We are a patient bunch, aren't we? Back in November, The Cloud Foundation and EWA sent a registered letter on behalf of equine advocates to President Obama calling for a Moratorium on round-ups. If you are new to our group, you can read the letter and view a list of organizations, celebrities and dignitaries that joined the call here- http://www.equinewelfarealliance.org/Moratorium.html Note: Individuals signed a petition.
It is now almost 8 months to the day and finally, HSUS, AWI and ASPCA have now joined the call, individually. How much more powerful it would have been if we had been one voice back in November. Who knows, we may have had a different story to tell about the wild ones in Calico.
Perhaps now, someone is Washington will listen to us and stop the madness.
I sent the HSUS release earlier this morning that is posted on Horseback Magazine
Here is the release issued today by ASPCA
Here is the release issued yesterday by AWI
Everyone, please pick up your phone and call the White House and respectfully ask for a moratorium on the wild horse and burro round-ups. The injunction hearing is tomorrow and what better way to show your support for our wild ones. Do it today.
