How we’re fighting for Wyoming’s wild herds – and what you can do to help
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
In just a few days, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is set to begin an inhumane and unnecessary roundup of Wyoming’s McCullough Peaks wild horses.
This bait trap operation would remove up to 41 innocent mustangs from their home and would threaten the genetic health and longevity of this historic wild horse herd. We need to speak up against this disastrous plan before it’s too late.
That’s why we’ve been ramping up our awareness efforts, both in Wyoming and nationwide, to stop the BLM from moving forward with the McCullough Peaks roundup.
We’ve launched billboards in Cody, Wyoming just outside of where the McCullough Peaks wild horses live:
We’ve also launched billboards in Cheyenne, Wyoming where BLM leadership is located, and mobile billboards in Washington, DC which are driving around the National Mall — including to the U.S. Department of the Interior — to pressure policymakers into action:
To bolster our awareness, we are also running ads in local newspapers, such as the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and Casper Star-Tribune to spread the word about this pointless and cruel roundup. And finally, we launched TV ads on streaming services to bring national awareness to this issue.
We’re doing all we can to make sure the McCullough Peaks wild horses stay wild and free – but we need your help. Here’s how you can help STOP the roundup of the McCullough Peaks wild horses:
- Send an email to the BLM, DOI, and Wyoming leadership by visiting keepwywyld.com

the horses need to be saved; they do thrive in their natural environment.
The public is very aware of the deception and propaganda that’s fed to us concerning them.
We want all round ups to be stopped we’re asking you to leave them alone.
what is done to the horses is all about profit and money. It’s not about the lives the horses deserve to live and to be left alone.
The public will continue to speak out against what is being done to the horses We aren’t going away!

The public is being deceived, and the propaganda out there concerning the horses are all false.
There is big money and profit fort those who are the elite on this subject.
We aren’t going anywhere. We want the round ups, the buying, selling and trading of the horses to stop.
They thrive in their own environment.
