call to action to save wild horses
I received this email and feel I should post for others to review and respond to this call to action to save wild horses
Dear Friends of Wild Horses,
We have another opportunity to stop the slaughter of 8,200 wild horses awaiting their fate in BLM holding facilities. The U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on an amendment introduced by Representative Nick Rahall (D-WV) on May 18th - Thursday that will prohibit your tax dollars from being used to send wild horses to slaughter. This amendment will be attached to the House Interior Appropriations Bill.
It was just one year ago that an identical Rahall amendment passed overwhelmingly in the House but was sabotaged by Senator Burns in the Senate Conferee Committee. Senator Burns was the one who introduced the stealth amendment in 2004 allowing the unprecedented change in the 1971 Wild Horses and Burros Act granting BLM "sale authority" of animals over the age of ten and those horses who fail three adoptions. This amendment was in direct opposition to the intent of the 1971 law - that no wild horse or burro should ever again be slaughtered.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Please call your Representative immediately - CAPITOL HILL OPERATOR - (202) 224-3121 (To find your Rep - www.congress.org )
Ask your Representative to vote for the Rahall Interior Appropriations Amendment that will stop your tax dollars from funding wild horse slaughter
Please send this to as many people on your E-mail list as possible
To find out how your Representative voted LAST YEAR (listed below and follow directions)
Please let us know if you have made the call - ispmb@lakotanetwork.com
It is critically important that you take the time to call and help us end wild horse slaughter. We thank you so very much for your efforts.

wild horses in New Zealand
Kaimanawa Wild Horse Preservation Society Inc. (KWHPS) is responsible for all public placements of wild horses that have been captured during the annual muster that is conducted by the Department of Conservation (DOC) in New Zealand http://www.nzwildhorses.com/
Homes are being sought for Kaimanawa wild horses, ahead of the Department of Conservation's annual muster.
The Kaimanawa Wild Horse Preservation Society (KWHPS) wants people interested in taking home a horse from the muster in June, to apply.
KWHPS president Kathy Asplet said the horses made excellent pets and work animals.
"They are very good for any discipline, for pony clubs, horse trekking, A and P shows, as farm horses or riding for the disabled. They are really proving themselves."
