The federal government’s wild horse and burro holding system is at the brink >>

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Right now, over 66,000 wild horses and burros are held in captivity by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – and the agency recently announced it plans to round up 11,000 more next year. Rush a donation now and help us fight back to keep these innocent animals in the wild where they belong!

This is the heartbreaking reality for over 66,000 of our nation’s formerly free-roaming wild horses and burros.

Tens of thousands of innocent animals are crammed into corrals, oftentimes with no shade or room to run, vulnerable to deadly disease outbreaks, and in danger of being funneled into the slaughter pipeline via the BLM’s disastrous Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) – all on the taxpayers’ dime every year.

We know it doesn’t have to be like this. Through our fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range, we’ve been proving for over five years that there IS a better way to manage our nation’s wild horses and burros — one that keeps them out of these overburdened facilities and in the wild where they’re meant to be.

But, over 16,000 mustangs and burros were captured in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 alone. Now, with our wild horse and burro holding system already at the brink, the agency is planning to round up another 11,000 in FY 2025 – placing the lives of so many of these innocent animals in jeopardy. 

Whether it’s in the field, in the courts, or on Capitol Hill, we’re committed to continuing the fight for the freedom of our wild herds. Will you make a contribution today to support our efforts to keep wild horses and burros in the wild where they belong?

Thank you,
