2-27-2005...H.R. 297 Reverses
Burns Wild Horse Slaughter amendment:
U.S. Rep. Nick J.
Rahall (D-WV) introduced on
H.R. 297 bill into the 1st section
of 109th Congress on 1-25-2005, which reverses the U.S. Senator Conrad Burns'
(MT-R) slaughter amendment to the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horses & Burros
Act...Wild Horse Annie's bill. Rahall's bill states,
"To
restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of
wild free-roaming horses and burros".
Revive the
"Spirit of Wild Horse Annie"
to once again SAVE America's free-roaming wild horses & burros
from massive illegal removals
 from their legal native ranges by
BLM. SIGN
the
American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign
Petition,
to show support for
America's wild horses & burros and move Congress to conduct an
investigation of BLM management policies and help support
a
grassroots campaign of letters/faxes
in
support of
H.R. 297
introduced by U.S.
Rep. Nick J. Rahall (WV-D). Thank you
Rep. Rahall! Were
you the lucky 25,000th signature?

►2-19-2005...WHAT
HAPPENED? Unfortunately, U.S. Senator Conrad Burns' (R-MT)
sneaked #142 rider into
the U.S. Senate 3000+ page Omnibus appropriation bill (#4818),
without a public hearing, just
before Thanksgiving 2004 "gutting" Wild Horse Annie's 1971 Wild Free
Roaming Horses and Burros Act (Section
3 of the Act...P.L. 92-195) and was SIGNED by
President Bush to allow slaughter of
thousands of America's wild horses.
http://www.horserescueofamerica.org
reveals an accurate truthful video/information regarding the
current plight of America's wild horses at the hands of BLM and
the private corporate livestock industry and updated info
regarding H.R. 297 that hopefully will reverse the Burns'
slaughter rider.

Welcome to the photography of the Wonderful World of
America's
Free Roaming Wild Horses...photos showing
their free roaming natural beauty. Either great gifts or
for your home! Our most recent exhibit was on
display at the Washoe County
Downtown Reno Library, 301 S. Center Street, Reno, NV and ended 1-30-2004. Our
exhibit included individual wild horse rescue stories,
too. Thanks Washoe Co Library for your support of free roaming
wild horses! |
6-3-2003...Texas Horse Slaughter bill that would
have overturned a 1949
Texas law banning horse slaughtering for human consumption is
stopped...but the two Belgium foreign-owned horse slaughterhouses in
Texas now aims higher under the auspices that federal law
supercedes state laws. Meanwhile, slaughtering of ten of
thousands of horses continue in Texas. Illinois
legislators did a 180 degree turn against America's horses.
The Illinois legislature has sentenced America's horses to
horrible deaths by defeating the bill Illinois, HB 3845, that would
have prevented rebuilding and reopening of the Cavel
International foreign-owned horse slaughterhouse plant for human
consumption in De Kalb, Illinois. NOW, there are now
three foreign-owned horse slaughterhouses for human consumption
in USA.
2-19-2005...See above how you can help stop these atrocities against
America's horses...support H.R. 297 introduced on
1-25-2005 "to restore the prohibition on the commercial sale
and slaughter of wild free roaming horses and burros" into
109th U.S. Congress by Rep. Rahall AND U.S. H.R. 503
(American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act). |

1998 Christmas Holiday wild horses
slaughter near Reno NV:
5-30-2001
- After Judge Griffin
dismissed all charges except for one horse of the original 34
horses, Nevada Supreme Court panel
reinstated
an additional seven charges against the three defendants,
Merlino, ex-Marine Brock, &
ex-Marine Brendle for a total of eight horses. See News Articles 4-7-2001 and
4-13-2001. TRIAL
was then set for
1-7-2002 to
1-22-2002 in Judge Griffin's Carson City
District Court. Meanwhile,
Plea-Bargaining
on 1-11-2002 was accepted
for only horse #12. Judge Griffin sentenced the three
defendants on
2-11-2002 to
what was only a "slap on the hand".

"CHILDREN
ALMOST MOVED MOUNTAINS"...NV Assembly Bill 219,
which originated thru
Henderson, NV elementary students and introduced
into the 2001 Nevada Legislature by
Assemblywoman Barbara
Buckley, D-Las Vegas, to make the Wild Horse/Mustang Nevada's
2nd state animal,
along side the bighorn sheep, was withdrawn
by Assemblywoman Buckley when
NV Senator Dean Rhoads-R, father of Sagebrush Rebellion and public lands
rancher, introduced
amendment 1001 that turned the children's Assembly Bill 219 into just another Nevada
pro-livestock/anti-wild horse bill. See
5-26-2001 and
6-3-2001. Then NV Senator Amodei-R,
Storey County, Nevada, where the 98 Christmas holiday
wild horse slaughter occurred, cast the
deciding Senate floor
vote against the children's bill.
Kids, you fought a great battle
 presenting all
the facts that should have made the wild horse/mustang
Nevada's 2nd state animal.
Never give up
for what you know is right! Remember Nevada's Wild
Horse Annie's
philosophy was battles may be won, but the
war continues on to protect and
preserve America's free
roaming wild horses & burros.
