Finch, J. (2008). Habitat for Horses, Your Equine Protection Organization. Retrieved Mar. 8, 2008, from http://www.habitatforhorses.org/index.html.

This non-profit organization advocates for horses and humane treatment of them. It tries to protect horses and provide them with rights so they can have a happy life. They are happy to provide information to the public and want to enforce the laws that “protect abused, endangered, and neglected horses through a volunteer network.” Willie Nelson, a famous singer in the United States known by many, supports this group. This would be a good source because they are an active group in the U.S. and will be able to explain why they, like so many other groups, want to end the horse slaughter with reasons that back up their information.

The Equine Advocates promotes the “humane and responsible treatment of horses.” They are involved in five main issues, including equine rescue, horse slaughter, wild horse issues, the pregnant mare urine industry, and the prevention of equine abuse. This organization was featured on the Martha Stewart show and she is also a supporter of this group. They keep the website up-to-date and follow the anti-slaughter bill to see how it evolves. It also tries to rally supporters. This website provides information about the slaughter ban and reasons why they believe we should end the horse slaughter.
