PLEASE SUPPORT THE AMERICAN HORSE SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT!
The state of Nevada is a "fence out" state and we want to share this information about the Nevada Range Land Disclosure form with you
In 2001, wild horse enthusiasts rallied together to save “Two Socks,” a stately bay stallion, when he was removed. As his sire before him, “Two Socks” had roamed free in a valley, just east of Dayton, Nevada, for over 20 years. With his great temperament, gentle nature and excellent conformation, it was a pleasure to see him though he never allowed anyone to touch him. He was the epitome of the best in a wild horse. He not only threw beautiful foals but ones that could survive and thrive in the wild. Residents were horrified when he was captured, knowing a horse that old, especially a stallion, would never find an adopter and, undoubtedly, be sent to auction for slaughter. The Wild Horse Preservation League was quickly formed to find an immediate care-giver for him locally. Though this great horse has lost his freedom, he did not lose his life. “Two Socks” is our “Poster Child,” and the impetus for causing people to finally speak out, and be heard on the plight of OUR wild horses.
The Wild Horse Preservation League is always open to new ideas and voices in the struggle to keep our wild horses free from slaughter and eventual extinction. We do not wish to see them all put in a limited number of sanctuaries. However, we need your help to keep their freedom on OUR public lands.
To help, please voice your concerns to the following; Mr. Bob Abbey, State Director, BLM, (775) 861-6400; Ms. Gail Norton, Secretary, Dept. of the Interior, (202) 208-3100; or Mr. Don Henderson, Director, NV Department of Ag., (775) 688-1182.
