Bureau of Land Management Once Again Threatens Wild Mares with Dangerous Spaying Experiments
June 7, 2019Urgent Call to Action – Call Senators Today to Save Our Wild Horses
September 23, 2019Action Alert: Contact Congress Now to Save Our Wild Horses and Burros
Action Alert: This is an Emergency for Our Wild Horses & Burros
The time for you to take action and help is right now. Please keep calling.
by Carol Walker, Director of Field Documentation, Wild Horse Freedom Federation
The disastrous proposal, called “The Path Forward” which is being pushed by the National Cattleman’s Association, Humane Society of United States, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Return to Freedom calls for the roundup and removal of over 130,000 wild horses and burros from our public lands over 10 years – more than actually even exist in the wild. This will stockpile thousands more wild horses and burros in holding facilities and will ultimately lead to thousands of them being slaughtered. The proposal also endorses dangerous sterilization techniques on wild mares and skewing sex ratios of herds which will destroy the genetic viability of any wild horses and burros that remain free. This is a plan for the extinction of America’s wild horses and burros and must be opposed by US citizens. We need to enlist the help of the Senate to stop this.
Call your Senators today and tell them:
I oppose the plan to roundup and remove 130,000 wild horses and burros from our public lands. I oppose sterilization of wild mares. I oppose sending wild horses and burros to slaughter.

Please vote to save our treasured wild horses. They are our history. They are. Valuable to our land as living creatures. Noone has the right to capture them and kill them. They are Beautiful. Products of our American land.
STOP, this is not our choice,let MotherNature handle nature.????
Please save the horses and burrows.
Please contact your Senators and tell them this.

Thank you Maggie.
These are a part of the histroy of this country like the bufflo the mountian lions and the bears of all types they need are protection please stop the blm from killing all of these wonderfull animals please help the wild horses of our country
I oppose the plan to roundup and remove 130,000 wild horses and burros from our public lands. I oppose sterilization of wild mares. I oppose sending wild horses and burros to slaughter. This has been going on far too long! The facts are there in plain sight. Please investigate why our taxes are paying billions to BLM to round up and kill our beloved wild horses and burros? Welfare cattle ranchers have no business grazing cattle on public lands. Cattle are detrimental to our eco system, wild horses are eco friendly and help prevent wild fires. We must protect these beautiful creatures from becoming extinct.
Please contact your Senators and tell them this.
please help save the wild horses and stop trying to kill them all and letting the big rich ranchers from trying to take everything they have to eat and the land they run on this is not right. if they would stop over pastureing their land they would not have to hog up the free running land from every thing else.
Please contact your Senators and tell them this.
Save those horses and burros!
Please contact your Senators and tell them this.
Plz save these animals
I want the horses & burros to be left alone & remain free.
Please call your Senators.
Many thanks for this alert. Am calling and sharing.
This is wrong… What is going on that we cannot look after an animal that MADE THIS COUNTRY. Stop the madness now
These wild horses & burros belong to all Americans. They should not be harmed by any individual who does so for their own personal benefit and greed. Shared this post.
Wild Horse Annie worked diligently to preserve our wild horses. Those laws still need to be enforcement. The horses and burros are part of our history. The horse helped make this country and needs to be recognized as as such. People who live in the the south don’t have the luxury of grazing cattle on public land if you don’t have enough land you don’t have any cattle. Why should we give you up our public lands to make the ranchers richer pay twice for the meat they raise. Think about it they graze cattle on public lands that we pay for. Then they sell the cattle that were fattened onour publiy lands so therefore we pay twice for the same meat.
Please send your comments to your Senators.
yes save these wild creatures and stop killing them off.
Please send these comments to your Senators.
Killing these animals is just as bad if they are people. They are living breathing things that are not hurting anyone! Wake up people why do we want to erase these animals!!
Please send your comments to your Senators.
Sirs..I’m very concerned bout the wild horses..horses are the symbols of the west..no more roundups..no more helicopters..no more f
fighting over land rights..its not fair and you know it..I dont like the way my taxes have been spent..I never agreed to doing this to the horses much less cattle..I never ever would agree to such ..I beg your pardon..please stop doing this..this is enough..
Donna Estell,
Who are the “Sirs” you speaking to?
Or is this what you are planning to tell your members of Congress?
Save the wild burros and horses. They belong to America. The Blm land is theres. not the cattlemens. Its a fact…These horses helped
settle this beautiful country. They are valuable to our inheritance. If we kill them what do we say to our children…There are no appropriete words..They need to see and to feel. The wild west was and the horses and burros did the work..It was real not just some
movie. Our children need to see..and touch…and know what was real. they need to see for generations to come. Lona
These noble, magnificent creatures aren’t hurting anyone, therefore they should not be hurt, either! Their ancestors carried the history of this nation on their backs. They are on public land, and not invading anyone’s private property. They are committing no sins, and no crimes. Their existence is harming nobody. They were not put upon this earth to be someone’s lunch. They have every right in the world to run free, without capture, relocation, or to be chased till they break their legs, by unethical people in helicopters. This practice needs to stop. They need to be left alone. We are facing the 6th mass extinction, and this kind of irresponsible, unethical behavior needs to stop.
The BLM wants to kill our wild ones.
By killing wildlife, we kill ourselves.
This is being done due to greed as they’ve been bought and paid for by big Ag, oil and gas magnates, Forest service.
Our public lands and horses are not for sale.
Please, stop the murdering theives!
Please do not kill these magnificent horses and burros! Please stop this madness!
Leave nature to herself and her beautiful animals in it. These wild horses and burros belong in their own habitats. Taking them away and locking them up is a crime!!! Our country is already in chaos why add another awful situation to it? Save them and leave Mother Nature and her beautiful creations alone.
This is an exaggeration from a 2016 publication.
This is more accurate

I do not know what you mean by an exaggeration in 2016. You are commenting on a post from September 2019. The most recent information is on my blog post from yesterday: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/blog/blm-releases-plan-to-annihilate-americas-wild-horse-and-burro-herds
When I see a horse with the wind in its mane or see him run what a beautiful animal . Such freedom they have didn’t kill them they have a right to live. So leave them a lone and don’t put them in a can so you can make money
NO! I’m so sick of the way my tax dollars are spent! Stop destroying wildlife and the environment! Just stop!
I oppose the plan to roundup and remove 130,000 wild horses and burros from our public lands. I oppose sterilization of wild mares. I oppose sending wild horses and burros to slaughter.
This is so sick! These animals are part of the land. Leave them alone. I think the BLM has serious head problems. Who do they think they are? They are full of animal cruelity! I often wonder who flies helicopters that chase them down and seeing the fear in their eyes and being separated from their family!!!! Sick! They need toi be stopped!!! It seems like our voices dont even really matter. SAD SHAME ON THEM stupid BLM!!!!!!!
Save. Wild. Life. Amen

They’re invasive species. Nobody would give a fark if it weren’t for the facts that they’re cute and over romanticized.
@jesseL
Invasive just as much as the free roaming cattle that they are competing with for food!! The horses were technically here by the white man. Before all the ranchers started bringing in cattle. And bitching that the horses were eating what was supposed to be for the cattle.
EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!
Cattle ranchers shoulld not have free reign over these lands. Eliminating the american icon is disgraceful
I dont like m6ist HUMANS
