Today's News

Our newest members in Italy, the Italian Horse Protection Association, is asking for our help to sign a petition to ban street horse races in Italy. I don't have a word document of the newsletter that I can paste here so I've included a link to the PDF. I have also pasted the link to the petition and a YouTube video that are also in the newsletter.

Please take a moment to sign the petition.

And...last but not least, EWA became a 501(c)(4) in February. We plan to try to establish funds to help with investigations, litigation for the wild ones (not initiating our own lawsuits but supporting others such as Wild Horse Freedom Federation, in their efforts). We'd also like to have funds on hand so if we have to send someone to lobby in DC or at the state level, we can do it. Our determination letter, EIN number and details are on this page - http://www.equinewelfarealliance.org/How_You_Can_Help.html
