PLEASE HELP THESE INNOCENT VICTIMS RESCUED FROM THE OVERTURNED TRUCK THEY WERE IN ON WAY TO SLAUGHTER

BE A HORSE HERO AND HELP GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO HORSES RESCUED FROM A RECENT HORRIFIC INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ACCIDENT!

Currently, the Humane Society of Missouri is seeking custody of 25 horses and a hinny (product of a female ass and male horse), so that they will not be sent for slaughter. Your generous donations will help the Humane Society of Missouri’s Longmeadow Rescue Ranch secure ownership of these animals, meet the mounting medical expenses to treat their injuries from the accident and provide a safe haven for all of them.

On Wednesday, Sept. 27, the Humane Society of Missouri’s Disaster Rescue Team aided the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Franklin County Sheriff's office in the aftermath of the semi-trailer accident on I-44 involving 42 horses headed for slaughter in DeKalb, IL. Twenty-five horses and one hinny survived the accident.

Seventeen horses and the henny are currently in the care of several regional equine hospitals. The remaining eight horses are being cared for at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch.

The animals sustained numerous serious injuries including head trauma and neck, body and leg lacerations and bruises. Some are suffering from colic and many are stiff and sore. At least one horse may be partially paralyzed from lying beneath other horses after the accident and one mare is pregnant.

Make a donation online or call 314-951-1542 to help with the recovery of one or more of the injured horses pictured with their descriptions below. If you would rather donate to the entire horse rescue and recovery operation, please click here.
