The Fate of 45,000 Wild Horses and Burros remains under Threat of EXTERMINATION pending BLM decision TBA spring 2017. Meanwhile status quo BLM practices leave horses with no real protection from killing or slaughter. We must TAKE ACTION and STAND TOGETHER to STOP this looming Genocidal Atrocity - Before it's too late.

On Sept 9, 2016, the single action, by vote of the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Advisory Board, has recommended EXTERMINATING over 45,000 innocent wild American Mustangs and Burros who have been brutally rounded up and are currently held wrongly under encampment. And through word of mouth, that one action brought the world to an outrage. But a subsequent flurry of media reports were quick to headline false positive results for the threatened 45,000 horses and burros, which has in effect now strengthened an apparent ongoing BLM cover up. With a closer look beyond the headlines we find that the Fate of 45,000 Wild Horses and Burros remains under Threat of EXTERMINATION, pending a formal BLM decision TBA spring 2017. Meanwhile status quo BLM practices leave horses with no real protection from killing or slaughter.

There are over 200 million acres of rangelands in the U.S. where these horses could roam freely, but they are quickly being eliminated by the same governmental agencies that claim to protect them. Unless action is taken, America’s wild equids will continue to vanish – a potentially catastrophic scenario for generations to come.

We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to protect, care and feed these animals and we want their freedom and federal protection to be restored on the range. We urge the support of comprehensive and science based solution oriented rangeland management, maintenance and restoration of America’s wild horses and burros to our rangelands as part of the natural ecosystem. We want the government to model reverence and recognition of their indigenous heritage to North America and their inherent abilities to compliment the natural environment as a native species.

We cannot allow the dangerous and violent expulsion of America’s Mustangs from our lands. Through this petition and the Saving America's Horses initiative we will expose the systemic corruption that has left virtually worthless the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act, which is supposed to protect horses and burros. We can stop the killing and reverse the degradation to open rangelands caused by BLM mismanagement, and restore the protections needed for our horses and burros, but we must act swiftly, get the true facts to the masses to effect the change that's needed. We must stand together to put an end to the scandalous mistreatment of these sentient beings and extend a circle of compassion to all living things.

Please take action now by signing this petition and and sharing it with your friends.
