The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: Yesterday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) launched another brutal helicopter roundup in Utah’s Canyonlands Herd Management Area (HMA), targeting at least 100 wild burros. This inhumane operation will terrorize these animals — potentially chasing them for miles across rugged terrain, separating mothers from their young, and condemning many to a lifetime in captivity. Our team is on the ground documenting this inhumane roundup. Will you chip in to help keep us in the field and continue our work to end these roundups once and for all? Chip in to #HaltTheHelicopters Photo by Steve Paige. Roundups don’t just rip families apart — they are deadly, especially for our most vulnerable wild ones. Burros are especially vulnerable to the stress of helicopter roundups. Unlike mustangs, who run from the helicopters, the stoic burros often stand their ground and have to be roped by wranglers on horseback. Weak and elderly animals are in danger of collapse from exhaustion. The Canyonlands roundup is yet another costly, taxpayer-funded assault on our nation’s wild herds, despite proven, humane alternatives. The stakes are high right now. A donation of $10, $25 or whatever makes sense right now will make a HUGE difference for our wild burros. Your donation will help us: Mobilize opposition to this and future helicopter roundups. Fund legal action to hold the BLM accountable. Expand humane, science-based fertility control programs to keep our iconic herds wild and free. The Canyonlands burros don’t have a voice — but you do. Will you stand with them today? Donate Now For the wild, Team AWHC ...

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: March 1st is almost here, and with it comes a powerful opportunity to take a stand for America’s wild horses. On National Horse Protection Day, we’re rallying advocates like you to send a loud and clear message: helicopter roundups must end. Download the graphic below and share it to your social media networks to spread the word! Be sure to tag @freewildhorses on Facebook, X and Instagram! Right now, more wild horses are warehoused in government holding pens than roaming free on public lands. Families are torn apart, foals are pushed to the brink of death, and taxpayers are footing a $150 million bill for this cruelty — despite the existence of humane, cost-effective alternatives. We can change this, but we need you with us. Will you be part of our National Day of Action on March 1? TAKE ACTION There are three main ways you can help: Sign the petition to demand an end to brutal helicopter roundups. Use #HaltTheHelicopters and #NationalHorseProtectionDay on social media to raise awareness. Contact your members of Congress to support humane management of America’s wild herds. So what do you say? Will you join us for our National Day of Action next Saturday and amplify our collective voice as we demand protections for our wild herds? TAKE ACTION Finally, don’t forget to forward this email to your friends and family to encourage THEM to take action for our iconic wild herds. Thank you!

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: Greetings, The fight to protect America’s wild horses is at a critical moment. On March 18, our legal team, led by Eubanks and Associates, will present oral arguments before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals at the United States Courthouse in Denver. This case is vital — not just for the Wyoming wild horses we’re fighting for, but for every other herd across the West. Standing up for wild herds in the courtroom is one of the foremost ways we can fight for their wellbeing and hold the federal government accountable. Will you chip in to support our legal fund? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND This fight is part of a decades-long battle we’ve fought to protect over 2 million acres in the southwestern area of the state known as the “Wyoming Checkerboard” from the demands of organizations like the Rock Springs Grazing Association (RSGA), which wants to eradicate the wild horses that live there. Clearly, we’re up against very powerful interests who view wild horses as competitors to their private livestock on our public lands. A huge legal principle continues to be at stake: Will private interests be allowed to dictate the use of public lands and decide whether our federally protected wild horses and burros can live on them? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND But our legal advocacy doesn't end there. We also filed a lawsuit against the implementation of the Adoption Incentive Program, which continues to funnel hundreds of wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline every year. We are waiting for a decision from the judge on this case. We will continue to hold the BLM accountable through legal actions and strategic litigation. Litigation is one of our most powerful tools to protect wild horses, but it’s also one of the most costly. Your support makes these legal battles possible. Will you stand with us? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND Thank you for following along in our fight to protect wild horses and burros across the American West. Our success depends on the support of advocates like you. Forward with hope and gratitude, Team AWHC ...
