    THE VIRGINIA RANGE WILD HORSES ARE IN DANGER OF BEING SENT TO SLAUGHTER DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF THE NEW DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, RECENTLY APPOINTED BY GOV. GIBBONS.    DIRECTOR LESPERANCE HAS RECOMMENDED THE REMOVAL OF MOST OF THE WILD HORSES IN THE VIRGINIA RANGE AND IS MAKING STATEMENTS WHICH ARE NEITHER TRUE NOR ACCURATE REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE HORSES AND RANGE.
    WE HEREBY DEMAND THE VIRGINIA RANGE WILD HORSES BE GIVEN THE PROTECTION FROM MASS ROUND UPS WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE HORSES BEING SOLD FOR SLAUGHTER.
