LASSO specific purpose is the survival, safety, and humane treatment of hoofed animals, with the objective of educating animal owners regarding proper feeding, housing and care.
The LASSO group intervenes when an animal's survival and well being is in jeopardy due to:
- Evidence of abuse
- Evidence of negligence
- Lack of proper food type and quality
- Lack of adequate shelter
When the owner is unwilling or unable to provide these basic necessities for an animal, the LASSO members will provide proper housing, food, or veterinary care until such time appropriate measures can be taken to ensure either the safe return of the animal to the owner or placement in another suitable home.
