Plan aims to get 1000 wild horses adopted

Animal welfare groups in the United States have joined forces in an ambitious plan to get 1000 wild horses adopted in the first National Wild Horse Adoption Day, to be held September. The aim of groups backing the day is to encourage the American public to consider adoption of a wild horse or burro. The goal of 1000 horses adopted through the National Adoption Day programme could create a savings of more than $US1.5 million for the bureau. State bureau offices, as well as wild horse groups, rescue centres, and volunteers will be engaged in activities leading up to and on the designated day - September 26...Horsetalk
