Colorado’s Constitution is not a trophy room, and wild animals are not targets, props, or “resources” to harvest. Amendment 83’s supporters clearly see things otherwise. Vote NO on Amendment 83. Read more about what your vote means for wildlife: friendsofanimals.org/friends… #Colorado

Finally, NYC voted to ban the carriage horse trade. After 40 years of fighting for the horses’ freedom, FoA isn’t relenting. Not until all 180 horses set foot in accredited sanctuaries, where they can choose how to spend their days and never again suffer at the hands of humans.

The bill to ban carriage horses in NYC has passed. We celebrate this victory for the horses as we spent over four decades advocating for this moment. Friends of Animals will ensure every horse goes to accredited sanctuaries. Count on it. History is made. Thank you @SpeakerMenin

FoA is here at City Hall Park. The bill passed through the health committee this morning, and the rally just ended. The bill goes for a final vote at 1:30 p.m. We are here to deliver the message that once the bill is passed all carriage horses must go to accredited sanctuaries.

At our Texas sanctuary, rescued wild horses roam, graze and rest without being ridden or made to work. They’ll never be sold or traded. We’ve offered that same lifelong care to six NYC carriage horses, with 20 acres to call home. Horses owe us nothing. We owe them everything.

This Thursday, NYC Council will vote to end the carriage horse trade. For decades, FoA has fought to end this exploitation. We’ve pledged $25,000 and offered sanctuary to six horses. At our Texas sanctuary, rescued horses flourish with the care and dignity every horse deserves.

FoA celebrates end of horse carriage trade, acknowledges there is more work ahead: friendsofanimals.org/foa-cel…

Colorado’s wildlife is under attack from a well-funded trophy hunting agenda. Amendment 83 would make hunting and fishing the “preferred” means of wildlife management in the state Constitution. Colorado voters: Vote NO on Amendment 83. Read more: friendsofanimals.org/friends…

So-called “animal rights groups” celebrate Switzerland’s “fur sale ban.” But fur that meets certification rules still being developed can be imported and sold. Animals will still die for their coats. Regulating atrocities is nothing to celebrate. friendsofanimals.org/switzer…

We’re cheering Winchester and Bethel, CT, for banning anticoagulant rodenticides on municipal properties! These local wins strengthen FoA’s push for a statewide ban on these ghastly poisons. Your town could be next. Read more: friendsofanimals.org/two-mor…
