Why Oppose SJR3?

• SJR 3 supports brutalizing Nevada’s wild horses and burrosand decimating their wild populations so cattle can graze the public lands where they live.
• SJR 3 is against the wishes of 86% of Nevadanswho want to protect and humanely manage wild horses and burros.
• SJR3 supports spending $1 billion or more in taxpayer dollarson the failed approach of roundups instead of long-term solutions like fertility control.
• SJR3 will harm Nevada ecotourism and business developmentbecause few of these iconic animals will be left for visitors and residents to enjoy.
• SJR 3 would lead to slaughterbecause the cost of rounding up and incarcerating so many wild horses and burros would quickly become untenable.

American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) encourages everyone to voice their opposition to SJR3 and support humane managementsolutionsfor wild horses and burros.
