New Horse Sanctuary in Oregon

I've written about the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) before and the good deeds they do. Well add another one. They recently opened a new horse shelter, the HSUS Duchess Sanctuary in southern Oregon.

This facility is a 1,120 acre ranch near Roseburg, Oregon and will serve as a sister facility to the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, in East Texas, another HSUS facility.

As many of you know, the creation of this new facility could not have come at a better time. Perhaps it will even combat some of the outlandish claims in the mainstream press about the increase in unwanted and abandoned horses now that the U. S. has finally closed its slaughter facilities.

The HSUS now has two 1,000 plus acres facilities on which to provide care for horses in addition to their Cape Wildlife Center in the Northeast and the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in southern California--covering the four corners of the U. S., so to speak.

This new facility was created by some hefty donations from some private foundations. Kudos to HSUS for their continued good deeds on behalf of animals everywhere.
