A horrific situation was brought to my attention by someone who had gone up to Havasupai Falls this past weekend. She personally witnessed horses deceased from starvation and numerous others being starved to death along with a pony digging through the trash for food. The pack horses are also in bad shape. It is time for this to stop!
The horses that are in the most dire condition are located in the Supai Village which tourists must travel through to get to Havasupai Falls . The village can only be reached on foot (8 miles) or by helicopter.
One group witnessed one of the pack horses falling off the cliff and just being left to die in agony!!!
Peta has been notified. More needs to be done.
There are several business that are benefitting from the tourism which should be contacted.
Airwest Helicopter 623-516-2790
(if they are taking people in and out why can't they bring some horse feed with them)
The Lodge 928-448-2111
The Camp Grounds 928-448-2121

We are waiting to get contact info for the tribal police. The only way this situation will be corrected is if tourism is affected. Please make calls and forward to anyone you think can help by getting involved.
Thank you,
Carrie
