We have heard from sources in Washington D.C. that certain unnamed U.S. legislators are sneakily trying to remove equine protections from the Appropriations Committee 2019 spending bill. The finalization and vote will be within just days. We must act now because this underhanded attempt to sneak such language against America’s wild horses and burros into the bill is occurring at the last minute. 

In the past several years, the House Appropriations Committee has proposed nefarious amendments to the budget bill, usually submitted by Representative Chris Stewart of Utah. These ranged from mass killing, to inhumane sterilization, to unlimited sale to slaughter of America’s wild horses and burros. 

The Senate Appropriations Committee has not allowed these horrific riders to go forward in the past, but now this strategic move of subterfuge at the last-minute hopes to circumvent any close scrutiny due to time restraints.
