Oppose Roundup of Wild Horses in Idaho's Remote Challis Mountains

  • recipient: Challis Wild Horse Gather Plan Preliminary Environmental Assessment

URGENT ACTION NEEDED   ENDS SEPTEMBER 10TH,2012

Despite receiving over 4,000 public comments urging an alternative action, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is moving ahead with a plan for a helicopter roundup and removal of 140 wild horses living in Idaho's Challis Herd Management Area. The BLM allows just 185 wild horses to live in this 160,000-acre public land area, and estimates the current population to be 322. The roundup will take place sometime between September 15 and November 15, 2012 -- just over three years after the last BLM roundup at Challis killed at least 11 horses, orphaned several foals, and permanently removed 225 horses from their remote mountain home.
