U.S. House to Vote on Budget Bill: Oppose Back Door Slaughter!

The U.S. House of Representatives is poised to vote on a significant budget bill next week. This legislation could have dire consequences for America's wild horses and burros by potentially opening the door to their slaughter. It is crucial for advocates and concerned citizens to voice their opposition and protect these iconic animals.

Understanding the Budget Bill

The proposed budget bill includes provisions that could undermine the current protections for wild horses and burros. These changes may lead to increased roundups and the possibility of slaughter, a practice that has been opposed by many Americans for its inhumane nature.

Why This Matters

Wild horses and burros are a symbol of the American West, representing freedom and the untamed spirit of nature. Allowing their slaughter would not only be a tragedy for these animals but also a loss of a vital part of our national heritage.

How You Can Help

To prevent this outcome, it is essential to contact your representatives and express your opposition to any measures that would allow for the slaughter of wild horses and burros. Your voice can make a difference in ensuring these animals remain protected.
