Old mare collapses during helicopter stampede. The wild horses are supposed to be protected under a 1971 federal law that prohibited their “capture, branding, harassment and death” as “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the American West.” Well, yeah. But somehow that mission has been conflated with BLM’s job to establish “appropriate management levels” of the wild horses, and when that gets overlaid with cattlemen’s competition for the same grazing land, the wild horses come up short.
So they’re rounded up, put in pens, and, many fear, sold to the slaughterhouses in Mexico or simply euthanized.
The mustangs are suppose to be protected by federal law.
By signing my petition you will be helping many horses keep their freedom that they deserve.
