Horses Saved From Death at Washington State University

Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine canceled its planned horse-killing laboratory, saving eight healthy and adoptable horses from death, after PETA supporters sent more than 36,000 emails as well as calls to school officials, joining the compassionate veterinarian group Our Honor in pleading to spare the horses. Just four days after we launched our action alert, officials canceled the planned laboratory—the final time it was to be held—in which the horses were slated to be used by veterinary students to practice complicated abdominal surgeries before killing them.
