BREAKING: @RepSchakowsky & @VernBuchanan have reintroduced the SAFE Act to ban horse slaughter. We applaud them for their leadership on this issue and for hearing the voices of the overwhelming majority of Americans that want slaughter banned for good. #yes2safe #wildhorses Image
We'll have a bill number for the new SAFE Act and ways for you to support this important legislation later in the day. #yes2safe #wildhorses #nohorseslaughter
Read the press release from RTF and other animal welfare groups supporting the SAFE Act here: bit.ly/2DJVsco #yes2safe #wildhorses #nohorseslaughter
The newly introduced SAFE Act to ban horse slaughter and transportation of horses for slaughter is H.R. 875.

TAKE ACTION: Send a message urging your representative to support this important legislation: bit.ly/2MLsEmE #wildhorses #yes2safe #nohorseslaughter
UPDATE: Because of an apparent filing error, the SAFE Act will be getting a new bill number. We'll let you know what it is as soon as its available.
UPDATE: We should have a new bill number for the SAFE Act to ban horse slaughter early next week. Don't let the delay stop you from sending a message to your representative in favor of ending horse slaughter: bit.ly/2MLsEmE #wildhorses #yes2safe #nohorseslaughter

Spirit, the Kiger mustang stallion who served as model for animators of @Dreamworks 2002 Oscar-nominated film #SpiritStallionoftheCimarron turned 25 on May 8. We spent months planning a birthday party to celebrate his big day and raise funds for our sanctuary... #horses 1/5
2/5 ...Because of the pandemic, we canceled our planned event. But the story of America’s wild horses and burros of determination--so we moved Spirit’s party online for a yearlong celebration to raise funds for the 500+ wild horses and burros in our care... 2/5 #horses
3/5 ...On Spirit’s page, you can find videos from the movie’s screenwriter, @JohnFusco12, one of the film’s co-directors, Lorna Cook, birthday wishes from friends and fans, coloring pages and, of course, video of Spirit... #horses #spiritstallionofthecimarron

For 1 more day, your donation to RTF will do even more to keep wild horse family bands, like Chief and Shuwa's band, together.

Until Friday at 11:59 p.m. East / 8:59 p.m. West, @GlobalGiving is matching donations up to $50 at 50% at bit.ly/2WDMpn6 #horses 1/6 Image
The difference between $50 and $75 made possible by the matching campaign is the difference between treating two mares with fertility control and treating three mares ($25 covers the cost of the vaccine PZP plus adjuvant in one dart). #horses 2/6
Safe, proven and humane PZP allows us to keep stallions and mares together, providing as natural of a lifestyle as we can while responsibly managing our numbers. #horses 3/6

Happy #FoalFriday!—Meet Neptune, a colt born on Friday, Feb. 21, at our #Lompoc, Calif., headquarters sanctuary, to Juno, a member of our Hart Mountain herd. His sire is Freedom. #horses 1/6 Image
At RTF, we have used the immunocontraceptive vaccine PZP since 2000 to allow stallions and mares to live together in their family bands while curbing the rate of reproduction. We’ve done so with a 91-98% efficacy rate, so we do welcome the occasional adorable foal. #horses 2/6 Image
RTF is a proponent of the use of safe, proven and humane fertility control as a key tool to slow wild horse and burro reproduction, allowing for he phase-out of the government’s nearly 50-year-old practice of capturing and removing wild horses. #horses 3/6 Image

Thread: Meet Ruby Tuesday! This filly was born to Diamond (at left in the video) overnight on Jan. 21 at our Lompoc, Calif., headquarters sanctuary. Ruby Tuesday’s sire is Samir, who, like Diamond, is descendent of our of foundation herd from Hart Mountain in Oregon. 1/6 #horses
At RTF, we use fertility control to manage our numbers. Occasional births come as a not entirely unwelcome surprise because, well, the foals are so darn adorable. 2/6 #horses
RTF advocates for the use of safe, proven and humane fertility control to slow–not stop--wild horse reproduction, allowing for minimally invasive on-range management of wild horses and the phase-out of the government’s practice of capturing and removing wild horses. 3/6 #horses

Thread: Azure was about 8 years old in 2015 when the BLM captured and removed him and 200 wild horses close to starving due to drought in an emergency roundup from the Wheeler Pass Joint Management Area near Cold Creek, Nev.. 28 severely emaciated #horses were euthanized. 1/5 Image
A wild horse enthusiast who had been photographing the herd was distraught when she learned that the BLM had captured and removed the horses she loved. RTF tracked down the horses to a ranch in Utah the agency had contracted with to feed the horses back to health. 2/5 #horses ImageImage
The photographer and local advocates were able to identify 10 of the horses that they were familiar with, including Azure, which grazed together on the range. The group is now thriving together on our 2,000-acre San Luis Obispo, Calif., satellite sanctuary. 3/5 #horses Image
