Protest in SF to Stop Massive Round-Up of Wild Horses

[Guest guest]

Wild horse and burro advocates, In Defense of Animals (IDA) and the Cloud

Foundation are organizing a Wednesday rally in San Francisco. The mustang

defenders will gather at 11 am in front of Senator Diane Feinstein's office

building (One Post Street at Montgomery) asking the senator to help halt the

federal Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) massive roundup of thousands of

mustangs living in the public Calico Mountain Complex in northwestern Nevada.

The roundup is scheduled to begin today, despite a federal court ruling

recommending that the action be postponed. It will begin in secret, on private

land from which the public will be barred.
