Vilsack denies to implement science

Vilsack denies to implement science….and study the Heber Wild horses….

Click HERE or on the letter below to open a PDF file.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said “no” to the study of the Heber herd! Why? (read about it in our Earth Day post)

Please call Secretary Vilsack’s office — 202-720-3631 — and POLITELY ask that he makes this unique Heber wild horse herd, a “study” herd. This is the last “untouched” herd on public lands and will transform how wild horses are managed on public lands.

Earth Day

Gila herd grazes on green grass in a pasture

Stable Family Band Structures in the Herd MAKE Stable Minimal Populations.

Earth Day began on April 22, 1970, celebrating support for environmental protection. We have been celebrating Earth Day for as long as we have been celebrating the protection of wild horses and burros with the passage of the 1971 Act.

Yet there is a dichotomy of the word “protection” in these two important celebrations that must be understood. While Earth Day is growing and today includes 1 billion people in 193 countries, we are fighting for the lives of the “last” of America’s wild horses and burros.

THE LAST OF AMERICA’S WILD HORSES AND BURROS AND OUR FIGHT TO SAVE THEM BY MAKING ARIZONA’S HEBER HERD A “STUDY” HERD

The “study" of the Heber Herd can save all wild horses by transforming the management of wild horses. IT MUST BE DONE!

There’s something important I want you to understand. If we don’t stop the Forest Service from rounding up the HEBER HERD in Northern Arizona, it is game over for all wild horses.

Why do I say this?

The Heber Herd is the ONLY remaining herd in the United States that has been left alone in its natural state for more than 15 years.

DEMOCRACY for AMERICA’S WILD HORSES?

DOES DEMOCRACY EXIST for AMERICA'S WILD HORSES and BURROS in OUR COUNTRY?

In 2005, a rider was inserted into the spending Omnibus bill which began to destroy protections for wild horses and burros in our country. Senator Burns (MT-R) and Senator Dorgan (D-ND) and Senator Reid (D-N) were behind the clandestine rider. Yesterday, another insertion eliminating more protections for wild horses and burros was inserted into the Omnibus bill, which will be law until September. The Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971 PL 92-195 passed through Congress without ONE dissenting vote.
