RE: [RC] Legislation to reverse Burns Amendment - mustang bill - bobmorrisKimberly: If you feel strongly about this issue, I would suggest a much more productive method of ensuring the horses do not go to slaughter. It is a very simple method and quite inexpensive. You get in touch with all like minded horse people and you all, each and every one of you, adopt a minimum of two BLM Mustangs when they are made available. This way there will be a minimum of rejects and these feral horses will find good homes.

Legislation has been introduced (1/25/05) to reverse the Burns Amendment to the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act. As you know, the Burns Amendment opens the door to the slaughter of thousands of our wild horses. Please write your U.S. Representative urging them to co-sponsor H.R. 297, introduced by Reps. Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) and Ed Whitfield (R-KY), which would restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of wild horses and burros. Letters should be addressed to: The Honorable [Name Here], U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515. Visit www.AHDF.org to identify your Representative. Please note that letters sent via physical mail make a stronger statement than emails, which are too easily dismissed. It is also more effective to personalize your letter with your own words. Scroll to the bottom of this email to see a letter template provided for your convenience. Dear Honorable ______________: I am writing to urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 297 introduced by Representatives Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) and Ed Whitfield (R-KY). This Bill reverses the amendment to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horse & Burro Act stealthily introduced by Senator Conrad Burns as a rider to the 2005 Appropriations Bill. If allowed to stand, the Burns provision will lead to the slaughter of thousands of wild horses for human consumption abroad. Our wild horses are a vital part of our national heritage. The law that was enacted for their protection thirty years ago was the result of a greater public outcry than over any issue except the Vietnam War, and was passed without a single dissenting vote. I am extremely distressed over the fact that this law enacted by the people for the people was eviscerated without so much as a hearing or opportunity for public review. I respectfully request a prompt response from you stating your position with regard to H.R. 297 which would restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of wild horses and burros.
