Act Now to Save Wild Horses and Burros
A surprise "rider" in the omnibus appropriations bill means death for thousands of wild horses and burros in the United States. Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) quietly slipped the rider in without any public discussion or opportunity for a separate Senate vote. The rider severely undermines the federal Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Protection Act and directs the federal government to sell our nation's wild horses to the highest bidders.

The Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act passed in 1971 because of the public's will to save these amazing wild creatures. Your voice is the only thing that will save them again.

Please contact your federal Senators and Representatives TODAY and ask them to reinstate protections for our wild horses and burros. Click on the link on the left-hand sidebar of this email for contact information for Washington's elected officials.

Compassion is the drive of all our efforts and we must work together to more efficiently reach our common audience with a unified message. Please join GARC in New York City on February 18-21, 2005.
