Anti Horse Slaughter Billboards

Glenville, PA - Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue (www.saveahorsenow.org) is pleased to announce that the newest billboard in their campaign to educate the general public about horse slaughter has gone up in Calgary, Canada, home of the Calgary Stampede. Horses that are not suitable as "bucking stock" for the stampede are sent to slaughter cites a May 2012 article by the Vancouver Humane Society http://www.vancouverhumanesociety.bc.ca/calgary-stampede-sends-young-horses-to-slaughter/

The billboard guides the reader to its companion website www.stopslaughteringus.ca which provides up to date factual information regarding horse slaughter and what residents of Canada can do to help end slaughter in their country.

According to the USDA, exactly 133,241 U.S. horses were sent to slaughter last year. These horses are transported to Mexico and Canada in double decker trailers for slaughter and the meat is shipped to Europe for human consumption. Angel Acres’ grassroots campaign is funded strictly by horse advocates donating to the billboard campaign. The educational campaign is separate from the rescue activities.

Charlotte Uhrich, board sponsor said, "We are pleased to put this Anti Horse Slaughter Billboard up in support of NDP MP Alex Atamanenko and his Bill C-322, a Bill to end horse slaughter in Canada. Horse slaughter is inhumane and barbaric, we do not slaughter and eat our companion animals in Canada. The closet door has been opened to Canada's dirty little secret and it is time to end this evil practice." 

Acres Horse Haven Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit rescue located in Glenville, PA dedicated to saving horses bound for slaughter for human consumption.

 Named one of beneficiaries of Pimlico Racetrack Horse Show

Glenville, PA - Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue (www.saveahorsenow.org) is honored to announce they have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Totally Thoroughbred Horse Show at Pimlico Racetrack, Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday July 14, 2012.

There will be eight different classes held in the infield of the racetrack during the day with six ribbons awarded for each class and more than $4000 in prize money. HTRV will streamline the horse show live from Pimlico.

Classes include: “Old Hilltop Leadline, “MJC” Walk, “MHBA” Walk Trot, “The Jockey Club” Walk/Trot/Canter, “HRTV” Trot over Fences, “MTHA” Trot over Fences, “Adena Springs” Trot over Fences and the “Pimlico Perpetual Trophy”. Vendor tents will be set up in the infield and spectators are welcome.

Jo Deibel, Founder and Director of Angel Acres, said, “Angel Acres is super happy that the Md. Jockey Club and Adena Springs Retirement Farm put this show together as it helps to raise awareness about all of the outstanding Thoroughbreds that are available and are looking for second careers at rescues around the nation.”

The money from the horse show entries will be divided among 3 horse rescue charities that have helped the track find homes for horses that raced in Maryland. In addition to Angel Acres they include, MidAtlantic Horse Rescue and Thoroughbred Placement Rescources. Both Angel Acres and MidAtlantic Horse Rescue are accredited by GFAS.
