Wild horses need our voices! Please call, write, and email your US Representative and both US Senators today and say:
'I am calling (or writing) today to ask (Representative or Senator) _______________________ for an immediate moratorium on all wild horse and burro roundups until Congress can investigate the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars, lack of transparency with Congress and the American public, violations of the Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program (CAWP), and massive mismanagement of the Wild Horse and Burro Program. We want wild horses and burros preserved in the American West on the land that was principally set aside for them under the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse & Burro Act of 1971. The BLM is set on systematically exterminating America's treasured wild horses and burros. This is an urgent, time sensitive matter as the BLM is presently chasing wild horses and burros with helicopters, causing countless deaths of these treasured animals, and zeroing out additional wild horse herds in Wyoming.'
ALL American taxpayers are footing the bill for wild horse and burro roundups no matter what state you live in. ALL members of Congress should be concerned, no matter the state you live in. Congress provides the budget to the Bureau of Land Management. You have every right to be concerned and ask your US Representative and both US Senators from any state to get involved.
