Save Our Wild Horses post: The wild horses of Alberta need our help! The Alberta government has announced plans to round up the Wildies and treat mares to make them infertile for years.
From HAWS: "Please email the Premiere and the Minister. Let them know how you feel. Residents of Alberta should make it very clear that these decisions could sway your vote. Potential visitors to Alberta should also weigh in with their grievances about losing wild horses."
• You can email the gov't and tell them you were interested in visiting Alberta specifically to see the Wildies
• Indicate your disgust with their plans to remove wild horses from such a fragile population.
• They care about voters and tourist dollars. If enough people make waves they will take notice!
• Visitors or potential visitors to the area can also weigh in. You can send an email voicing your opinion on the matter. If the Wildes play a part in the reason you would choose the Alberta area wilderness for your next trip, let them know.
The email addresses are:
Premier Danielle Smith: [email protected]
and
Minister Todd Loewen: [email protected]
I'm sending my emails today. Keep your wording polite but firm! No threats or yelling with all CAPS. The is happening in Canada, not the US, so no mention of the BLM. Just tell them how much you care about wild horses and if you live outside of Canada, that you were planning a trip to see the Wildlies and spend tourism dollars. But if the horses are removed, you will cancel your plans.
Our Alberta Government, does not seem to understand nor do they care about the dynamics and bonding of horse bands and their family units.
How sad were you, for Harley, when the bear ran off his baby and two mares? How sad are you about White Spirit, losing his long standing position as band stallion? Do you believe that anyone hired by our Rangeland Dept., really gives a s**t! They don't. But we sure do. And there's a lot of us.
Who will be captured? Trojan? Pinndan? Radar? Maverick? Steele? And which mares will be darted to prevent birthing for the next 3-5 years? This all adds up to Equine Genocide!
Please email the Premire and the Minister. Let them know how you feel. Residents of Alberta, should make it very clear that these decisions could sway your vote. Either way. Potential visitors to Alberta should also weigh in with their grievances about losing wild horses. Now, everyone please send that email.
