"The 40 acre farm next to the Dallas Crown horse slaughter plant in Kaufman, Texas has been in my family for 150 years." Mary Nash

These are Dallas Crown horses waiting for slaughter. Do they look old, sick, crippled or crazy to you?
Mary Nash
Kaufman, Texas |
"People lie. And for so many years they’ve been lying about this horse slaughter plant. They’ve been saying, 'Oh, all the horses over there are old and sick and crippled.' Well that’s not right. They’re just saying that so that nobody will question what they do." Mary Nash, from "Blood Country...a Texas Shame."

The film "Saving America's Horses" is a compelling compilation of expert testimony, undercover footage and true life stories shot against the dramatic backdrops of the American countryside. Viewers will adventure across the nation's sweeping landscapes to witness the magnificence, power and free spirit of one of America’s most treasured icons, the horse.
PSA Message from Deb Lopez
Review - “Saving America’s Horses is a powerhouse narrative, telling of the often inglorious fate of our glorious horses, bought by ‘killer buyers’ for slaughter. This film takes in every aspect and tells its story with intelligence and a deep-running composure. The factual authority of soft-spoken experts, the dismay of a racehorse jockey, the anger of horse owners deceived, and the vows of politicians committed to righting a wrong--all play alongside the beauty and inspiration of America’s horses and the determination of those working to save them.” – Paula Bacon, Former Mayor Kaufman Texas
