H.R. 249 Protects Wild Horses and Burros from Slaughter

Purpose:  This bill would restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of Wild free- roaming horses and burros.   H.R. 249 would restore 30 years of protections wrongly removed by the 2005 omnibus spending bill. H.R. 249 would prevent the Bureau of Land Management from selling wild horses at auction for slaughter to the highest bidder. 

The status of this bill is that it has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Action:  SUPPORT.  Please contact your Representative and urge him/her to support H.R. 249.  Tell your Representative that wild horses have shaped American history and deserve fundamental protection from slaughter....

These horses are being slaughtered and shipped to other countries to be consumed by the people there as a delicacy!  Asia for one!   Please go to this link and read about it so that you can e-mail or call your Reps and tell them that these horses are "our" wild horses and burros!  We need to protect these animals from the people that would kill them and sell them for a profit to other countries for food!  This  is such a gross thing to have happen to such beautiful free running American icons!  What are these people thinking?  Please help save these horses and burros.   They need our help!  Act on this A.S.A.P.!!!!
