3 Days Left to Take A Stand for Oregon Mustangs

Just two days are left to add your name to the petition against the Mega Mustang Roundup planned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Beatys Butte Herd Management Area (HMA) in southeastern Oregon. Your signatures will be hand delivered to at a joint meeting of the BLM John Day-Snake and Southeast Oregon Resource Advisory Councils (RACs) this Tuesday, October 27, so please sign today!

The massive helicopter roundup — which is targeting an astounding 1,500 wild horses for permanent removal from their homes on the range — is scheduled to start in just ten days. The roundup is being conducted to appease ranchers who graze cattle in the HMA. The capture operation will cost American taxpayers up to $76 million for the helicopter stampede lifetime warehousing of the captured mustangs. It will cost the horses their freedom, their families and, in some cases, their lives.

The two RACs that are meeting next week advise the BLM on policies that affect most of the HMAs in Oregon. Help us deliver a strong message to these citizen advisory boards to show that the American public will not tolerate this brutal treatment of our cherished wild horses and burros!
