Protect the Wild Horses

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 wild mustangs.

Urge Senator Alexander and Senator Corker to pass help legislation to save thousands of wild horses from slaughter. »

For years, Congress has tried to protect wild horses, yet lack of funding, shrinking range land, bad science, long-standing political agendas and mismanagement have undermined all protective measures.

Thankfully, the U.S. House recently passed the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act -- a bill that restores protection for wild horses and prevents the commercial sale and slaughter of these American icons.

It's clear that the public wants these beautiful animals to be protected, but we need the Senate to support this important legislation. Urge your Senators to support the protection of America's beautiful wild horse populations! »

Thanks for taking action!
