AMERICA'S WILD HORSES ARE IN DANGER

WHO: The federal Bureau of Land Management
WHAT: is robbing thousands of wild horses of their freedom and lives
WHEN: right this minute
WHERE: across the Western United States
WHY: the Bureau was assigned to protect America's wild horses

Thousands of children worldwide want to protect America's wild horses on their Western home on the range. Here's why:

We identify with mustangs

We know how it feels to be innocent and free. Though we don't want to give up food, parents and a warm home to be free, we admire them for it. Wild horses are part of our hearth language. Since humans first sat around campfires telling stories, they've told of wild horses' defiance in the face of capture. Do you want us to forget those stories?
MIGHT doesn't always make RIGHT

BLM keeps saying it has the right to slaughter wild horses, but it hasn't felt like it yet. But now they might, because of money, and the horses don't deserve it, especially when the federal government, BLM's boss, is giving tons of money to the people who make our parents fight over money every single night.
Wild horses are good for keeping a "home on the range"

Mustangs eat brush which could otherwise be fuel for wild fires. After eating those plants, wild horses spread the seeds in their poop. Anyone who sees or dreams about a herd of wild horses running free knows learns that not all land should be covered with houses, malls and highways.
Where mustang herds have to be smaller, BLM can use smart solutions

We can't let BLM bury its "mistakes." People from all over the world want to see our wild horses on "green" vacations. Horses would make money for small town motels, restaurants and tour operators. BLM knows contraception works on horses. There's a catch and release program for trout, so why not wild horses?Where the range is damaged by mining and sloppy recreational users, make them clean up their mess, just like we have to do.
There's a good side to payback

Horses carried us on explorations. They gave us wings, taking us places we could never have gone on our own two feet. They pulled our plows to help us eat. They fought our wars, running into swords and gunfire just because we asked them to, and we even used their bodies as barricades against our enemies.

When you ask us to be loyal to our families and friends, then tell us not to get emotional when they're killing horses, remember that.

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, WANT CONGRESS TO KNOW THAT WILD HORSES SHOULD BE PROTECTED ON THEIR WESTERN HOME RANGES AND NOT ROUNDED-UP IN CRUEL, MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR STAMPEDES.
