What percentage of Americans want slaughter?
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We just completed a national poll about wild horses, asking Americans whether they want continuing protection of wild horses or slaughter. The result:
- 80% of Americans “prefer continuing protection of America’s wild horses from slaughter”
- 15% of Americans “think we should end protections and allow slaughter of America’s wild horses“
[toggle_framed title=”Continue Reading” variation=”blue”]
You can’t argue with those numbers. By a massive margin, cutting across regional and partisan lines, Americans want the protection of wild horses and they do not want to end the ban on slaughter of America’s wild horses. Can you share this graphic now on Facebook and help us get these numbers out there:
The rest of the poll results are just as clear:
- 76% of Americans support the use of birth control to manage the wild horse population
- 65% of Americans would be less likely to vote for their congressperson if they support the slaughter provision
Congress should take note. We just validated that Americans everywhere agree with our loud and clear cry: #NoHorseSlaugther No Way.
Please share our graphic now. And keep up the calls and emails. Votes are expected next Tuesday.
Thank you for being with us,

You must ask yourself who or what entity is pressuring leadership to destroy these beautiful gracious FREE animals… So far my research is telling me 2 top contenders..BIG, GREEDY, DIRTY, LIFE KILLING, PROFIT AT ANY COST ENERGY PRODUCERS.i.e.URANIUM MINES..Transfer Pipeline’s just like Standing Rock. The plan has been in the works for MANY YEARS from Canada through the Southwest (right through Mohave County AZ) and onward through Texas and down to Mexico. The PUBLIC LANDS that they have been promised by corrupt officials are the GOLDEN EGG for them? Destroy massive acreage throughout the Southwest, take control of what water might be left and sell it to the highest bidder. THEN pass on the actual clean up costs to the tax payer via SUPER FUNDS and such…point in fact Uranium contamination cannot be cleaned up sufficiently as to not cause irreparable damage to everything around it…AIR, WATER, EXTENSIVE HEALTH IMPAIRMENTS! We hear that some of these corporations and others have been given the open house tour in advance of the PUBLIC LAND SALE/fraud going on in our government? ….
The second, and I really hate this as I come from a proud family farm background in the Midwest and I have lived in the middle of free roam range for almost 20 years..I consider a few of the ranchers my friends. This is why I researched and researched to be sure I came to the right premise concerning this….The stats conclude that cattle dominate the use of PUBLIC LAND at minuscule cost. There are MILLIONS of free range cattle roaming public lands while only about 16,000 to 20,000 Wild Horses live there. The cattle are far more destructive than the horses. ALSO the government is siphoning MILLIONS to cover the deficit of these ranching programs…It costs more to run the program then they take in from the ranchers. I know that my family fed, watered and cared for their livestock on their own dime as they should because it is a BUSINESS FOR PROFIT….That’s our tax dollars and our public lands.
Although I am never surprised at what some will do for money and power I find it ALARMING that the PEOPLES outcry on these vital issue…extinction of species, destruction of the environment for profit, tax dollars for private entity’s doing business for profit…;How much longer will we tolerate this dominance as AMERICANS….????
