“Velma Johnston, also known as Wild Horse Annie, grabbed hold of me from the moment I read about her in Deanne Stillman’s fascinating book. Despite physical and emotional challenges, Johnston committed her life to getting federal protection for our wild horses and burros, saving them from cruel roundups and barbaric slaughter.”

–Wendie Malick, star and producer of Wild Horse Annie, a movie about the life and work of Velma Johnston, animal activist who wanted to stop the removal of mustangs and burros from public lands.

A Hallmark Channel movie, Wild Horse Annie, is scheduled for completion of filming in 2012. The movie is based on the book Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West by Deanne Stillman.

The Environmental Media Association and Yes To Carrots teamed up to launch “The Garden Challenge” that encourages students to get acquainted with growing their own produce in a contest where schools competed for a gardening grant.

Students uploaded videos explaining why a garden would be a great addition to their schools.

Daryl Hannah, Wendie Malick, and Rosario Dawson all have words to say in the video at CBS as they’re outside among students and cabbage.

Hannah thinks a school garden will make students less fearful of vegetables.

“I become a vegetarian when I was 11, but I was always afraid of vegetables,” Hannah said. “It wasn’t until I actually started growing them that I was not afraid to eat them.”

A video of the event can be viewed at CBS.

The CW & AT&T's "Melrose Place" Premiere Party - Arrivals

Nip/Tuck actress Kelly Carlson and Just Shoot Me‘s Wendie Malick, along with Wayne Pacelle and other representatives from the Humane Society, took time to educate Congress on the horse welfare.

They were there to lobby for bill H.R. 503/S. 727, which, according to US News, prevents transport of American horses to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada and stops roundups of wild horses by the U.S. government.

Equine slaughterhouses don’t exist in the US, but horses are often rounded up there and sent to these countries where they are slaughtered and the meat is bought by Belgian owned companies and consumed in Europe.

Sounds like the group kept their concern for animals when it was time for lunch, as they conducted a press conference at K Street’s Teatro Goldoni over what sounded like a vegetarian dish–fresh beet salad and angel hair pasta.

Carlson also participates in horse rescue and rehabilitation with an organization in Canada.
