Horseman and famous country musician Willie Nelson is asking fans to help him in his efforts to save the wild horses of America.
Nelson currently has 68 horses of his own and has joined forces with the Animal Welfare Institute – a non-profit organization for animal rights – to increase consciousness for the cause.
The legend of country music claims efforts must be done to stop the animal cruelty. He states in an open letter, “I got involved eight years ago when AWI first made me aware that American horses are being slaughtered and shipped overseas for human consumption.
“There are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild. Something is wrong with that, so we must act now before the Bureau of Land Management has managed these magnificent animals into extinction.”
