Protect America's Wild Horses

Target: U.S. Senate
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 have raised the possibility of killing as many as 30,000 of these wild animals.

Recently, the U.S. House overwhelmingly passed the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act -- a bill working to protect wild horses from the possibility of a government-sponsored slaughter.

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. Slaughtering healthy animals to control populations should not be an option! Urge your Senators to support the bill to protect America's wild horses and burros.
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 15,000

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.

[Your comment will be inserted here]

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!

Bureau of Land Management Officials have raised the possibility of killing as many as 30,000 wild mustangs that they can no longer to afford to house in holding facilities.

Wild horses deserved to be protected along with all other wild creatures. I believe that we have an obligation to protect the "wild" in all of God's creation.
