A Voice for the Voiceless
Beyond the natural beauty of the Havasupai region of the Grand Canyon, there is an ugly truth. For more than four decades, countless pack horses and mules in the canyon have been neglected and abused by certain violent individuals. From the scale of abuse that has been documented, it is clear that this is a chronic and systemic problem within the Supai nation. Whether due to lack of resources or willful disregard, SAVE pledges to do all we can to address this problem. We pledge to be a voice for the animals.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Havasu Falls Has Reopened After Three Years
After a three-year closure due to the pandemic, the Havasupai Tribe is once again open to tourism. We have seen a lot of enthusiasm from people in the Havasupai hiking groups on Facebook that we monitor. They are ready to book trips to Supai and some are reserving the pack animals to carry their gear. NO ONE should be hiring the pack animals since there is no evidence that the Tribe has implemented any standards of care that will protect the horses and mules that are forced to work there.

It is more important than ever to spread the word about the mistreatment of the pack animals, and to ask tourists to pack their own gear in and out of the canyon. Please share this flyer with everyone you can.

The mission of SAVE is to end the starvation and abuse of the pack animals on the Havasupai reservation; to elevate these animals to their rightful place in the Havasupai culture and all cultures as sentient beings that deserve compassionate care and respect for their service to human beings.
