The numbers are staggering...

This week alone, the South Florida SPCA Miami's horse rescue, has rescued 13 horses.  Currently, the SFSPCA has just under 80 horses in their care.  The summer months seem to spike the number of rescues, but 13 in one week alone is staggering.  As you can clearly see in the photo, this horse is in dire need of nutrition.  In South Florida, feed prices are double if not triple what the rest of the country pays for feed.  This is due to the distance that the feed must travel to get here, so because gas prices are high so are feed prices.  If you own a horse, you know how expensive it is to maintain...now multiply that by 80!  If you can find it in your heart and in your budget to allow for even a $5 donation to the SFSPCA, please do so today by contacting them at www.spca-sofla.org.
