Diane McEvoy and Pamela True, authors

"WILD HORSES"....WILL WE SAVE THEM ONE DAY??????
This is America...how can just one of us stand by for decades now and let this go on with so much suffering for our supposedly Federally Protected Wild Horses and Burros...by the Bureau of Land Management the very ones appointed to Protect them, U.S. Forest Service, Welfare Ranchers and Oil and Gas who want to steal all of our Public Lands to fill their pockets and who support the illegal sending of the American Icon into the slaughter Pipeline.

How can just one American stand by and do nothing for so long??? Wild Horses are Indigenous to North America. Horses have been our forever helpers, fought our wars, plowed our fields, served the very Ranchers that are persecuting them, provided us with recreation, healed our Vets and so many others, were instrumental in the making of America, a free nation and the settlement of the West, the very lands they Stand on. The American Mustang has earned and deserves the right to live Wild and Free and have a forever home on our Public Lands. We need every U.S. Citizens to end the Roundups, Abuse and Slaughter of these sentient beings NOW!! Extinction is imminent if you don't!!!
Please, if your Senator is on the list of Appropriations Committee members below, call and write and demand that funding for the "PATH FORWARD" which would involve the round ups of 100,000 wild horses over the next 10 years and their placement in BLM holding facilities where they will languish must be DENIED. Very likely numbers of them will disappear into the slaughter pipeline. PLEASE, if you have just once ounce of compassion for animals and for what is morally right....your ACTION can make a difference, especially in an election year. AMERICANS...PLEASE UNITE AGAINST THIS ATROCITY. The magnificent American Wild Mustang...has a right to life, protection and freedom on our American Soils!!!
