The Keep Them Off The Truck Fund has supported ASIAB when they go to the horsemeat auction houses in Texas.
We were not a part of this particular rescue, however, LAST MONTH, ASIAB rescued this mare who was in the straight-to-slaughter pen.
Look at her. (It is not true that healthy, young or pregnant horses don’t go to slaughter. They do. Often.)
This mare was enormous and clearly pregnant – or suffering a tumor the size of a baby.

A closeup of her belly in the feedlot… Could you imagine this mare going to slaughter?!
THE MARE WAS SAVED ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS!
Thanks to ASIAB, many of the horses there were saved. I think 45, but not exactly sure. Anyway, this mare made it to safety… and within 30 days, gave birth… to TWINS! And they are not identical. One is tiny and red and one is big and probably a roan. Both fillies.
AND THEY BOTH SURVIVED! Amazing!
Wow!
