WFLF's Lifetime Equine Refuge is a proud member of the Home for Horses Coalition. The Homes for Horses Coalition is dedicated to ending horse slaughter and other forms of equine abuse while promoting growth, collaboration and professionalism in the equine rescue and protection community.

TAs part of the Homes for Horses Coalition we believe that:
· Every horse has intrinsic value and deserves humane treatment at all stages in life.
· The horse industry, including the equine veterinary medical profession, has an obligation to promote responsible horse breeding, ownership and care.
· Horse owners have a responsibility to provide high-quality, long-term care for their horses.
· All horses deserve a humane end to life and that horse slaughter is neither humane nor acceptable.

We firmly support Saving America's Horses' United Stance Against Horse Slaughter (USAH)

Horse slaughter is NOT humane and cannot be made humane
Horse slaughter does NOT stop; has nothing to do with Abuse, Neglect or Abandonment of equines
Americans do NOT support human consumption of horsemeat
A Federal Law permanently banning horse slaughter in the US is necessary
A Fed Law permanently banning the transport of Equines for slaughter is necessary
Wild horses and burros belong free on the range
A moratorium on all BLM round ups is necessary
Horses may become homeless, but No horse is “unwanted”
Horse owners should have the right to humanely euthanize their equine
Equine owners and breeders must take responsibility for the life of each equine in their charge
