As for updates on the YEP program, I'm still working on my powerpoint, and I'll be presenting it soon.
This week, I found another petition online. This one focuses on preventing mustangs from being slaughtered for meat. It used to be illegal for people to adopt mustangs/horses and then, after obtaining a license to do so, to sell a mustang to a horse meat plant to be slaughtered. Now, it is not only legal for them to adopt and then sell a horse for meat but it is also legal for them to actually establish a horse meat plant. The petition is against that new law.

Thanks! That's all for this week.
Samantha,
ReplyDeleteThere was an article on msnbc today, Sept. 6th, you may be interested in. I think the article came from The New York Times. It's about the current round ups of the mustangs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39023276/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times
Thanks Vicki!
