Target: Grand County Sheriff Jamison Wiggins
Goal: Capture the person(s) responsible for slaughtering wild horses in the desert.
Out in the desert near Moab, Utah, people have been finding dozens of dead wild horses with bullet holes in their sculls. According to two brothers who have been finding many of the horses, a typical day is like – “We find two down here. Three right here, four up there. Five, six, seven, eight, nine…”
“Oh my goodness that’s a lot of horses,” his brother exclaims. “Someone went to town.”
Who that “someone” is, authorities do not know. What they do know, however, is that someone is prowling the desert, hunting wild horses with a gun.
Some people have speculated that the killer is a local cattle rancher. Historically, many cattle ranchers have run into conflicts with wild horses, since the horses graze the same grasses that cows eat. This has lead to many ranchers advocating for the extermination of wild horse herds.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff Wiggins,
In the desert of Grand County, Utah, dozens of wild horses have been turning up dead with bullet holes in their skulls. According to two brothers who have been finding many of the horses, there are dozens of these poor animals lying out in the desert.
There is no indication that your office has identified a suspect, nor have you released details on the status of the investigation. We sincerely hope that you are working hard to build a case.
Some people have speculated that the killer is a local cattle rancher. Historically, many cattle ranchers have run into conflicts with wild horses, since the horses graze the same grasses that cows eat. This has lead to many ranchers advocating for the extermination of wild horse herds.
Whoever the killer is, please dedicate sufficient resources to find and arrest the person or persons responsible for these heinous killings.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
