Reining in the BLM - Calls Needed

  Wild Horse & Burro Controversy 
Goes To Washington


On Thursday, March 18, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior is scheduled to hear testimony from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on his proposed 
for Fiscal Year 2011 budget which includes increased funding for the ill-managed and inhuman Wild Horse & Burro program.

You can also call the House subcommittee members to urge 
them to reject the current Wild Horse & Burro budget proposal which wastes tax dollars by increasing funding of an ill-conceived, broken program. Secretary Salazar's proposal is bad for wild horses and bad for American taxpayers.  See below for more details.
