Since 2010, Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) has saved over 1,400 horses, donkeys and farm animals from abuse, neglect and slaughter. Rescued horses in our therapy program have helped numerous individuals struggling from a variety of illnesses. Our educational programs continue to bring awareness of animal abuse and protective programs to communities throughout San Diego County, California.
Each week, more than 6000 equines are rounded up throughout the United States, crammed into hot trucks without food or water and sent to slaughter facilities.
Throughout the process, these animals are neglected and abused. Many of them already suffering from broken bones and malnourishment. Worse yet, in addition to stallions and mares, often young equine foals are found among the group heading to the slaughterhouses.
