A Dangerous Time for America’s Mustangs & Burros

The following article is from the American Wild Horse Preservation.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) winter roundup season is in full swing. As I write this, BLM helicopters are hunting down wild horses, rounding up every one of the estimated 180 mustangs living in the Humboldt Herd Area on 219,000 acres of public land that has essentially been turned over to private, commercial ranching interests.

Even as the helicopters fly, AWHPC is working tirelessly to change our government’s heartless and costly roundup program. We’re…..

…Waging court battles in four states, defending wild horses from legal attacks by ranchers and their political allies.

…Implementing on-the-range management programs that Keep Wild Horses Wild and prevent removals of wild horses from their homes on the range.

…Growing the grassroots movement and getting more people involved. This is the cornerstone of the effort to save America’s wild horses and burros.

Please help us continue the fight.

Make no mistake; this is a dangerous time for our national icons. Sworn enemies of wild horses and burros, such as U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), champion of ranchers, miners, drillers and loggers, are taking the reins of House and Senate committees that oversee public lands management in the West. They’re already gunning for wild horses… scapegoating them for environmental damage caused by massive livestock grazing.

During this critical time, please make a donation to support our work…. on the range, in the courts and in the halls of Congress…. to defend America’s mustangs and burros.

All contributions, no matter how large or small, are deeply appreciated and put to immediate use to defend wild horses and burros.

Thank you for making this work possible.
