The Race to End Horse Slaughter in America

Every year, more than 50,000 horses are bought cheap, trucked for days straight on double-decker semis, and killed at one of three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States. The resulting meat is shipped to Europe, where it becomes someone's lunch. It's a gruesome reality - and a fairly well-kept secret - that thousands of perfectly useful horses suffer on a daily basis.

It doesn't seem like a book about slaughtering horses would be a pleasant read - and in some chapters, it's not. But award-winning author Bill Heller also found the upside of the story: the hundreds of people whose passion has become saving these once beautiful creatures. You'll read about the humble beginnings of horse sanctuary and adoption groups like ReRun, CANTER, New Vocations, and others, and how the dedication of one person can truly make a difference. An added benefit is the comprehensive list of organizations throughout North America that you might choose to support once you've read After the Finish Line.

It's a book that belongs on every horse lover's shelf - whether for its hard-hitting truth, its inspiration or as a resource.
