Willie Nelson: country music royalty, environmental activist, cannabis enthusiast, and advocate for wild horses?
This has caused conflict between several parties with a stake in those lands, with the vulnerable horse population caught between them. “The Bureau of Land Management has been setting an arbitrary number for how many wild horses it thinks ought to be on our public lands, and then using taxpayer-funded helicopters to round up the herds when it has decided there are too many,” Nelson says.
The implications for the horses are far-reaching: “Historic family bands are broken as the horses are separated forever,” Nelson says. “Some are adopted or sold, and many thousands more end up living in crowded corrals or leased pastures, exposed to the elements. Some end up slaughtered for human consumption overseas.”
“The wild horses need us humans to come up with solutions that will end roundups, stop the stockpiling of horses, and ensure their safety,” Nelson continues. “Congress has provided money for this, but the Bureau of Land Management will have to make changes and improve fertility control. So far, they are failing to live up to this new direction.”
Nelson also calls on Congress to end horse slaughter by passing the SAFE Act and end round-ups: “We must speak up. Without pressure on the Bureau of Land Management from many groups, advocates for wild horses, and lawmakers, these historic symbols of American freedom will disappear.”will be released November 19th and features versions of his own songs alongside ones penned by George Harrison, Hank Williams, and Kris Kristofferson.
