A voice for the the voiceless: TCF Director Ginger Kathrens to apply as Humane Advisor to BLM

“Ginger has done her damnedest to protect the wild ones but it has been an uphill battle.  Let’s keep her on the Board and support her to the best of our ability.” ~ R.T.

For the past three years, TCF Founder and Executive Director, Ginger Kathrens, has served a critical role as humane advisor to the agency tasked with managing our wild horses and burros on our public lands. As her first term comes to a close, we are thrilled to announce that she will reapply for a second term of service.

The BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board is stocked with people from all sides of the “issue”, many who are not friendly to these magnificent animals. It’s crucial to the humane management of our wild herds to have an advocate with Ginger’s breadth of knowledge and compassion in the body of advisors.

We know that you care as much about the freedom and well-being of our wild horses as we do, and so we ask you to take action now and support Ginger’s reinstatement as Humane Advisor.

  1. How can we get more Advocates appointed to this committee along with Ginger? I will get my letter off asap! One of the ways we can help is to support her and try and get her help. Its so disgusting that these people are like a cancer which left is growing out of control! With other smoke screens in DC that leaves little time to focus on these very critical issues! God help our Wild Horses and Burros!
