The Kaeli Kramer Foundation is happy to announce our support of the film Saving America’s Horses: A Nation Betrayed. This film will address an issue that weighed heavily on Kaeli’s heart: horse slaughter. Each year 100,000 American horses end their lives at the slaughterhouse. Not only older horses with aches and pains accumulated from a lifetime of of faithful service, but healthy, vibrant horses as well. Every day, thousands of horses are being shipped across state and federal borders to later face gruesome slaughter in Mexico and Canada. The BLM is rounding up thousands of wild horses from across the west. They are held captive in holding pens and when they cannot be adopted they too are shipped to be slaughtered.
The mission of this important documentary film is to protect all equines from slaughter, both domestic and wild. SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES is a compelling compilation of expert testimony and true life stories. It takes a tender yet honest look at the reality that American horses are born into, and the love, joy and respect they give us. Through following the life stories of these proud and majestic American horses, this film explores the untold truth about what should be “the quiet retirement of Thoroughbreds”, “the freedom of wild horses and burros” and “the peaceful demise of once loved horses”.This film will give the the horses who serve us so selflessly, but who cannot speak for themselves, a voice. It is our responsibility to make ourselves knowledgeable about this issue, which to the horses, is a matter of “life and death.”
Featuring Paul Sorvino, Tippi Hedren, Michael Blake, Linda Gray, Ginger Kathrens, Dr Nicholas Dodman, Paula Bacon, Nick Zito, Craig Downer, Dr Elliot Katz and many more!
