If Your 2018 Resolution is to Save Wild Horses, Here are Some Tips

 

Your voice in 2018 can mean the difference between a life of freedom and brutal death for tens of thousands of America's wild horses and burros.  Here's what you need to do! 


1. Call your elected officials.

Let Congress know that you oppose mass roundup and slaughter of America’s wild horses and burros and want him to support humane treatment and protection of wild horses and burros on our public lands. Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

2. Schedule an appointment to meet with your Congressperson and Senators on this issue.

You can meet with them in their district office closest to you. Do not be intimidated - the best lobbyists for wild horses are constituents who take the time to actually meet with their representatives in Congress. 

3. Take Advantage of Social Media

President Trump communicates through Twitter, so what better way to let him know where Americans stand on protection of wild horses and burros than by tweeting him a message. Facebook and Twitter are excellent ways to communicate with your Congressperson and Senators as well. 

4. Organize your fellow constituents.

You can download a letter that you can ask your friends, family and co-workers to sign onto. That way when you meet with your federal representatives, you will be representing more than just yourself. Maybe a few of your friends or fellow horse lovers will actually go to the meeting with you! Additional sign-on pages can be found here.

5Send a letter to the editor.

This is a great way to spread the word about the plight of wild horses and burros and the need to speak out for their protection. 

6. Volunteer with a group in your area.

There are many wild horse and advocacy groups throughout the country, that need hands on support! Find a group near you.

The threat of mass killing and slaughter of these cherished animals, both on the range and in government holding facilities, looms large. But the political support, important legal precedents and strong grassroots base we've established so far provide a strong foundation for the fight ahead. It's a fight we can't afford to lose. It's a fight we know we can win, if we continue to work together. Donate here.
