Protect America's Wild Horses
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Federal land throughout the American West is home to thousands of healthy wild horses. Yet as herds continue to grow, Bureau of Land Management officials continue to trap hundreds of wild horses – condemning many of them to live the rest of their lives in holding pens.
Recently, the U.S. House overwhelmingly passed the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act -- a bill working to protect wild horses. The ROAM Act would step up fertility control measures, encourage more adoptions and provide as much as 19 million additional acres for the wild animals to roam.
Take action to help our nation's wild mustangs – urge your Senators to support the ROAM Act to protect America's wild horses and burros.

Wild horses are not only a part of the ecosystem, but a part of our heritage and history as well. Protect them, provide assistance for them, but do not condemn them to be merely a page in our history books.

Every species has the right to be protected,originally all horses were wild why do we feel the need to domesticate every single one or... not protect them?

I just Love watching horses they are so beautiful to watch when they run. And I don't want to see them come instinct.

Dear Senator, As your constituent, I am writing today to strongly urge you to protect America's wild horses from slaughter, and set more humane wild horse management policies. Passing the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act will help to save tax dollars by keeping our mustangs on the range and using innovative and humane management tools, such as various contraceptives to control growing herd populations. For years Congress has been working to protect wild horses, yet have failed to properly protect America's wild horses and burros. As you are well aware, the ROAM Act overwhelmingly passed in the House. Now the legislation must be taken up by the Senate! The horses' range land has been slashed from nearly 54 million acres in 1971 to about 34 million acres today. Supporting the ROAM Act would allow the federal government to buy and exchange land and enter into cooperative agreements with private groups and/or individuals that want to create wild-horse sanctuaries on private land. Slaughtering healthy wild horse and burro populations to control populations should not be a viable option! I strongly urge you to protect wild horse populations and adopt new and humane management tools to control. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments. I eagerly await your response. view less Sincerely, [Natalyia Titova, Russia

They are more American than we are. They leave us alone, so we need to leave them alone and protect them from hateful humans.

I want the wild horses to be protected because horses are my life. They mean so much to me, and they are the history and life of America. They are such amazing creatures with their beauty, grace, strength and the amazing relationships that we get to share with them.

The wild horses of America are a part of our history. From the Native Americans to the legends of the Wild West, the wild mustangs were there. And now they are being rounded up to slaughter. As an American, I request that the Senate listen to the people and to stop encouraging the slaughter of American history!

because i know i wouldn't want to be stuffed in a cage to await my death and i don't know who would. So why should these, breath, feeling, beings be subjected to such torture?

Look back on our struggle for freedom, Trace our present day strength to it’s source, And you’ll find that mans’ pathway to glory, We Americans value our freedom – we must honor and protect the freedom of our Wild Horse heritage. Is strewn with the bones of a horse. “Without integrity, there can be no love.”

The wild horses and burros deserve to be protected and not treated as trash. As citizens of a very great and blessed country we need to pass on all of the good fortune that we possess to protect and respect life. We cannot know what the contribution of these lives are but these are magnificent, creatures, created by God and it is a shame and a disgrace to allow them to be tortured, mistreated and slaughtered.
