Trump Administration Moves to Slaughter America’s Wild Horses – Take Action Now!

Wild horse advocates’ biggest fear is coming true.On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) released its seeking Congressional authorization to allow the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to use “management tools,” including the mass killing and slaughter of America’s federally-protectedwild horses and burros.

These majestic animals are an integral part of our national identity, a symbol of freedom and the spirit of the true West. They range today on the North American lands where the horse, as a species, was born and evolved. Thewild horseis our horse, both culturally and genetically. They belong on ourpublic lands, along with the wolf and bison.

Now, theDOIandBLMwant in excess of 100,000 innocent mustangs and burros to pay the price for the agency’s fiscal recklessness and woeful mismanagement. But the American people will not stand for this. Killing America’swild mustangsor selling them forbrutal slaughterin foreign countries would be the ultimate betrayal of these iconic and historic animals whose ancestors helped build this country.

Decades of Mismanagement

If there is a crisis, it’s the fault of theBLM.For years, the agency has stubbornly continued the unsustainable and inhumane cycle ofroundups and removalsof wild horses and burros from the range, refusing to utilize scientifically-proven and long-availablePZP fertility controland failing to adequatelyreduce livestock grazingdespite the fact that livestock vastly outnumber wild horses 47 to 1.

We cannot let the BLM kill its way out of the problem it has created.

The Fight Ahead

We knew this fight was coming, and now it’s here. The freedom and lives of tens of thousands ofwild horses and burrosare on the line. We’re ready to stand up to theBLMandCongressand tell them that killing and slaughtering these majestic animals is unacceptable to the American public.

Join us in this fight, andplease take action today.
