Dear Sasha and PBS/NPR Radio,

Animals are often protected more when
Someone can make a living while helping them.
Ecotourism could possibly help —
just like safaris where people shoot wild animals
with cameras and not guns. It is also called Cultural Tourism because the horse is so much a part of America’s history throughout many centuries.

Maybe more tourism groups could look at that as a way of making the public aware of the plight of the wild mustangs and burros with fun travel adventures into the “Old West”. It could guarantee both protection of the environment and the animals. More people could actually keep an eye out for the herds and any abuse hidden behind the holding pens if that was a stop along the “Cultural Highway”. My friend, the late Jonathan Meigs, was a visionary who wrote about this concept. He loved to travel throughout America and the world. The West in conestoga wagons was one of his favorite adventures and safaris to see wild animals was another.

In my book, “Wind, Wild Horse Rescue,” I encourage the American public to protect the wild horses in order to see them as living treasures and not just in the movies and that future generations will be able to love them like I do. I have over 100 of my sketches and paintings throughout the story of this book. The NHSPCA is using it to educate kids and adults about the wild horses. Declan Gregg gave a signed copy to President Obama for me.

I also set aside a portion of the proceeds of sales of my book for equine rescue organizations. I am happy to use my artwork for a great cause.

Best wishes to stop the slaughter and the equine holocaust.

Sincerely,
Denise F. Brown, author/illustrator and equine artist and animal advocate
