Kids For Horses 2008 Letter Writing Campaign

Charise DeMao an activist for anti-slaughter legislation has developed a letter writing campaign to give a voice to American children. They can make a difference in the lives of our wild horses and burros! The KIDS FOR HORSES campaign is modeled after Velma Johnston's (aka "Wild Horse Annie") attempts in the 1950's whereby she encouraged school children write letters detailing their disgust for the slaughtering of wild horses and burros. The campaign was picked up nationwide and eventually resulted in the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act. This Act was very effective, but in 2001 Senator Conrad Burns snuck in an amendment into a 3000 page spending bill that President Bush signed in 2001, allowing wild horses and burros to once again be slaughtered in 2004! There was once 2 million wild horses and burros, but now there are only 25,000 left. Please don't let these animals go extinct in the wild!

Parents and Teachers, this problem will only be solved through awareness. The future can start with our children. Encourage your child to write your Senators and Representatives!

Put in your zip code to find out who your Senators and Representatives are, then write them a letter, tell them to Save America's Wild Horses and Burros by supporting Bill H.R. 6598 to save America's Horses, including our Wild Horses & Burros once again!
