Save Wild Horses From Inhumane Round Ups



We have written about this before also that BLM is hurting wild horses through inhumane round ups that ends up injuring many beautiful horses badly. Some even die in the process after getting badly hurt.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues to mismanage the care of wild horses and burros. The agency’s current policies allow inhumane methods of gathering and confining equines, and could spell the end for these national icons. But there's still an opportunity to help save our wild horses. U.S. Representative Dan Burton of Indiana has succeeded in passing an amendment to the Interior Appropriations Bill to cut $2 million from the BLM's annual budget in order to pressure the agency to end its ill-conceived efforts. 

This amendment was adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives and will soon be considered in the Senate. Please let your two U.S. senators know that they should support the Burton amendment to cut $2 million dollars from the BLM's budget—this cut saves money and our country's wild horses. 

Please ask your U.S. senators to support a $2 million reduction in the BLM’s budget and help protect wild horses! Only US residents can sign up and send these letters so please take action soon.
