H.R. No. 391 is a resolution recognizing the 46th anniversary of Black Beauty Ranch, an animal sanctuary located in Murchison, Texas. Founded in 1979 by Cleveland Amory, the ranch has become a prominent refuge for over 600 animals from various backgrounds, including those rescued from neglect, cruelty, and exploitation. Spanning more than 1,400 acres, the ranch provides a safe haven for animals of 40 different species, including primates, big cats, and livestock. The dedicated team at Black Beauty Ranch not only ensures the physical and emotional well-being of the animals but also engages in public education and advocacy for animal protection and environmental conservation.

The resolution commends the staff, volunteers, and supporters of Black Beauty Ranch for their unwavering commitment to animal welfare and recognizes the organization's significant contributions to the lives of both animals and people. Notably, in 2024, the ranch expanded its mission by rescuing animals from Puerto Rico's last remaining zoo, showcasing its capacity for large-scale rescue operations. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its high regard for Black Beauty Ranch through this resolution, which will be officially documented as a testament to the organization's impactful work in animal care and protection.
