Join the meeting in person or via Zoom and tell lawmakers that wolves are more than numbers.

Cardinale was only 4yrs old.
His fall caused chaos, unseating 3 jockeys & forcing other horses to swerve to avoid his broken body. While the injured jockeys made headlines, Cardinale’s death, like so many others, was swept under the rug. 💔🐴🕯️
