Wild horse advocate to speak at Carson City Democratic luncheon
Featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Laura Leigh, President of Wild Horse Education, a 501(c)(3) registered public charity. She has been involved in anti-slaughter issues for more than two decades, carrying on the work pioneered by Velma Johnston (1912-1977), who came to be known as "Wild Horse Annie" for her fight to gain federal protection of wild horses and burros.
Laura has attended more roundups than any other observer. Her videography has aired on CNN, NBC, PBS and the BBC, and her photography has appeared in numerous print publications. She created Wild Horse Education to raise public awareness of the need to protect wild horses and burros from abuse, slaughter and ultimate extinction.
This event is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Monday, October 7th, at the Carson City Round Table Pizza, 3325 Retail Drive just off College Parkway. Sponsored by the Democratic Men’s Committee, these luncheons help keep the lights on at Carson City’s Democratic HQ. An all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar lunch buffet is available for $7.99. Water is free, extra charge for fountain drinks. Suggested donations of $5 or more gratefully accepted but are not required. All are welcome.
