LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Wild Horse
Controversy
Editor:
People have suggested I
write to newspapers in our
western states about the
problem I'm facing with my
book "The Wild Horse Contro
versy." I wrote it to counter
emotion with facts, to stress
the importance of our western
ranges and the need for wise
use of the range which
means intelligent control of
wild horses. The book was
published in November. The
Idaho Cattlemen, Wool
growers, Horse Council, sev
eral wildlife, wild horse and
humane groups have pro
moted it. But in February the
American Horse Protection
Association threatened my
publisher with suit. AHPA is
an eastern group that wants
wild horses to increase un
checked. They've taken the
BLM to court to halt roundups.
The AHPA doesn't like my
position on wild horses and
feels my book damages
AHPA's reputation
Because of this threat of
suit, the publisher has not
filled orders for the book since
April. People have been writ
ing to the publisher to impress
on him the need to keep
printing the book. I would
really appreciate some of your
readers writing letters (A.S.
Barnes Company, 11175
Flintkote Ave. Suite C, San
Diego, CA 92121). This prob
lem now involves our freedom
of speech as well as the wild
horse issue.
A trust fund has been set up
to help with expense of
defending the book for legal
defense in case of suit, for
legal expenses already adding
up, or for expense of getting
back the rights of the book, if
necessary whatever it takes
to assure continued publica
tion. Any help will be very ''
much appreciated. If anyone
is interested in the book and
jcaatfst one, let me know.
My next book win be on the
ttyote controversy. If anyone
tm material on this subject
that might be useful to me, I'd
Eke to bear from them.

Bellamy Btated that the
budget problems arose be
cause the Legislature had to
predict, in January of last
year, how much money the
state would collect for 1979

came home with sunburns as
well as armloads of packages.

made even more difficult
