PETA was recently made aware of an extremely urgent situation—involving a horse ranch in Sebah, Malaysia—discovered by unwitting tourists who reportedly signed up for horseback riding along the beach at the Melensung Ranch. The horses were apparently so starved, emaciated, and weak that some of them could barely stand upright. Graphic photos and additional information can be found on the local SPCA Selangor's Web site here. PETA is being told that the owners have made only meager improvements for these animals in recent weeks. An update on the situation can be found by clicking here.
These suffering horses still need your voice. Please politely urge the following authorities to confiscate these suffering animals and prosecute the animals' owner using the Law in Malaysia—The Animals Act 1953:
