Tell Congress: Reject the FY26’s budget slaughter proposal
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: The President's FY26 Congressional budget request threatens to strip critical protections for wild horses. If enacted fully, this proposal opens the gates for lethal management and a death sentence for tens of thousands of wild horses. ...
We stopped slaughter once. Now we need to do it again.
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: Right now, Congress is considering a budget proposal that could open the door to slaughter for tens of thousands of America’s wild horses and burros. We’ve faced this before in the last Trump Administration. And we won. We pulled out all the stops, including launching a hard-hitting national commercial. It showed lawmakers, and the American public exactly what was at stake: the betrayal of our iconic wild horses and the cruelty of mass slaughter. Watch this commerical below and help fuel our fight The public pressure worked. The previous administration reversed course and removed lethal management from the table. Now, we need your help to do it again. We’re gearing up to fight back on Capitol Hill, in the courts, and in the public arena even harder this time. HELP US FIGHT SLAUGHTER Every dollar helps us keep wild horses safe from the slaughter pipeline. The clock is ticking—please give what you can today. —The AWHC Team ...
You’re Invited: Public Webinar on the Fight to Stop Wild Horse Slaughter – July 2
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: America’s wild horses and burros are facing an existential threat. The President’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget request to Congress would strip away longstanding protections and could open the door to slaughtering up to 62,000 federally protected animals currently in government holding. We can’t let that happen. Join us on Wednesday July 2, 2025 for a critical public webinar hosted by American Wild Horse Conservation, where we’ll break down:
- What the federal budget proposal really means
- Why the risk of slaughter is higher than it’s been in years
- What’s at stake for the future of wild horses and burros
- How we’re fighting back in Congress, the courts, and on the ground
- The actions you can take right now to make a difference
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. READ MORE 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.

Roundups begin in 30 days and this year, the stakes are higher than ever.
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: In less than one month, helicopters will descend on our public lands, chasing terrified wild horses and burros for miles in the blazing summer heat. Foals will be separated from their mothers. Older horses will fall behind. And once captured, these iconic animals face a future behind bars, or worse. The stakes have never been higher. If the Trump Administration’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget request to Congress is included in the final spending bill, it could lift the long-standing ban on wild horse slaughter, opening the door for the mass disposal of up to 64,000 horses and burros currently in holding. But we’re not standing by—we’re fighting back. DONATE NOW At American Wild Horse Conservation, we’re mobilizing every tool we have. We’re engaged in legal challenges to stop inhumane policies. We’re showing Congress that America's wild horses protected, not slaughtered. And we’re expanding humane, science-based solutions, like fertility control, to keep wild horses where they belong: wild and free. Will you take a moment to fuel our fight? RUSH A DONATION We’ve stopped slaughter before. But we need your help to do it again—and fast. Together, we are stronger and we can fight back. Thank you, Suzanne Roy, executive director of AWHC ...
