Urgent Action Needed:
Roundups Hidden From Sight
| This is Amelia Perrin with American Wild Horse Conservation. I’m reaching out because we need your help. Thanks to your past contributions, we’ve been able to document federal wild horse roundups, ensuring greater public visibility and enabling legislators and advocates to take action. Your support has played a vital role in shining a light on these operations. | |
| The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced plans to capture more than 10,000 wild horses this year — but from what we’ve observed so far, the federal government is shielding much of this action from public view. | |
|
|
The ongoing federal roundup conducted by the United States Forest Service in Devils Garden Wild Horse Territory in California is a prime example of this. Here are a few recently documented observations from our on-the-ground volunteers:
Helicopter roundups are taking place in our public lands, and yet public access is being blocked. When the lives of federally protected wild horses are at stake, transparency cannot be an afterthought. |
|
|
|
| We’re calling on the BLM to put cameras on helicopters and wranglers, ensuring the whole operation is visible. When these roundups go dark, it’s more than a lack of transparency — it’s a breach of public trust. | |
| The stakes are high: to ensure wild horses are treated humanely, we need roundups that are transparent to the public eye. Click “Take Action” to take action today, to support our work and make sure we all have eyes on these operations. | |
