17 NAVAJO HORSES RESCUED DURING
ROUNDUPS NEED HOMES
Seventeen Native Navajo
wild horses, ages 6 months -5 years old, were captured in November from the open rangelands of New
Mexico narrowly escaping slaughter during the U.S. government funded roundups,
sponsored with American tax dollars, and under the misguidance of the BLM and
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The
horses are temporarily safe thanks local rescue team members of the Navajo Horses
Rescue and Recovery Mission, but time is of the essence to get them to safety. These
horses need immediate transport out of New Mexico to safe harbor. They were picked up “as strays” during the recent roundups, just outside the reservation. Despite their obvious healthy appearance, they were claimed to be “starving due to a lack of forage on the reservation”.
To learn more read the below links… The first link is an overview and the second link a detailed explanation with the latest events listed at the bottom of the article. This is a hot-button issue and Saving America's Horses and Wild for Life Foundation are doing their utmost to intervene on behalf of the horses through legal and other ethical means.
The Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF)
