Advocates Call Emergency Meeting...

Wild horse advocates to meet over new rules...
"The conference...is a response to a provision in a $388 billion spending bill that President Bush signed into law recently.

The provision allows wild horses be sold, potentially for use as meat in foreign markets, if they are more than 10 years old or, if younger, after they have been offered unsuccessfully for adoption three times.

'The way that (provision) was snuck in says something about the machinery of government...It didn’t have a chance to come to the public so there was no time for the democratic process,' Allen said."
