A dangerous proposal just resurfaced.
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: For the second year in a row, a dangerous provision has reappeared in the President’s budget proposal. If enacted, the FY27 budget language could open the door to outcomes for wild horses and burros that Americans overwhelmingly oppose:
- Allow the transfer of wild horses to foreign countries, including those with active slaughter industries
- Remove the long-standing ban on the killing of healthy wild horses and burros
This is the moment
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation: The first roundups of 2026 have already taken place. Wild horses have been captured. Families broken apart. Operations carried out with little time for the public to respond. And now, a far larger number are still ahead. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to remove 14,830 wild horses and burros this year—many immediately after foaling season, when families are most vulnerable. This is the moment—before those operations escalate—where we can still intervene. Your donation provides AWHC with the resources necessary to fight back. PROTECT WILD HORSES → Because once large-scale roundups begin, they move fast: Helicopters push horses to exhaustion as they chase them for miles, foals struggle to keep up, and horses of all ages lose their freedom forever. That’s why AWHC exists, Meredith. We are: On the Ground: Deploying observers to document roundups and expose the truth In the Courts: Challenging unlawful actions and fighting for stronger protections On the Range: Expanding humane fertility control to prevent future roundups In Washington: Advocating for policy reforms that end this broken system This work is urgent. And it’s happening right now. But it depends on the support of people who refuse to look away. Because what happens next—for this generation of wild horses—is still being decided.
