From American Wild Horse Campaign:
The Omnibus spending bill is finally out, and America’s horses are protected for the next six months!
This is huge! Congress heard the voice of the American people and maintained protections for wild horses and burros against slaughter and mass killing. The spending bill also maintains the de facto ban on U.S. horse slaughter by continuing the prohibition for federal funding of USDA horsemeat inspections.
It IS huge – thanks to all the people who spoke up. Now if only they would really do something about the HMAs & HAs. Get the livestock out of there at least. That WOULD be a battle!
YES! 🙂 Our little voices do count for something! I am so happy for our mustangs today…but the battle goes on. Thanks for the news, TJ.
Good news for the horses.
Six months! Great but we need to keep working for the horses.
I’m happy for a little breathing room. Thanks for all your posts. It helps to see what we’re fighting to keep!
That’s definitely a big reason why I show off these beauties to the world. 🙂
