I am writing to you as a concerned constituent and a passionate advocate for America’s wild horses and burros. I am participating in an online protest to draw attention to their removals from Public Lands. Their future depends on the decisions you make as my elected representative. Wild equines are a symbol of resilience. They remind us of the importance of preserving the natural world. Yet, our wild and free-roaming horses are being zeroed out. Wild equine support ecosystems and biodiversity. It makes sense to manage them humanely on the public lands promised them by Congress. I support the call to halt all removals. It is with a sense of urgency that I call upon you to address the pressing issue of preserving wild equine. The current situation demands immediate attention and effective measures to ensure their protection and welfare. I urge you to consider the following: -The BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program is a controversial and costly taxpayer funded program. There is a growing call from private citizens to stop the roundups and maintain these herds on the lands set aside for them in the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (Public Law 92-195). -Despite claims of overpopulation, the Bureau has cut the original number of federal Herd Management Areas in half. The BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program annual expense reports confirm the bulk of the program funds are spent on removals and holding expenses instead of range and herd management. Using data obtained from the Bureau of Land Management via the Freedom of Information Act, PEER has documented the majority of public land degradation is attributed to livestock grazing. -Keeping wild equines on their designated lands is the most fiscally responsible option available. Congress can protect taxpayer funds by calling for an independent analysis to study the financial savings impact on the federal budget of on-range management of wild horse and burros. As my elected representative, you have the power to influence positive change and champion the needs of your constituents. Your help will not only demonstrate your commitment to the well-being of America’s wild equine but also also leave a lasting legacy of progress. I am requesting an opportunity to discuss this matter further with you or your staff. I look forward to your positive response. Your assistance and actions will help your constituents find solutions to improve the Wild Horse and Burro Program. Thank you for your dedication to public service and for taking the time to consider my concerns.

Dear [Elected Official's Name], I am reaching out to you today as a dedicated constituent and unwavering supporter of America's wild horses and burros. I support the collective effort to raise awareness about the urgent need to halt the removal of the wild equines from our Public Lands. The decisions you make as our elected representative hold the key to securing a brighter future for these iconic animals. Wild equines embody a spirit of resilience and serve as a vital reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world. The current trend of zeroing out wild horse populations contradicts the very essence of their existence. These animals play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and promoting biodiversity. It is imperative that we manage them humanely on the lands designated for them by Congress. I wholeheartedly support the call to cease all removal activities. The situation at hand demands immediate attention and steadfast action to safeguard the well-being of wild equines. As a concerned constituent, I implore you to consider the following critical points: - The controversy and high costs associated with the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program have sparked widespread public concern. Many citizens are advocating for an end to roundups and a shift towards managing these herds on the public lands allocated to them under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (Public Law 92-195). - Despite claims of overpopulation, the Bureau has drastically reduced the number of federal Herd Management Areas, while the program's expenditures primarily focus on removals and holding costs rather than comprehensive range and herd management. Studies have revealed that a significant portion of public land degradation is attributed to livestock grazing rather than wild equine populations. - Maintaining wild equines on their designated lands is not only ethically sound but also the most economically prudent choice. Congress has the opportunity to protect taxpayer resources by commissioning an independent analysis to assess the financial benefits of on-range management for wild horses and burros on the federal budget. Your influence as an elected official holds tremendous power in effecting positive change and advocating for the interests of your constituents. By championing the cause of America's wild equines, you have the chance to leave a lasting legacy of progress and compassion. I respectfully request an opportunity to further discuss this critical issue with you or your dedicated staff. Your thoughtful consideration and proactive steps towards addressing this matter will be deeply appreciated by your constituents and will contribute to enhancing the Wild Horse and Burro Program. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to public service and for attentively reviewing my concerns. Your support and actions are instrumental in paving the way for constructive solutions to enhance the welfare of America's wild horses and burros. Warm regards, [Your Name]
