A letter to Congress regarding the
McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Herd Management Area outside of Cody, Wyoming

We mailed the letter below to 235 US Representatives in July 2023. We have a new 9 page letter dated 3.3.24 that I am asking you to send to your legislators now. It's important to keep sending relevant information to your legislators and develop a relationship with their offices. That is where the real change will come from.

This letter is in PDF form and ready for you to print out and mail to your US Representative and both US Senators. Once printed, fill in the date and the address information on page 1, then sign and include your contact information on page 5. 

This is the first in a series of letters I am working on that will help educate Congress of what is really happening on our public lands with our wild horses and burros. 
The letter below was sent by Save Our Wild Horses to 235 members of the House of Representatives in July 2023:
