*[Enwl-eng] Horses bled dry

We're close to finally banning these cruel horse blood farms. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

            Pregnant mares are beaten, then forced into restraints to give 
massive amounts of blood every single week for 12 weeks in a row. Horses 
often collapse from exhaustion – and once they’re too injured or 
malnourished to continue, they’re left to die.

            Why? So their blood can be processed to create a hormone called 
PMSG, which is then injected into pigs to force quick pregnancies of 
unnaturally large litters.

            Iceland is the only country in Europe that still allows this 
brutal, inhumane practice…and together we’re going to change that. Right 
now, the government is considering FINALLY banning horse blood farms, but 
the pharmaceutical industry is in an all out sprint to protect their 
profits.

            This is the moment our community was made for. Over 48,000 of us 
have already taken action, but that’s just the beginning. Next we could 
launch a massive lobbying push to give decision-makers no choice but to act, 
raising the temperature with powerful tactics like polling and targeted 
ads – then keep going to protect nature from corporate exploitation 
everywhere.

            We’re quickly raising the funds to make it happen – are you in?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            There are more than one hundred of these unbearably cruel horse 
blood farms across Iceland.

            A few years ago, the Icelandic government ADMITTED that this 
cruel practice is in violation of EU animal welfare laws, and began taking 
initial steps to close a loophole allowing it to happen. But then a massive 
pharmaceutical company profiting from this torture got to work.

            Eventually, the government caved and thousands more pregnant 
mares were forced into a lifetime of cruelty.

            Now the government is considering a ban once again. But Big 
Pharma’s lobbyists are back too, and this time, we are NOT going to let them 
win.

            Here’s the thing: elections just ended in Iceland, giving us the 
perfect opportunity to overwhelm the new government with a massive global 
call to ban horse blood farms. If we can quickly raise enough we could:

              a.. Launch a massive lobbying push to convince MPs to get 
behind a ban;
              b.. Conduct polling to show that these horse torture farms 
will impact tourism;
              c.. Put up ads in Iceland’s airport terminals and ferry ports 
exposing this cruel practice;
              d.. Run digital ads targeting likely tourists, and then 
re-target those ads to strategic MPs so they see what tourists will be 
seeing.
            The Icelandic government is already under increasing pressure – 
and together we can be the tipping point to win a ban. Can you chip in to 
end cruel horse blood farms – and keep fighting for animals and nature 
everywhere?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide 
fighting for people and the planet.



            The Ekō community has taken on this fight before – and won. We 
pressured two major German pharmaceutical companies to cut ties with blood 
farms in South America, dealing a big blow to this cruel industry. Now, 
Iceland is the last major stronghold – and together, we can shut it down.



            Thanks for all that you do,
            Allison and the Ekō team
