Starving Horses with Protruding Bones Reportedly Found on Havasupai Reservation—Demand Justice

Target: U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland

Goal: Ensure full investigation and prosecution of those reportedly responsible for the severe neglect and starvation of horses on the Havasupai Reservation.

A group of horses on the Havasupai Reservation were reportedly found in a horrifying state—starving, malnourished, with their ribs and hip bones painfully visible. Eyewitnesses have claimed that some horses collapsed under their heavy packs, while others were tied up for days without food or water, their skin rubbed raw beneath their burdens.

Photographs taken by hikers and tourists appear to reveal emaciated horses appearing lethargic and visibly unwell, frequently approaching empty water troughs. Despite prior allegations of animal abuse in the area and past interventions, reports suggest that some pack horses continue to suffer severe neglect, raising urgent concerns about their welfare.

This alarming situation underscores a critical need for immediate action to protect these animals from further harm. Ensuring that those reportedly responsible are held accountable is essential to prevent future instances of cruelty. Demand that authorities investigate these claims thoroughly and prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Secretary Deb Haaland,

I am writing to express deep concern over reports of severe neglect and starvation of horses on the Havasupai Reservation. Eyewitness accounts and photographs reportedly depict emaciated horses with protruding ribs and hip bones, some collapsing under heavy loads, and others tied up for days without adequate food or water.

These animals are reportedly found with their skin rubbed raw beneath their packs, appearing lethargic and visibly unwell. Despite previous allegations of animal abuse in the area and prior interventions, it appears that some pack horses continue to suffer from severe neglect. This ongoing situation raises serious questions about the welfare of these essential animals.

I urge you to take immediate action to ensure a thorough investigation into these reports and to hold those reportedly responsible accountable under the law. By addressing this issue decisively, we can help prevent further suffering of these horses and uphold the standards of animal welfare. Please act now to protect these vulnerable animals from continued harm.

Sincerely,
Your Name Here
