Nevada’s wild horses urgently need your help today.
Tomorrow, the Nevada State Senate Natural Resource Committee is considering a resolution, SJR3, calling on Congress to fund mass roundups in Nevada to decimate the state’s federally-protected wild horse and burro population over the next 6 years.
This resolution is out of step with the 86 percent of Nevadans who see wild horses as defining symbols of the state and want them protected. The consequences would be devastating. As just one example, the beloved Fish Springs wild horse population could be reduced to just 11 individuals: with the sweep of a helicopter, wipe out generations of wild horses known and loved throughout the world would be wiped out!
Please join us in urging Nevada legislators to vote NO on SJR3. As a Nevadan, your voice can make a real difference!
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Taking action on these steps should only take you a few minutes and could make a huge difference in the vote, so please complete all if you can!
