Horse Protection Day is March 1st (I know I missed it by a couple months. I just found out about it.) It was founded by pet lifestyle expert and animal behaviorist Colleen Page to bring awareness to the plight of both wild horses and unwanted horses being auctioned to be slaughtered for their meat.

Hey, now! No more of that, right? While it is illegal in the U.S., the bill banning it comes up for renewal EVERY YEAR. It has to be fought every year. Every year.

No, there is no justification for this. You can read a great article on it from March this year (2018) from USA Today.

Let’s keep our horses close to our hearts. Not our bank accounts.
