USA: Wild Horse "Reform" Plan Is Out--Submit Comments Today!

Having trouble viewing this email? Read it online in your browser. Dear Animal Advocates, The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the agency that oversees our country’s wild horses and burros, is asking for comments by March 30, 2011, on a plan that it views as a "new direction" for wild horse management. Since the BLM continues to ignore the public and members of Congress who want to insure the well-being of our wild horses and burros, we’re asking you to weigh in on its proposal and make it very clear what the agency should and should not be doing. We at the ASPCA are concerned that the BLM’s proposed changes do not go nearly far enough. Its “strategy” continues to focus on the removal of wild horses from public lands, rather than restoring the millions of acres that should be theirs. Moreover, the BLM’s plan continues to fall short in not providing adequate transparency during roundups and not using the most humane methods possible. These are but some of the important reasons we need you to raise your voices during this brief period when the BLM is inviting public comment. What You Can Do Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to learn more about the BLM’s new wild horse proposal and to quickly send an email containing your comments to Bob Abbey, the agency’s director. Please keep in mind, comments are being accepted only until March 30, so there’s no time to waste. Thank you for your continued support of our nation’s imperiled wild herds.
