Save the Wild Horses

Federal officials have said that they are being faced with hard choices because wild horses have overpopulated public lands and they can no longer afford to care for the number of horses that have been rounded up. They plan on euthanasing several of the beautiful horses that make up a big part of America`s history.

There are an estimated 33, 000 wild horses in 10 western states, and about half of them are in Nevada. The 'appropriate' target amount set is about 27, 000 and another 30, 000 of the horses are in holding facilities, up for adoption.

My love for mustangs has been around ever since I discovered horses. When the movies Spirit and Hidalgo came out, they stoked the fire burning within me. And now it is going full force. I love these animals, and will not stand by and watch them die without doing anything about it!

If we the people don`t step up and say anything, these horses will be ceasing to exist in a few years! They`ll become only pictures and descriptions in books, which are being read less and less each year. They (the mustangs) are the symbol of the wilderness, freedom, and independent spirit of the United States of America. Some people are afraid to stand up and voice their opinions. But I`m not! In the Constitution it says we have the freedom of speech! And I intend to use that freedom to save the horses I love!

So who is with me?!
