Speak up for Wild Horses before July 2 📣

The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:

The Bureau of Land Management is reviewing nationwide strategies that could shape how America’s wild horses and burros are managed for years to come.

Public comments close July 2.

This is bigger than one roundup or one herd.

The BLM’s Programmatic Environmental Assessment could influence the tools and strategies used throughout the federal Wild Horse and Burro Program, including decisions about fertility control, helicopter roundups, population targets, holding facilities, animal welfare, and public transparency.

This is an important opportunity to ask the BLM to:

• Expand proven fertility control programs, including PZP
• Prioritize humane, on-the-range management
• Move away from routine helicopter roundups
• Protect genetic diversity and long-term herd health
• Reevaluate outdated population targets using current science
• Improve transparency and animal welfare protections
• Protect removed wild horses and burros from the slaughter pipeline
• Consider livestock grazing and other land uses when evaluating range conditions

You do not need to be an expert or address every issue.

The most effective comments are written in your own words. Share why wild horses and burros matter to you and which humane management approaches you believe the BLM should prioritize.

Submit your personalized comment before July 2.

Thank you for standing with America’s wild horses and burros.
