In the spirit of Wild Horse Annie, a large group of wild horse advocates lined a main thoroughfare in the state's capitol, Carson City, with signs and posters protesting the zeroing out of the entire herd of Virginia Range wild horses in Nevada.
You can help. Join Willie Nelson and call Governor Gibbons of Nevada today.
Here is Willie's message:
Folks,
This is Willie Nelson. We're in extreme danger of losing the largest wild horse herd in the country. A precious part of our western heritage will be gone forever unless you help right now. The Nevada Department of Agriculture intends to quickly remove all 1200 of these beautiful animals - the whole herd - and send them to the livestock sale where they can be sold for slaughter.
Call Nevada Governor Gibbons right now and urge him to intervene on behalf of OUR wild horses. Call 775-684-5670.
