Abandoned Horses - The Rising Concern Of Equine Society.
"The Abandoned Horse" is an idiom used to describe horses which are no longer cared by its owners. Some of the horse owners are either dispassionate or they might not be in a position to care for their horses due to the financial situation. Nowadays the price of hay and grains are rising rapidly, so many horse owners are finding it very difficult to take care of them with proper food and care.
So what happens to all these neglected horses? Throughout the United States, horse rescue agencies are working hard trying to save as many of these animals as they can, and are struggling to raise funds to provide food and care for them. Although there are many horse rescue agencies, the fact is that they do not begin to meet the needs of the huge number of unwanted horses. The economy and rising costs of caring for rescued horses are causing many rescues to close their doors. As more rescues are forced to close, the number of horses in need increase rapidly. Add the 100,000 horses that will be saved from slaughter in 2008 and you have a real nightmare.
According to the annual report, over 100,000 horses from USA were slaughtered and transported to other countries for human consumption. Recent studies states that out of 100,000 horses 93% of the horses are healthy, but still they are slayed.
As a horse owner or a horse lover what can you do to solve this crisis? If you are a horse owner, dedicate some time for your horse and provide them all they need. And when you think that you are not in a position to offer proper care for your horse, find out a good rescue agency who care for horses, and admit them. It would be great to educate people about this rising equine crisis.
Even though you don't own a horse, dedicate your time in rescuing some of the horses which are in need around you. This would be one of the greatest thing you can do to offer a second life for those abandoned animals. If you are not in a position to help physically, then you can help rescues economically by joining some welknown horse rescue associations.
By working together we will create a stronger more efficient network of rescuers to benefit more horses and people.
