President Michelle Bachelet Government of Chile: STOP the HUNT! SAVE the Wild Horses of Yendegaya,Tierra del Fuego
These wild horses of Tierra del Fuego are the last reserve of wild horses in the Chilean Patagonia. They belong in their habitat, they have live there FREE for many Centuries. Until Mr Douglas Tomkins, a so called environmentalist from Ohio came into action and bought this wild land also sign a contract to get ride of the horses. "Tompkins has dedicated himself to environmental activism and land conservation. Along with his wife, Kristine Tompkins, he has conserved over 2 million acres (8,100 km2) of wilderness in Chile" ( Quote from Wikipedia)
So in the pass years these beautiful creatures had being rounded up, abused, haunted, slaughtered and sold for meat. How is that possible?.....
They were about 5.000 horses there numbers are shrinking quickly. Since this is literally at the end of the World is hard to get an account of how many are left and how much time we have left to save them.
The Chilean government responding to a local demand from a local organization said they had NO idea of this contract between Mr Tomkins and Mr Serka (a local hunter) to hunt the horses.
WHAT IT IS WE WANT? We need the complete commitment of President Michelle Bachelet and the Chilean Government to investigate the situation and come up with a PLAN to provide a SAFE environment for these horses in their wild habitat. A wild horse Sanctuary. Like the one in the Argentinian Patagonia.
So our grandchildren can also see them running free, like the wild mustangs in the USA or the white horses in France.
These precious horses belong to Humanity, they belong to ALL of US!
