While going through some e-mail, I see Grizzly bears are in danger:

And on top of that there was some really horrifying news about California Clark Mountain Burro


AWHPC's dedication to preserving the American wild horse extends to America's burros as well, and today the Clark Mountain burro herd needs our help. This small, unique herd located in California's Mojave National Preserve is managed by the National Park Service (NPS) and is in serious jeopardy.

The NPS is in the process of eradicating burros from the Clark Mountain area. The initial phase of their plan includes helicopter round-ups during which animals are subjected to extremely stressful running conditions under which they can literally be run to death. For a disturbing eye-witness account of such a round-up, please follow this link to our Testimonials page.

The last phase of the plan involves elimination by “humane methods,” which include gunning down any remaining animals to achieve zero population. We are told that hunters have been solicited by the Park Service to shoot burros on the range. It is important to note that when an animal is shot, it is not necessarily a "kill." The burro could be injured and left to die a slow, painful death.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW to protest such an inhumane plan for the Clark Mountain Burros: voice your concern and outrage to Mojave National Preserve Superintendent Dennis Schramm, 760.252.6103, Dennis_Schramm@nps.gov.

Our California supporters should also contact their federal legislators to protest this eradication plan:

- Senator Barbara Boxer, SH-112, Washington, D.C. 20510-0505, Phone: (202) 224-3553, Fax: (415) 956-6701
Contact Via 'Web Form.'

- Senator Diane Feinstein, SH-331, Washington, D.C. 20510-0504, Phone: (202) 224-3841, Fax: (202) 228-3954 , Contact via 'Web Form'

On behalf of the burros, thank you for your support,

I can't even imagine a reason for them to be doing the last one:(.

I get a lot of e-mails like this. Maybe by posting them here once in a while I can get the word out to other people to help stop this.
