On Wednesday, the Homes for Horses Coalition launched their website, a wonderful resource tool for those interested in the welfare of horses. Although I haven't studied it from top to bottom, the site seems to provide a wealth of information on a broad range of topics--from how to operate a horse rescue facility to lots of background information on the horse slaughter debate.
The site further lists all organizations that comply with the equine welfare standards approved by the Homes For Horses Coalition, including the Animal Welfare Institute and the Humane Society of the United States.
This group has a great deal of experience and information regarding equine welfare and is eager to provide it to those just testing the waters. "Our cumulative expertise puts The Homes for Horses Coalition in a unique position to advocate for equines from a perspective that puts equine welfare above commercial interests," said Keith Danes, director of equine protection for The Humane Society of the United States, in a press release announcing the new site.
If you are looking for background information on the horse slaughter bills that are floating around Congress, this is a good place to start. If you are moved to act, Americans Against Horse Slaughter are lobbying in Washington on March 4 and 5.
