The Issue

The end is coming to the Salt River Wild Horses. It will be as soon as THIS FRIDAY. Please read the below post from Salt River Wild Horse Managment Group and the attached link to the public announcement by the forest service. 
They will "impound" any horses which are non branded (which are considered "Stray livestock" even though these animals were born in the wild and live in the wild and if no one claims them, they will be sold at public auction (which most certainly seals their fate to go to slaughter in Mexico) and any not sold at Public Auction will go to "private auction or be "destroyed or otherwise disposed of". This is a great injustice for these horses.
PLEASE help the Salt River horses by following the instructions below --
We only have a few days before they are GONE FOREVER!!
Post from Salt River Wild Horse Management Group --
"ALERT ALERT ALERT! With this public notice the Forest Service is announcing the annihilation of the Salt River Wild Horses in Mesa, AZ. Please help us in creating an unprecedented public outrage. Please film yourself for 30 seconds and explain why you feel that the Forest Service should preserve the Salt River Wild Horses for future generations. We will post all videos here for the world to see. There are less than 500 wild horses left in the entire state of Arizona. Please join us in asking the Forest Service to work with the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group towards humane management, not extinction. Also Please call the Chief of the Forest Service Mr. Tom Tidwell at (202) 205-8439 ttidwell@fs.fed.us or the USFS at 1 800 832 1355 as well as Forest Service supervisor Neil Bosworth at 602 225 5201 and ask them to work with the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group https://www.facebook.com/saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup instead of shortchanging future generations by removing this iconic and famous herd. Thank You"
