Alternatives to Auction and Slaughter


In 2004, the American Horse Defense Fund released a book destined to change the equine world, Alternatives to Slaughter and Auction. The book was well received and was highlighted on the floor of the House during votes concerning the Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, HR 503, in 2006. While the book was groundbreaking and attempted to cover every option to prevent horse slaughter and owners from sending their horses to auction, it became outdated in the last few years. The staff of AHDF announce the updated version of Alternatives to Slaughter will be available for download from this site. The book's new format and layout make it even easier for horse owners to use and store. The new book available NOW .
E-Book - $5.00
