Congress Is Deciding the Future of Wild Horses—Your Voice Matters
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
In this edition of eNews, we’re breaking down the fast-moving developments in Washington that could decide the fate of America’s wild horses. From budget proposals to public land threats, the stakes have never been higher. But there’s still time to make your voice heard. Here’s what you need to know—and how you can help.
What’s Happening in Washington: The Fight to Protect Wild Horses
There’s a lot happening in Washington right now and if you’re feeling confused, you’re not alone. Between sweeping legislative proposals, President Trump’s budget request, and behind-the-scenes funding decisions in Congress, it can be hard to keep track of what it all means, especially for America’s wild horses and burros. That’s where AWHC comes in. We’re here to break it down and help you understand what’s at stake and how you can make a difference.
Want to take action for wild horses, but don’t know how? Start here
America’s wild horses are woven into the very fabric of our public lands. But in the next few weeks, decisions in Washington could put their fate, and the rangelands they roam, on the line.
In early July, the House of Representatives will begin marking up its annual spending bill. Before that happens, we need a tidal wave of citizen voices on record supporting wild horses. Read on for what you can do
Rooted in the Land: The Wild Legacy of America’s Horses
As threats to wild horses and their habitat continue to rise, it’s worth taking a moment to remember just how deeply these animals are rooted in our culture and Western ecosystems. Wild horses aren’t outsiders—they evolved here. They belong here.
READ ABOUT THEIR NATURAL LEGACY
Thank you for standing with us in this fight,
Team AWHC
The calm before the cruelty…
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Right now, the wild landscape is full of new life as foals are born and taking their first steps on our vast public lands. Unfortunately, this peace won’t last long.

In just three months, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will launch its summer assault on our wild herds — with helicopters set to descend on unsuspecting wild horses, burros, and their foals across the West.
This summer alone, thousands of horses and burros are slated for capture and permanent removal from their homes. By October of this year, the BLM will have rounded up nearly 11,000 wild horses and burros. The majority of the roundups will deploy helicopters, despite the trauma and loss they inflict on wild families.
That’s why AWHC’s Observation Fund needs your urgent support. Our team is preparing now to send photographers and videographers to the first roundups of the season — to document, expose, and advocate against these cruel operations.
Without public eyes on the ground, these helicopter roundups happen in some of the most remote parts of the West — far from scrutiny and accountability. Our observers often stand alone, bearing witness to cruelty that would otherwise go unseen.
Photo Credit: © PhotoAdvocacy
And yet, in the past year, our documentation has moved mountains — drawing national press coverage, prompting bipartisan action in Congress, and mobilizing over 100,000 advocates to demand a ban on dangerous helicopter roundups.
We cannot stop now.
The first major helicopter operation after the foaling season will be in the Wyoming Checkerboard. AWHC has been litigating against the BLM’s actions in Wyoming for 10 years and we’re currently awaiting a critical 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling to decide the fate of these horses.
3,624 wild horses will lose freedom forever.
Untold numbers will be injured or die in the process.
Will you make a gift today to power our observation efforts before the helicopters return?
CHIP IN TO PROTECT OUR WILD FOALS
This is our window to act. With your help, we’ll be ready.
In solidarity,
American Wild Horse Conservation
In less than a month, horses like Badger, Thora and Moki could lose their freedom forever
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
In less than one month, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to conduct a pointless and cruel bait trap removal of approximately 41 wild horses from the famed McCullough Peaks wild horse herd outside of Cody, Wyoming.
Beloved horses like Badger, Moki and the newest addition to the range, Thora – are at risk of losing their freedom and their families forever.

Let us be clear: The McCullough Peaks roundup is unnecessary. Not only does this herd already have a humane fertility control program in place, but it also has a significant aging population in which 60 of the 187 wild horses are over the age of 15! Furthermore, the extreme winter conditions last year resulted in the deaths of 11 of these beautiful animals, and we know it will take more this year.
The nation’s leading equine geneticist, Gus Cothran, has clearly stated that wild horse populations should not fall below 150 animals in order to maintain genetic diversity. This removal could ultimately lead to the destruction of this small herd.
But we’re fighting back. We’re going to amplify our collective voice to ensure it cannot be ignored.
In the coming days, AWHC will unleash an 8-week nationwide pressure advertising campaign to rally the public to save the historic McCullough Peaks herd. We will reach out to the media, set up billboards in strategic locations, launch ads on streaming services nationwide and leverage social media. Additionally, we will produce informational content that enlightens the public about the pointless and cruel nature of the McCullough Peaks roundup.
Time to act is of the essence, so please – stay active and stay ready so that we can ensure the McCullough Peaks wild horses stay wild.

Uncovering the AIP’s horrifying slaughter pipeline
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
Two years ago, our groundbreaking investigation into the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) and the slaughter pipeline it created inspired an explosive exposé on the front page of the New York Times.
The report revealed that this federal cash incentive program was sending “truckloads” of federally protected wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline. The piece sparked massive public outrage and encouraged dozens of members of Congress to speak out calling for the suspension of the disastrous program.
In response, the BLM “reformed” the AIP, but the changes it implemented failed to address the key problem: paying people $1,000 to adopt a wild, unhandled horse or burro. As a result, untamed horses and burros have continued to flood slaughter auctions across the country, overwhelming the rescue groups trying to save them.
Our updated findings reveal that nearly 1,600 wild horses and burros have been found in kill pens since the start of the program – 63% of which AWHC has been able to identify by BLM brand number. Of these identified animals, we’ve confirmed that more than 50% were adopted through the AIP. (That percentage will continue to climb as we receive additional BLM records under the Freedom of Information Act).
Most troubling: groups of related individuals have been conspiring to defraud taxpayers of thousands of dollars by adopting multiple rounds of AIP animals and then sending them to kill pens once the cash incentives clear their bank accounts. In some cases, these nefarious adopters go back just days after being awarded a title to adopt their next round of animals.
Using our investigative findings, we are working through litigation and lobbying to bring an end to this program that has placed so many innocent wild horses and burros at risk of brutal slaughter for human consumption overseas.

eNews: Fascinating new research sheds light on the origins of our beloved burros!
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We’ve got a lot to share with you in this week’s edition of eNews, including an opportunity for you to speak up on behalf of our cherished wild herds, an article discussing groundbreaking new research into the origins of our beloved burros, and AWHC’s exciting new partnership!

Tell Congress: Protect Wild Horses and Burros with the FY24 Spending Bill!
Photo: Tandin Champan
From defunding the Adoption Incentive Program’s cash incentives to implementing humane in-the-wild fertility control vaccines, there are several ways Congress can enact reforms to the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) — and save taxpayers money while doing it. But to enact these policies that protect our cherished wild herds, we need you to speak up. Call on your members of Congress now and request wild horse protections in the FY24 spending bill!
New York Times: At Long Last, a Donkey Family Tree

“I guess that we simply forgot the importance of this animal, probably being blown away by the impact of its close cousin, the horse.” A scientist and director of the Center for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse in France hopes his new study will jump-start research on the donkey and restore some of its dignity. Be sure to check out this fascinating read below!

SPEAK UP: Give Nevada’s wild mustangs the recognition they deserve >>
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
On Tuesday afternoon, the Nevada Senate Committee on Natural Resources heard SB90, a bill to recognize the wild mustang as the official state horse. Like the original wild horse and burro movement in the 1960s, the effort was supported by Nevada’s schoolchildren with over 100 kids showing up to attend the hearing! The students eloquently expressed their support for the wild mustangs who call Nevada home and we are so grateful for their passion.
Unfortunately, the opposition also came out in full force. Nevada ranchers who graze their privately-owned cattle and sheep on public lands used their testimony time to blame horses for range degradation. Each rancher who spoke made the hearing about wild horse management and not about the naming of the state horse. The hearing ended with no vote, as committee members discuss next steps.
We need people from all over the country to speak up about the mustang’s historic importance and the tourism resource they are for the state. Smithsonian Magazine even named Nevada the number one place in North America to see wild horses! As a potential visitor to Nevada, your voice matters, but it will only be heard if you act now!
Call each of the five committee members and ask them to support SB90.
All you need to say is: “Hi, my name is [NAME] and as a tourist who visits Nevada for its wild mustangs, I am calling to ask that Senator [NAME] support SB90 to recognize the wild mustang as Nevada’s state horse. Thank you.
- State Senator Julie Pazina: (775) 684-1462
- State Senator Melanie Scheible: (775) 684-1421
- State Senator Edgar Flores: (775) 684-1431
- State Senator Pete Goicoechea: (775) 684-1447
- State Senator Ira Hansen: (775) 684-1480
Thank you so much for your help. Over the next couple of weeks we will have further actions for you to take. We hope we can count on you!

TAKE ACTION: Protect North Dakota’s only wild horse herd >>
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We have a timely opportunity for you to speak up for the Teddy Roosevelt wild horses of North Dakota!
We just received word that this Friday, March 10, the North Dakota House Agriculture Committee will meet to hear SCR 4014, a state resolution that urges the Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the National Park Service (NPS) to preserve this cherished wild horse herd.
As you likely already know, the NPS is currently considering a management plan that would result in the severe reduction or total eradication of these mustangs and the Longhorn cattle that call the Park home. The Governor has already spoken out against this plan and the legislature is now following suit!
You can provide written and/or in-person testimony that will be considered for the record. (Please note that SCR 4014 does mention livestock grazing, this refers to both the mustangs and the Longhorns — NPS designates them both as livestock). Here’s how you can help:
- Open a Word document and draft your comments/testimony (see our talking points linked below).
- Click here to access the submission form.
- Scroll down to Agenda Items and find 9:00 AM | SCR 4014.
- Click, +Add Testimony.
- For Testimony Provided, select “In support of.”
- Select your preferred option for how you will submit your testimony.
- Finally, select Browse files to upload your Word document or PDF with your comments.
Here are some talking points to get your started, but personalizing your letter is going to be most important. Try answering the question honestly: Why do you want the Teddy Roosevelt wild horses to stay protected in the Park?
Thank you for taking action for North Dakota’s only wild horse herd, Meredith. We’ll keep you posted on the results.

Behind the Scenes: How supporters like you power our lifesaving programs →
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
The donations supporters like you make to our organization power the important work that we are doing day in and day out. We often tell you in these emails that we’re working in the field, in court, and on the Hill to protect wild horses and burros. And we are. Every dollar you donate to the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) is critical to powering our work in each of these areas.
So today, we wanted to share a little insight with you about just how critical every single dollar donated really is to each of our lifesaving programs. For every $1 dollar donated to AWHC, 80 cents goes directly to powering the programs we operate to preserve the freedom of America’s wild herds:
- In-the-Wild Management: Not only do we currently operate the world’s largest fertility control program for wild horses, but this year we are on track to jumpstart several other programs for at-risk herds across the West.
- Government Relations: Your contributions fuel lobbying for the passage of the SAFE Act to stop slaughter, securing funding for humane management to divert funds away from brutal roundups, and working with members of Congress to introduce legislation to secure meaningful protections for wild horses and burros.
- Investigations: Thanks to you, we have been able to bring to light the atrocities occurring as a result of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) and dive into our investigation into holding facility conditions.
- Advocacy: We are bringing the issue of wild horse and burro protection into the mainstream by launching awareness campaigns through billboards, television and digital media, our celebrity ambassador program, and traditional media.
- Rescue: Your generosity allows us to grant funding to rescue organizations in need of support to get mustangs and burros out of kill pens, transport animals to safety, and cover costs of care and treatment.
- And so much more.
And the other 20 cents? That money is invested in the operations that allow us to continue these very programs. Check it out:
Being this transparent doesn’t scare us – it’s exactly why we have a 100% rating from Charity Navigator, are a 5-star Top Nonprofit by Great Nonprofits, and have received the Guidestar Gold Transparency rating. We’re proud of our status as a strong, vibrant, and effective non-profit.
None of this would be possible without our staff, our volunteers, our advocates, and without supporters like you. You make this work possible and we’re proud to fight alongside you to keep our wild horses and burros wild.
Every time you donate, you help our team prove to the BLM, Congress, and the American public that there is a better way to manage our wild horses and burros – whether it be in the field, in court, or on the Hill.
Thank you so much for your support,
Suzanne Roy

Tell the BLM: End the Cash Incentives for Wild Horse and Burro Adoption!
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We’ve got a lot to share with you in this week’s eNews, including: an inside look at a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) adoption event, an opportunity to take action against the diastrous Adoption Incentive Program (AIP), and the latest update on our groundbreaking fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range.

Help End the Cash Incentives for Wild Horse and Burro Adoption
AWHC’s investigative team is continuing to monitor and track the consequences of the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP), which pays individuals $1,000 to adopt a wild, unhandled horse or burro.
In fact, since the start of February, we have identified over 30 BLM-branded wild horses and burros in slaughter auctions across the country. Unfortunately, we know that this is just the tip of the iceberg and many more are shipping directly across the border for slaughter. It’s time to end the cash incentives that are sending hundreds, if not thousands of our beloved wild mustangs and burros into the slaughter pipeline.
Eyewitness Report: BLM Adoption Event in Florida
Last weekend, AWHC volunteer Gail Clifton traveled to Okeechobee, Florida to attend and document a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) adoption event. As part of our ongoing investigation into the agency’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) that is sending droves of mustangs and burros into the slaughter pipeline, we are ensuring the documentation of these events.

Kicking off 2023 on the heels of some major wild horse and burro wins in Washington >>
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
At the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC), we’re committed to securing the safety and freedom of wild horses and burros every way possible – working in the field, in federal court, and on Capitol Hill.
As our team is gearing up for 2023, we wanted to share with you some of the major legislative victories we achieved in 2022! Last year, our government relations team worked tirelessly with U.S. House Natural Resources Committee staff to craft the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act of 2022, which was introduced in October. This historic piece of bipartisan legislation would restore protections for wild horses and burros that have been eroded over the past few decades.
This bill would enact sweeping changes to the way the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) manage our wild herds. This includes putting an end to the disastrous cash incentives that are driving adopted wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline, prioritizing humane methods of population management like fertility control vaccine programs as an alternative to cruel helicopter roundups, and much more.
In addition to the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act, we achieved another huge victory on Capitol Hill by securing language in the Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations bill dedicating up to $11 million in funding specifically for humane fertility control as an alternative to inhumane helicopter roundups.
This proven and safe method of population management allows wild horses to stay in the wild where they belong. Our own PZP fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range has reduced foaling rates by 62%. And hard-hitting data like this has helped us demonstrate to the public, Congress, and the BLM that there is a better way to manage our wild herds.
Thank you!

Help us unlock our biggest Giving Tuesday goal EVER
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
Giving Tuesday is just around the corner — and I’m excited to announce that this year, we’ve set our biggest fundraising goal ever. This Giving Tuesday, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 to have the necessary resources to fuel our work in the field, in courts, and in Congress in 2023.
As one of our most loyal supporters, you know that Giving Tuesday is our most critical fundraising day of the entire year. And, this year is even more significant because a generous donor has offered to matchevery single donation that comes in towards our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal bringing our total possible Giving Tuesday impact to $200,000!!
But, there’s a catch → in order to unlock this very special double match, we need to kickstart our Giving Tuesday fundraising and raise $35,000 before this Sunday at midnight! Will you make a donation right now to help us unlock this critical match and DOUBLE our impact this Giving Tuesday?
So much is at stake in 2023. As I write this, the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) holding facilities are reaching their breaking point. More wild horses and burros are confined in these facilities than ever before. Worse, the BLM’s own reports show widespread animal welfare violations at even the newest holding corrals, leading to disease outbreaks, overcrowding, and worse. Meanwhile, the cost to taxpayers for this program continues to skyrocket as the threat of slaughter for these innocent animals increases.
While these circumstances are dire, the backlash against the BLM’s cruel and costly practices is growing. Mounting public and Congressional opposition is creating a mandate for change and the opportunity to make it happen. We know there is a better way to protect wild horses and burros and keep them in the wild where they belong. We’re proving it with our highly successful fertility control program in Nevada and by building key stakeholder partnerships for humane management of other western herds.
But timing is of the essence — we must act now.
Thanks for your help,
Suzanne Roy
