They're a symbol of freedom and their protection is mandated by federal law--but America's wild horses are being cruelly mismanaged by the very government agency charged with making sure they are safe. On this edition of Voices For The Animals, Michele Coppola talks with Scott Beckstead, former policy and campaign advisor for The Humane Society of the United States, Center for A Humane Economy, adjunct professor of animal law at Willamette University and a lifetime mustang advocate about what is happening with our wild horses and the efforts to save them before livestock and grazing interests eradicate--with our taxpayer money.
