Dear Sally Jewell,
Please protect the wild horses and burros from the slaughterhouse pipeline. Stop the roundups and let the prisoner horses in holding pens back on the range. Please protect America’s icons before it is too late. Please do not be the person in history who signs the order to eliminate and kill the last of America’s wild horses.
Do you intend to protect them from further extermination and zeroing out of protected herds on public lands? Or do you intend to stand with the cattlemen, oil men and fracking to strip the land of wild horses and burros? Please be a great leader and animal protector and stop the sterilization of all the herds and inhumane roundups.
Thank you so much. Horse and animal lovers are counting on you to save these icons for future generations as living wild treasures and not just in the movies. I know your job is difficult and that you have many sides to please, but follow your heart and protect these wild animals that deserve freedom on public lands by law. The American public is watching to see what steps you take to make the wild horses and burros safe and successful for future generations.
Thank you so much for your attention. Best wishes and good luck in this big effort. I know you can do it. You are a strong person with a kind heart.
