“We are all, collectively, disgusted and dismayed at the concept of the Oregon State University (OSU) partnering with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct cruel and unnecessary sterilization experiments on federally protected wild fillies and mares. It is unconscionable and we do NOT want it to proceed and we surely don’t want to watch/observe it. We want to STOP IT!!!
Many times our readers ask what they can do to help, how can they make a difference, what can be done to stop the madness…well here is your chance to speak out.
Printed below is a letter, minus your personal contact information, that you can update, print out, snail mail or email electronically to OSU and even cut and paste into the United States Department of Agriculture – Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s web form page. We also have provided a link where you can download the letter in Word along with the contact information.
So have at it and please proceed with haste; enter your contact information and let it fly…the wild mares are running out of time.
If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me, personally, at rt@rtfitch.com or rtfitch@wildhorsefreedomfederation.org.
Get after it, my friends, spread the word…you have the tools!” ~ R.T.
