Ed Harris Advocates for Wild Horse Protection in New PSA for Return to Freedom

In a powerful new public service announcement (PSA), renowned actor Ed Harris brings urgent attention to the challenges faced by America’s wild horses. This campaign from Return to Freedom Wild Horse Conservation (RTF) aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting these iconic animals and the public lands they inhabit.

The PSA emphasizes the beauty and historical significance of wild horses, describing them as a uniquely American symbol of freedom. Harris states, "The wild horses in the West are a uniquely American symbol of freedom. Our public lands are part of our collective inheritance as citizens, and the wildlife and habitat on those lands are part of our shared responsibility."

Harris passionately addresses the pressing need for action, stating that the future of these majestic creatures relies on effective conservation strategies that involve humane and sustainable approaches. He highlights that, while solutions are at hand, it will take dedicated leadership and vision to implement them effectively.

Return to Freedom, founded in 1997, is a national nonprofit organization committed to the preservation, welfare, and future of wild horses and burros. Over the past 25 years, the organization has been a tireless advocate for maintaining wild horse populations on their natural ranges while promoting balanced land stewardship that benefits both the animals and local communities. Their efforts include advocacy for conservation, educational outreach, and programs aimed at controlling fertility, thus reducing the need for costly roundups.

Harris notes the interconnectedness of various wildlife and habitats, urging the public to rally behind RTF's mission. He passionately reminds us that “The time is now to support Return to Freedom's efforts. America's wild horses cannot speak for themselves, but together, we can ensure they remain protected, respected, and free."

In acknowledging his dedication to the western genre, Ed Harris was recently inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame, a testament to his ongoing contributions through roles in productions like "Appaloosa" and HBO’s popular series "Westworld." Presently, he continues to captivate audiences as a star in the Yellowstone spinoff series "Dutton Ranch."

RTF provides sanctuary for nearly 500 rescued mustangs and burros at multiple locations in California. Their sanctuary offers not only care for these animals but also serves as a model for holistic regenerative grazing and minimally intrusive management practices as viable alternatives to disruptive and costly roundups. This initiative is not just about protecting the wild horses; it's about ensuring the health of our natural resources for generations to come.

As the voice of this impactful campaign, Ed Harris encourages everyone to engage with and support efforts aimed at protecting America's wild horses. By working together, he insists, we can help maintain the freedom of these animals and the natural landscapes they inhabit, ensuring their legacy for future generations to cherish.
