Horse CareAct Today: 1-Day Wild Horse & Burro Action Blitz
Two critically important DOI/BLM Appropriation hearings to be held the same day This is a one-day Action Blitz. Comments are needed ASAP for TWO BLM Appropriations hearings. We just learned of TWO critically important budget hearings before the House AND Senate Appropriations Subcommittees for the Department of Interior (DOI) budget, both scheduled for Tuesday, March 9. At these hearings, DOI Secretary Salazar (9:30 am) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Bob Abbey (2:00 pm) will testify on the proposed FY 2011 DOI/BLM budget, which includes funding for the fundamentally broken BLM wild horse and burro program. Director Abbey will testify specifically about BLM’s budget before the House Appropriations Subcommittee. We need to make sure the Senators and Representatives at both of these crucial hearings on Tuesday hear loudly from Americans that this program needs systemic reform – that roundups must stop and no funding should be given for Secretary Salazar’s proposed “preserve.” YOUR voice is desperately needed. Let’s do what we can to try to get Congress to address the horrible wild horse and burro program at these critically important hearings on Tuesday.

Your support of IDA’s Project Hope Sanctuary made this possible On April 10, 2009, IDA’s Project Hope Sanctuary in Mississippi received an urgent plea from the Yalobusha County Sheriff’s Department. The department needed immediate shelter for 4 horses they were seizing at that moment. Three of the horses were severely emaciated. When deputies questioned the horses’ “owner” – he certainly was not a “guardian” by any stretch of the word – the deputies learned that the 4th horse was in better condition only because he was purchased only 2 weeks prior to the seizure. While his three horses were starving, he bought a new horse to ride. He claimed he was caring well for the horses by mowing his property to feed them.
