[Crisis Alert] More wild horses captured than free
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
wild horses embody the wild heart of the American West.
Their pounding hooves echo a timeless promise: That some things must remain wild, free, and unbroken.
But today, that promise is in jeopardy. With shrinking habitats, brutal helicopter roundups, and more horses held captive than roaming free, wild horses need your support now more than ever.
Our on-the-ground observers report a heartbreaking reality: During helicopter roundups, foals collapse and die — some losing their hooves from the long chase across rugged terrain. Families are torn apart, mares miscarry, and stallions break legs trying to flee. Many captured horses face overburdened holding facilities, and far too many disappear into the slaughter pipeline.
Will you answer the call to protect wild horses — and the wild lands they call home?
Thank you for standing with us to keep the West wild — for them, and for all of us.
Sincerely,
AWHC
