Don’t Allow the Slaughter of Wild Horses on Rangelands!
8 years ago
Wild horses and burros may soon face mass slaughter. At a recent conference in Utah, a deputy assistant of the Interior and a number of politicians, including Utah congressman Chris Stewart, pledged to lift restrictions on killing these innocent animals.
Wild horses are an iconic part of the American west and are a symbol of our history and heritage. They are also living beings deserving of freedom and a humane existence. Those calling for their slaughter claim that overpopulation has resulted in horses and burros dying of thirst and starvation, but horse advocates counter these claims and say that horses are really suffering from a lack of open land thanks to ranching and farming interests.
More must be done to give horses the land they need to roam freely and to control their populations through more humane methods. Sign this petition to urge Stewart to withdraw his support of the slaughter and put an end to this cruel proposal.
