Local Ordinances - Local ordinances outlawing horse fighting can be effective regulatory tools, with local government invested in enforcing laws that they themselves have drafted. Network encourages and works with municipal governments to enact and enforce local ordinances targeting horse fighting.

Funding veterinary care for local horses – Veterinary services for horses in the Philippines are very basic and often too expensive for impoverished local farmers who enter their horses in tournaments. Network provides free veterinary clinics in communities where horse fighting is prevalent as an incentive to stop horse fighting. Our veterinarians not only provide care for immediate problems, but also provide advice on long term care for horses and work to instill a sense of compassion towards horses.

Letter writing campaigns – Tourism is a vital source of revenue for the southern Philippines, an area that has an abundance of world class diving locations and beaches. Network works to generate letters from potential tourists asking local government to eradicate horse fighting or risk losing tourism revenue.
