> Reno, NV (April 21, 2010)—The Cloud Foundation and other wild horse
> advocates are coming to Reno on April 27, 2010 at 3 p.m. to witness
> Todd Davis and Joshua Keathly make their first court appearance for
> allegedly harassing and killing five federally protected American
> wild mustangs—shot on or about November 28, 2009 in Washoe county,
> Nevada. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert A. McQuaid, Jr. will preside in
> Federal District Court, 400 S. Virginia Street, Reno.
>
> Wild horse advocates find it unsettling to learn that Davis &
> Keathley are only charged with one count of causing the death of
> five wild horses for each man. Advocates are calling for charges of
> five counts, one for each horse as is standard with murder cases. If
> convicted of one count, each man will face a maximum of one year in
> prison and a maximum $100,000 fine.
>
> “If convicted, the maximum penalties need to be applied to send a
> clear message—you kill America’s federally protected mustangs and
> you will pay the price,” states Emmy-Award winning filmmaker and
> Director of The Cloud Foundation, Ginger Kathrens.
>
> The public is encouraged to attend the trial on behalf of the
> murdered horses. The Cloud Foundation joins the public in calling
> for increased charges in the violent deaths of five American
> mustangs on public land who are protected by the Wild Horse and
> Burro Act of 1971.
