KDKA TV Pittsburgh Airs Horse Slaughter Story

The EPN's Chris Berry assisted KDKA TV Investigator Marty Griffin in 
his investigation into the horse slaughter issue. The news stories 
aired on April 30 at 6PM & 11PM.

You can view the video on the first story at:

http://www.kdka.com/local/investigatorvideo/

Scroll down to:

"Animal Rights Groups Fighting To Stop The Sale & Slaughter Of U.S. 

Horses For Consumption In Foreign Countries"

Note: The year of Ferdinand's KY Derby win was mistakenly reported 

as 1996 instead 1986. 

Pittsburgh Magazine's May issue features another story on horse 

slaughter. 

"The Final Roundup" 

"Story by Charlie Deitch / Illustrations by David Pohl

When horses get old or are no longer wanted by their owners, some 

are sold for consumption overseas. Animal rights advocates are 

trying to put an end to this controversial—some say necessary—

practice."

Contact Pittsburgh Magazine at WQED.com for a copy of the story.

EPN Sanctuary Program!

http://www.equineprotectionnetwork.com/saveamericashorses/sanctuary.h
tm

The EPN has established a Sanctuary Program for unwanted, neglected, 
abused and slaughterbound horses. Horses in the program are not 
available for adoption, but are in need of people willing to make a 
financial committment to help the EPN provide for these horses for 
the remainder of their lives. Horses accepted into the program must 
meet certain qualifications. The EPN focuses on horses that have 
been the victims of neglect and cruelty in situations where there 
has been an investigation by law enforcement resulting in the 
forfeiture of the horse due to a court order.

The EPN has set these guidelines due to our philosophy that owners 
must be held accountable for their actions if we are to truly make a 
difference for the welfare of horses.

The EPN can only accept a limited number of horses due to financial 
resources and space limitations. The cost of caring and feeding for 
each of our horses in the program runs $250.00 a month for a total 
of $3000.00 a year. This includes feeding and sheltering the 
horses,and veterinary, farrier and dental care.

Sponsorship

Individual Sponsorships:

You can sponsor one of the EPN Sanctuary horses for as little as 
1.65 a day! This is great project for riding clubs, schools, youth 
groups and other organizations. Sponsorships can also be shared.

Individual sponsorship does not cover the entire cost of maintaining 
horses in our program, but it does help to offset the cost. One 
horse needs five individual sponsors at $50.00 a month to cover the 
entire cost of caring for one horse.

Each of our horses has an important story to tell, please take the 
time to visit their pages, and remember your donation ensures these 
horses a sanctuary for the rest of their lives.

Corporate Sponsorship:

A donation of $3000.00 covers all expenses involved to maintain an 
EPN Sanctuary Horse for one year and provides a website link to your 
company's website.
