😡 REALLY, Apache Sitgreaves Forest Service?! Relabeling the Heber wild horses as \u201cstray livestock\u201d ?!<\/p>\n

🚫🐎We\u2019ve seen this before \u2014 and we are still in a lawsuit about it: sending the Alpine wild horses to slaughter auctions, animal cruelty, shill bidding and selfdealing by contractor Jackie Hughes, all with your approval. 💔🐴<\/p>\n

💥 NOT. THIS. TIME. 💥<\/p>\n

These are protected wild horses and burros under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act 📜🇺🇸 \u2014 you don\u2019t get to rewrite federal law.<\/p>\n

👹Blatant disregard for the law, for the public and for innocent animals. ⚖️ . See you in court. (Again.) 🔥<\/p>\n

Sincerely, SRWHMG, Defending the defenseless against the United States Forest Service.<\/p>\n

Hey Return To Freedom, Wild Horse Conservation , American Wild Horse Conservation, The Cloud Foundation, want to join us?<\/p>\n
