We’ve got a lot to share with you in this week’s edition of eNews, including an action you can take to protect wild horses and burros on Capitol Hill, and our latest updates from the concluded roundups in Nevada and Oregon.

Pass the SAFE Act, Stop Horse Slaughter

Each year, tens of thousands of American horses — both wild and domestic — are brutally slaughtered in Canada and Mexico for human consumption in foreign countries. These horses suffer long journeys without adequate food, water, or rest to slaughter plants where they are sent to meet a horrific and terrifying end.

Please take one moment to urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act (H.R. 3475/S. 2307) to permanently ban the slaughter of equines for human consumption and to ban the export of equines to foreign countries for slaughter.

Deadly Wild Horse Roundups in Nevada End

This week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the conclusion of two controversial large-scale capture operations in eastern Nevada, which sadly resulted in the tragic deaths of 39 federally-protected wild horses and the removal of more than 3,000. Read our press release here.

Oregon Roundups Conclude

The roundps of the wild horses from three of Oregon’s Herd Management Areas (HMA) have officially concluded. More than 190 mustangs in Palomino Butte lost their freedom, 63 were removed from their habitat from Stinkingwater, and 38 mustangs were captured from Hog Creek. AWHC’s observer was on the ground to bring you the latest. Read our summary report here.

Thanks for reading. And thank you for continuing to stand up for our cherished wild horses and burros!
