it comes around. #skydogfoxy

Mustangs & 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.
