Santuario Equidad

Santuario Equidad ('Equity Sanctuary') is an animal sanctuary created by the Fondation Franz Weber (FFW) in San Marcos Sierra, Córdoba Province, in the centre of Argentina.[1][2]

It is closely associated with the campaign «Basta de TaS» (Basta, 'enough', and TaS being Tracción a Sangre, 'driven to blood'), which aims to replace horses used for refuse collection with motorised vehicles and put an end to the mistreatment of horses throughout Latin America.[3] However, the sanctuary also takes in other species.[1][4][5]

The sanctuary was set up to allow freed animals to live peaceful, dignified and healthy lives.[1][6]
