Tibet (#9783) is a wild horse yearling from Wyoming who has 2-Strikes against him.
3 Strikes and federally protected wild horses can be sold to anyone who says they wont sell them to slaughter
Several young wild horses in the recent internet adoption were passed over and now have received two strikes against them. All the others have one strike now. Most of these wild horses are yearlings.
BLM’s head office confirmed by email what we warned was happening despite certain holding facilities giving out misleading information and confusing the public.
Now we must act quickly to save the 2-strikes horses on the list and ensure the 1-strikers get adopted before they get two more strikes and can be sold for $10 each by the truckload to people like Tom Davis, exposed in the recent ProPublica report. Davis is quoted as saying:
“Hell, some of the finest meat you will ever eat is a fat yearling colt.”
We are working with an adopter for Desiree (2-Strike two year old mare from Nevada).
We need donations for Tibet’s transportation from Wyoming to the San Francisco Bay Area and for Blondie from Litchfield to the Bay Area too.
Thank you for taking action to help save these 2-Strike yearlings and help find adopters for the other at-risk young mustangs.
You may donate via PayPal to Contact@ProtectMustangs.org We are very grateful for your help to save these young wild horses.
Blondie (#3498) is a 2-Strike wild horse yearling from California’s High Rock HMA.
