Sheryl Crow, who performed at President Obama’s inauguration, is now petitioning the President and members of Congress to stop a proposed plan to move several thousand wild horses from roaming free in Nevada.

“We are insisting that our government stop managing these beautiful and important animals to extinction,” Crow said in a statement.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management contends that the growing horse population is damaging the area, and wants to relocate thousands of horses from Nevada to preserves in the Midwest and East. But Crow feels the roundup, slated to start next month and continue through the winter, “is inhumane and must be stopped.”

Joining Crow in the petition are actors Ed Harris and Wendie Malick.
