HORSE ALERT
 U.S. House Passes Bill to Save Wild Horses & Burros!

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote Friday, July 17 on the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act (H.R. 1018). This is a critically important federal animal welfare bill that restores protections for wild horses and burros, and prevents commercial sale and wholesale slaughter of these American icons.

Congress originally passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act in 1971 to protect our wild horses, but in 2004 this protection was gutted in a midnight maneuver by then-Senator Conrad Burns (R-Mont.). Then the federal Bureau of Land Management said it would consider killing more than 30,000 horses in holding pens.

H.R. 1018 helps to save tax dollars by keeping our mustangs on the range and using innovative and humane management tools, such as fertility control. Your help is needed to restore vital protections for the majestic and beautiful symbol of the American West -- our mustangs.

 

U.S. House Passes Bill to Save Wild Horses & Burros! Go!

 

H.R. 1018 is sponsored by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick Rahall and will be voted on before the full House of Representatives tomorrow, July 17th.

Chairman Rahall's ROAM Act will responsibly restore many of the guaranteed protections originally established in the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. These same protections have been gutted by stealth riders and the (BLM)'s, Bureau of Land Management's wanton mismanage-ment of these magnificent animals for decades. At a time when there are nearly as many wild horses in captivity as on the range this legislation is urgently needed.

Concerned citizens are urged to call your US Representative RIGHT NOW and urge her/him to support Chairman Rahall and vote "YES" on H.R. 1018.

There is no time to waste. Call your U.S. rep now and urge him or her to vote YES on H.R. 1018 and save America's wild horses and burros. Go here for more info: http://www.animallawcoalition.com/horse-slaughter/article/693

You can also call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be transferred to your Representative.
