Fwd: [greenvibrations] Fwd: [STOP_HORSE_CRUELTY] Ask Senator Boxer to save wild horses from slaughter

 

Tens of thousands of us have spoken out about the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's (FWS) transfer of wild horses from the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada to Stan Palmer, the known slaughter middleman in Mississippi, but Washington isn't listening.
Just this week, another 100 horses were shipped to Palmer from Sheldon.
A Palmer employee recently urged people on Facebook to "show up with your trailer and load em up….need gone asap!!!!" adding, "when they leave my house they are no longer my business."
Following the post, Sheldon horses began leaving Palmer's property by the truckload. On October 31, the trailer below -- packed with Sheldon horses -- was one of two loads that left Palmer's headed for Magnolia, Mississippi, where the horses allegedly will be used as rodeo bucking stock. There is little doubt that these wild, untamed adult horses will eventually end up in the slaughter pipeline.

We've got to put a stop to this now.
Senator Barbara Boxer is the Chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), which has oversight authority over FWS. Take these three steps right now to ask her and EPW to get to the bottom of this situation ASAP:

1. Post to Twitter:

2. Copy the yellow text below and post to Senator Boxer's Facebook Page.

Hey Senator Boxer, before it's too late, please use your Environment & Public Works Committee oversight power to investigate why the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service transferred 252 wild horses to a slaughter middleman --> http://wildhor.se/HHaa44

3. If you haven't already, contact your Senators and encourage them to make the same request of Senator Boxer and the EPW Committee.

Thanks for acting on behalf of these defenseless horses!
