The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) commenced its summer roundups at the start of this month, beginning in Nevada’s Antelope Complex. AWHC has deployed our humane observers into the field where they have already witnessed several egregious injuries and preventable deaths of our beloved wild horses in just the first week of this massive roundup – from the stallion who snapped his leg trying to escape a BLM trap site, to the mare who broke her neck slamming into a panel, to the 5 foals who lost their lives.
Yet, despite these tragedies, the BLM helicopter roundups will continue through the end of the year, guaranteeing that there will be more injuries and more fatalities.
Wild horses and burros are an integral part of the western landscape and deserve to be treated as such. We know how important it is to shed light on the cruel treatment these iconic animals are facing because when the public learns about what’s happening to our wild herds, they’re angry, appalled, and ready to take action.
We need to make sure Americans from coast to coast know exactly what their tax dollars are funding AND that there is a better way to manage our wild horses and burros that keeps them safe, free, and in the wild — where they belong.
Thank you.
