PLEASE SIGN THE NEW LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
(July 13, 2010) Philanthropist and businesswoman Madeleine Pickens was joined today by the million-member ASPCA, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, and many other organizations expressing their outrage over the deaths of at least seven mustangs in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roundup conducted Saturday in the Owyhee Complex in northeastern Nevada. The wild horses died of dehydration-related causes—including brain swelling, colic and acute water intoxication – as a result of being stampeded by helicopters for up to eight miles in 90+ degree desert heat.
In a sign on letter addressed to President Obama and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Mrs. Pickens and the groups also harshly criticized the agency for cracking down on public access to observe and videotape roundup operations. The advocates released footage of a BLM representative stating publicly that public video of a prior roundup caused the agency to have “a really hard time trying to explain what’s happening.”

MY PETITION LETTER IN 2009
by Betsy Seeton
I know this world faces many ongoing atrocities: genocide, human trafficking, animal trafficking, hate crimes, drugs, arms dealing, terrorism, war, global warming, hunger/starvation, economic crisis, large scale fraud in corporations and governments, ill equipped and badly run prisons, polluted air/water/land and the list goes on and on. It’s partly because of all of those tragic issues that protecting beauty and providing justice where we have opportunity is all the more imperative. I urge you to devise a better plan to save our wild mustangs. No more round ups. No more slaughtering. Imagine a world where there are no more roses, no more sunsets or sunrises. We need beauty where we can find it.
The planet needs to be graced by these gorgeous creatures and they need us to help them. I’m still learning about this issue and I welcome your thoughts, your facts and your opinions. I have some remote Colorado mountain property. I would be honored to have some wild mustangs relocated to my area to live free. Please learn about this issue and do not make decisions with political motives. If wild mustangs are a pest or an inconvenience to a population of people, let’s work to find a plan that doesn’t involve slaughtering or terrorizing these animals. It’s an important issue. It speaks to the heart and soul of our planet. These beautiful creatures offer us their wild, beautiful spirits. I urge you and others in power to work to preserve their precious, wild existence.
