#Donkeys #burros in #killpens are in demand for #skins to be boiled into #ejiao #gelatin mainly for #Chinese beauty products & medicine. Vulnerable #babies often die of #infections in filthy kill pen conditions. Learn more about these beautiful animals: bit.ly/4aZwzGg

83% of Americans oppose #horse #slaughter , but 2 professional #veterinary orgs and a small number of Tribes prevented the #SafeAct of 2021 from reaching a #vote in the House. Please ask your Rep & Senators to support and pass the SAFE Act of 2023 (HR3475). bit.ly/3NY0564

Mr. Bojangles & Grey Lady were born at BLM #corrals to #wildmustang #mares from #WarmSprings HMA in #OR . Adopted out together as #yearlings , she was bred, had a #filly , Pipsqueak. The family traveled a hard road that led to a #killpen , but ends happily ever after at #Skydog .

Wild horse advocates win a court battle against the Bureau of Land Management more than 2 years after a colt died in a Nevada roundup trib.al/pT4CK9F #8NN

BREAKING! #Wildhorses win big in court! >> tinyurl.com/52bp8kha
The court has set a deadline for a real management plan to be crafted & remanded the roundup plan back to the agency for full analysis of things like wildfire impacts.
This case sets a badly needed precedent.

The Adoption Incentive Program of @blmnational incentivizes #criminals , who adopt #wildhorses and #burros , dump them in #killpens for their meat price, then adopt more. Sign petition to defund the #AIP , investigate #BLM corruption, and prosecute violators. bit.ly/3PEkYUW

We do not breed horses, but we do rescue #mares who were roundedup by Bureau of Land Management - National #pregnant or bred by traders to add weight to their meat price for #slaughter . #Foals feel and bring so much #love & #joy as they grow up with their #families in #Skydog #wild .

#Skydog Horse Love podcast S2/E7 The owners of 3 #equine #sanctuaries discuss what it means to truly save animals in the face of #massbailing #scams #donorfraud and weak #animallaws . You can watch it on Skydog’s Patreon or YouTube Channel #horses #donkeys #animalrescue

Thanks to the huge response to our fundraiser for #SouthSteens #mares Calypso, Chardonnay, Cloud, all 3 are now home at #Skydog . The scents & sounds of their natural habitat nourish their souls as nutritious feed & clean water nourish their bodies. Renegade’s #goldeneagle soars.

Calypso, mother of the #SouthSteens #HMA legend - Renegade - has been located in BLM corrals 2 years after being rounded up. In her 20s, she is deeply bonded with 2 other senior #mares . We are #fundraising to bring them all to #Skydog with a goal $5000. bit.ly/3I1ucWT

Who steals the #nursing #foals of deeply bonded #wildhorses ? For @blmwyoming, it’s just a day’s fun. Utter disregard for the #sentience of other #species , total ignorance of #equine #bonding and #herddynamics by a federal bureau mandated to protect them. bit.ly/4bMvOSd
