Horses Left Behind at Sanctuary

Seven weeks ago, the San Diego Humane Society rescued over 700 animals—including hundreds of horses—from Villa Chardonnay in Julian, citing severe neglect.

Staff commute hours daily, and the effort has cost over $550,000—with $50,000 weekly just for food and care. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
