More than 80 neglected horses are on the brink of giving up, but United Animal Nations (UAN) and a team of our dedicated Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) volunteers are not giving up on them!
Over Thanksgiving weekend, a team of EARS volunteers gave up their holiday plans to help care for 84 severely emaciated horses seized from a property in Cannon County, Tennessee.
Months of starvation have left these horses with ribs and hip bones protruding and the spark to live almost completely gone. One mother was so malnourished she wasn’t producing any milk for her two-day-old foal. Janell Matthies, UAN emergency services manager, stayed up with him through many nights of regular feedings to ensure his survival.

December 2, 2009 – CHICAGO, (EWA) – Wild horse advocates from around the US reacted with dismay and outrage Wednesday as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that the Calico Complex round-up of over 2,700 wild horses will proceed on December 28 as planned. Despite receiving over 10,000 public comments on the impending round-up, the BLM turned a tin ear to the public outcry and indicated it will sign a “No Impact” decision. A no impact decision means that the public comments sent to the BLM had absolutely no impact on their decision to move forward with the round-up.
This egregious decision further perpetuates the perception that the BLM is managing the wild herds to extinction. John Holland, EWA President said of the decision:
“The BLM is operating in direct opposition to the very law that they are charged with enforcing (the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act). This outrageous decision makes a mockery of the whole public comment process.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=9081
