Mustang Lives Matter

MHBS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that offers sanctuary to equines at risk of slaughter, particularly mustangs.  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM ) is rounding up and warehousing thousands of wild horses and burros every year.  But, there are limited homes available for them.  Wild horses have many fears to overcome in order to live in a domestic environment.  Their reactions to fear are often misunderstood and taken for aggression.  This results in stronger and more dominating methods to "train" them. This increases their fear reactions of flight or fight.  Often, they wind up at auctions and then slaughter plants because they cannot be safely handled or ridden.  Horse slaughter is even more brutal than cattle slaughter because when the stun gun is shot at their faces intending to knock them unconscious, horses typically move their head and are not rendered unconscious.  Often, they suffer facial bone fractures when the bolt from the stun gun misses.  And, they are conscious through the slaughter process.
