New England Equine Rescues

Equine Crisis Intervention... 
         
Started in '05...New England Equine Rescues (NEER) is a growing 501(c)3 non profit organization that networks horse people all over the New England region. NEER is dedicated to helping all horses (we especially love the old and unwanted) in any way, including direct intervention for abused or slaughter-bound equines, effective horse placement, fundraising, and active support of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.  NEER needs good homes, foster homes, volunteers, transport, advice, referrals, and as much support as we can to help stop the abuse, neglect, and slaughter of horses. We are a large NETWORK of people ranging from an extra stall to larger non profit organizations.  We welcome all horse people, location is not important. The more people, the better the network.  NEER is 100% volunteer...nobody is paid.

NEER was originally formed to answer a need within the equine community to network hard to place horses that were not able to find sanctuary in over crowded rescue organizations in New England. As an organization, the mission has expanded. Today, NEER actively rescues horses from a variety of situations, including owner surrenders, abuse and neglect situations, and horses at risk for slaughter. NEER provides sanctuary and rehabilitation in foster homes with the intention of adoption into new families as appropriate.  NEER works closely with, and for, other traditional equine rescue organizations, assisting with fundraising efforts and equipment donations. NEER is a member of the Horse Rescue Coalition, Homes for Horses Coalition, among other horse welfare organizations.  NEER remains an all volunteer organization relying 100% on donations from members; the community; and fundraising achievements to provide for the welfare of equines in need throughout New England. In 2008 alone, NEER provided assistance for over 50 horses in need.  No one at NEER receives a paycheck for their hard work; it is all done from the heart for the horses. Your generous support will help NEER continue their work and to support the horses that are in their care awaiting new homes.  Please consider sending a tax deductable donation today. Every dollar is greatly appreciated.

  NEER does not sell ANY horses.
  NEER does not condone the breeding of rescues.
  NEER has NO paid members.
  NEER tries to do what's best for the horses, not the people.  
  (and we are sorry for any feelings that we may have hurt.)

PLEASE educate yourselves about slaughter... the cruelty, the suffering, and all of the propaganda and outright lies told to keep putting $ into the 'horse industey's' pocket.,  See the Slaughter page, it is informative, NOT graphic (unless you click on a link.)

!!Note:  If at any time you have dealings with someone claiming to be a part of NEER and you do not particularly like the way you were treated, please contact Beth...fatoldfarmwife@verizon or Mary... martinmaryd@comcast.net!!

CAUTION: Cathy in CT...always looking for free and cheap animals 'for her daughter' or some 'girl whose father was killed'...she collects free
and cheap animals and sends them to auction/slaughter for the money.  Now claims to have a rescue.   For more info, or to add your bad experience...fatoldfarmwife@verizon.net

SLAUGHTER.:

All three American slaughter plants are now closed, thousands of horses have been saved.  We need to pass HR503/S311 to stop the transport of horses to  Canada and Mexico, where slaughter is far more brutal.  (140,000+ horses went to slaughter in '08)

Extensive slaughter info: http://flyingfilly.com/horse_slaughter.htm (not graphic).

~ 80% of first time horse owners get rid of their horse within 5 years.

~ Every 5 minutes an American horse is slaughtered for human consumption.92% of horses going to slaughter are in good condition.

~ In just nine years (1997-05), the American horse industry has grown from $25.3 billion to $39 billion, an increase of 55%.

~ The equine population in the United States has expanded from 6.9 million to 9.2 million horses, an increase of 33%.

~ Meanwhile, the number of horse owners has risen from 1.9 million to 2.0 million, a modest increase of only about 5%.

~ "Most neglect and abuse cases can be resolved through owner education.  Educational programs using existing resources should be developed and accessible to all facets of society."
