Sheryl Crow calls for halt to wild-horse roundups
RENO, Nev. — Sheryl Crow is joining others in calling on the federal government to halt roundups of wild horses in the West, branding them as inhumane and unnecessary.
The Grammy Award-winning singer has asked President Barack Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to scrap a proposed roundup of 2,500 mustangs in northern Nevada.
Crow, who has adopted a mustang, campaigned for Obama last year. She opposes Salazar’s plan to move thousands of wild horses to preserves in the Midwest and East to protect horse herds and the rangelands that support them.
