Wild Mustang/Burro Campaigns

The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: Brutal and inhumane roundups. Mismanagement of habitat. A lifetime in pens. The threat of slaughter looming. These are the challenges wild horses and burros are facing. And they’re only escalating. But together, we’ve made critical steps forward. Both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations just passed legislation to maintain protections for wild horses from slaughter. Now we need to fight to ensure both sides of Congress protect wild horses and burros in the final spending bill. That means our lobbyists are hitting the ground running. We must do all we can to give our team the resources they need to keep these majestic creatures safe and healthy on our public lands. It’s why your support is vitally important today. DONATE Wild horses and burros are a symbol of freedom and the spirit of America. If you knew your support today could safeguard their legacy, how far would you go?

The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: ADVOCACY WIN ANNOUNCEMENT: You helped push Congress to protect wild horses and burros. Will you chip in today to keep the momentum going? Thanks to your advocacy, the House Appropriations Committee has taken a powerful stand to protect America’s wild horses and burros. We wanted to share this important update with you — so you can celebrate this hard-won victory and help us gear up for the next phase of the fight to protect America’s wild horses from slaughter. WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE: The President’s proposed budget for next year would have made it easier for wild horses to be sent to slaughter, taken away key protections that have kept them safe for years, and cut funding for their care by 25%. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY: The House Appropriations Committee pushed back hard against the budget proposal. They restored the ban on killing healthy wild horses or selling them for slaughter, stopped a dangerous plan that could have allowed horses to be funneled to slaughter through third parties, and made sure funding for their protection stayed in place. They also demanded stricter oversight from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). We are especially grateful to Representatives Juan Ciscomani and Mark Pocan for their leadership on the Appropriations Committee to ensure wild horses and burros are protected from slaughter and that humane management is prioritized in the final bill. WHAT COMES NEXT: The fight isn’t over yet. The bill still needs to pass the full House, clear the Senate, and undergo final negotiations. We’re working closely with allies in Congress to keep the pressure on — and to make sure wild horses are protected not just in name, but in practice. These victories only happen when we raise our voices together — and when we have the resources to keep showing up on Capitol Hill. Together, we can push for a future where these iconic animals roam free, not disappear into holding pens or slaughter pipelines. Will you donate now to help us keep up the fight? DONATE $50 DONATE $100 DONATE $250 DONATE $500 Today’s win marks one of the strongest Congressional rebukes of the BLM’s mismanagement to date,  and it happened because voices like yours spoke up — thank you for being with us in this fight.

The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: After 14 years of legal battles, we’ve achieved an important milestone: The U.S. Court of Appeals just ruled that the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) plan to eradicate wild horses from more than 2 million acres of public lands in Wyoming was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. This would be the largest attempted wild horse eradication in U.S. history — and thanks to our litigation, it’s been reined in.  But this isn’t a slam dunk. While the court decision is a powerful check on the BLM’s overreach, the appellate court sent the case back to the lower court, and the agency could try to remedy the legal violations and attempt to remove all the Checkerboard horses again.  This means the fight isn’t over. The wild horses of the Salt Wells Creek, Adobe Town and Great Divide Basin Herd Management areas need us to be ready to continue advocating for them. Photo by Kimerlee Curyl FUEL OUR LITIGATION We must hold the government accountable — in every place it’s putting our wild herds at risk. That means continuing to invest in expert legal work, strategic advocacy, and grassroots organizing. Your support is what makes this possible. If you are able to today, please make a donation to fuel the ongoing legal fight for Wyoming’s wild horses and wild horses and burros across the West. DONATE NOW This court ruling affirms what we’ve long said: the BLM is breaking the law. Now it’s on us to make sure they stop. Join us, and together, we can make a difference for our wild herds.
