Ep #39: The Consequences of a Roundup: The White Mountain Herd
September 2, 2024
The BLM’s controversial new plan, “The Path Forward”, is a fast track to extinction for our beloved wild horses, and we need to talk about it. Joining me for this important conversation is Debbie Coffey, writer, speaker, and long-time advocate known for her extensive work with many organizations to help the wild horses and burros.
Debbie helps me break down the deceptive language and faulty premises behind this plan, which aims to round up a staggering 130,000 horses over the next decade. Plus, we propose alternative solutions to keep these majestic creatures wild and free for generations to come.

Havent heard or seen anything from Debbie Coffey in a long time! I’m so glad to know shes still “out there” doing what she can to stem this tide!
So many names that I used to see & read about no longer appear to be working for the Wild Horses. Maybe, like me, they are older and unable to really physically DO something. I hope thats not the case.
The horses need all the help that can be mustered!!
So pleased that you are blowing the whistle on this abomination, this extreme crime by the corrupt government agencies charged with protecting and preserving America’s last wild horses and burros! It’s a thinly disguised All-Out War against the wonderful returned native wild horses and wild burros who in fact restore and heal ecosystems as returned keystone species. See my website and articles below. If there is no quick reform and restoration, it will be all done for America’s soul and the beings that keep America’s soul alive: the naturally living horses and burros!
My Nevada US Representative Mark Amodei is one of the very worst and most blatant enemies of the wild horses and burros IN THE WILD and remaining Truly Unaltered, i.e. Undomesticated!
Representatives like should be voted out of office
I am at protests. We are getting some public awareness. So we need to stop the Path Forward.
