11
year-old Robin has been living up to her nickname "Wild Mustang
Robin" ever since she started a petition on Change.org to stop wild horses
from being sold for slaughter.
More
than 113,000 people -- including you -- signed her petition in time for the Bureau
of Land Management advisory board meeting in October. She teamed up with
other horse advocates to deliver the signatures, and over a month later she
won!
The U.S.
Secretary of the Interior announced changes in the way wild horses are sold,
including restrictions on the number of horses one person can buy and penalties
if any of them wind up being sold for slaughter.
When
Robin first started advocating for wild horses, she was going door-to-door in
the summer heat and winter wind to gather support. But after she learned about
Change.org and posted her petition online, she had signatures from all 50
states and 33 different countries in a matter of weeks.
Robin
was so excited to see people from across the country supporting her dream of
protecting wild horses. And because of you, her dream came true.
Thanks
for being a change-maker,
Stephanie
and the Change.org team
