Nevada Governor must rescue Nevada Mustangs 
The Virginia Range wild horses fall
under the control of the Nevada Department of Agriculture. State laws
designate them “stray livestock” no matter how many generations they’ve roamed the sagebrush hills of the Silver State.
This means they can be and are taken to livestock auctions where they are sold by the pound to kill buyers. Wild horse advocates worldwide asked Nevada Governor Bryan Sandoval to halt the “trap – castrate – destroy” cycle.
October 4,
2013: private-public partnership is created to cut NDA costs and save mustangs.
January 2014: ,ASPCA’s Kevin O'Neill and
wild horse advocates meet with NDA to express concern at the Department's failure to implement agreement. Advocates are told action is pending.
February: wild horse trapping continues
March 2014
: silence from the governor’s office as NDA reverts to “trap – castrate –
destroy”
Today: Email, Phone, Fax the Governor and tell him to act on this win-win way to humanely manage the Virginia Range horses
ON THE RANGE through the proposed private-public partnership.

Wednesday, January 08, 2014 Gov. Sandoval: Rein in the Runaway Nevada Department of Agriculture
Dear Governor Sandoval: The January 4 trap-and-snatch of wild horses from the Rhodes Road equestrian community of Reno is yet another mistake by the Nevada Department of Agriculture. The public has repeatedly volunteered to work with this department to help home-owners obey the fence-out law in Nevada, but the Department of Agriculture continues to waste money and good will by scurrying to do the bidding of a few wealthy people. Department of Ag should enter into the long-discussed on-the-range-management cooperative agreement with advocates immediately. We have our Western boots on the ground and we're ready to implement humane management, but the Department of Agriculture continues to dawdle. Responsible property owners understand that if they don't want wild horses on their property, they must fence them out. It's that simple. These iconic wild horses are not only a tourist draw, they delight the eyes and hearts of most Nevadans. Please take a stand for the law, and take charge of this runaway agency.
