Willie Nelson and Family Sing “Wild Horses”
Country Music Legend Covers Stones Classic to Help
Animal Welfare Institute Protect American Horses
March 15, 2011 (Washington, DC) – The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) is honored
to announce the exclusive release of the Rolling Stones’ classic “Wild Horses,”
performed and produced by the legendary Willie Nelson and his family members.
The Nelson family is donating the proceeds from the sale of the song to AWI’s
campaigns on behalf of wild and domestic horses. Willie and the entire Nelson
family are long-time supporters of AWI and its efforts to end horse slaughter
and preserve the right of wild horses to roam free.
"The BLM has been rounding them up at an alarming rate, supposedly for their own
good. Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
Something is wrong with that, so we must act now before the BLM has managed
these magnificent animals into extinction," said Willie Nelson. “It’s time for
the cowboys to stand up for the horses.”
The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act was enacted in 1971 to halt the
disappearance of these iconic animals from public lands in the American West.
Since then, however, over 20 million acres of land set aside by Congress for
wild horses have been removed from their range, even as the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM)—the very agency charged with their protection—claims there is
not enough land to support existing herds. BLM is removing horses at an
alarming rate based on spurious claims of damage to range and other adverse
impacts. The BLM’s mismanagement of America’s wild horses is largely designed
to benefit a livestock industry that has for decades, exploited western public
lands while profiting from massive subsidies funded by taxpayer dollars. The
Nelson Family and AWI are calling on the BLM and the Obama administration to
immediately halt all wild horse round-ups, restore the land provided by law to
wild horses and to stop warehousing horses on private lands at even greater
expense to the taxpayer.
“There is no greater voice than Willie Nelson when it comes to speaking for the
underdog. For decades, Willie has fought to protect family farmers in America,
while also advocating for the humane treatment of horses and other animals,”
said Chris Heyde, deputy director of government and legal affairs for AWI. “We
are so grateful for the support of Willie and the entire Nelson family and we
hope this song will raise awareness of the deteriorating situation facing wild
horses and help turn things around before they disappear from their lands
forever.”
