Save the Salt River wild horses.
These horses are beloved by locals as well as visitors from other states & countries. They are included in the tourism publication “Visit Mesa.” They bring money to the area.
The Forest Service wants to reduce the herd to 100 or 150 horses.
The wild horse is an iconic symbol of America and especially the west.
The Salt River Wild Horse Management Group has been doing a great job of managing these horses for ten years. They work in tandem with Arizona Department of Agriculture to administer birth control via darting and provide water troughs and feeding programs. All costs for these horses are paid for by contributions. They do not cost the Forestry Service a penny.
Please write letters to Governor Hobbs, other government officials to keep them in the Tonto National Forest where they belong. Share on social media.
