Our wild horses are being rounded up and their population decimated on our public lands by a government agency who was appointed to protect them. Time and time again this agency has caved to special interests, destroying our public lands with mining, privately owned livestock, gas and oil.
Our wild horses are chased for miles with helicopters; many horses are breaking their legs during the chase, and many others are shot and killed for not being considered a perfect horse. Once rounded up the wild horse family bands are separated, with stallions shipped to one holding facility and mares & foals shipped to another. They call out to each other while the livestock trailers they are forced into drive off in different directions.
Most of our captured wild horses live out their lives in holding pens and feedlots with no room to run. The government does not consider 100,000 acres suitable for 500 horses, but they will put 4000 horses on 100 acres in holding pens.
The government says there are too many wild horses. Yet when the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse & Burro Act of 1971 was signed, they considered 26,000 to be too few horses. Today they plan to reduce them to under 16,000
We are asking Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to meet with us. We have invited the past BLM to join us during the Save Americas Wild Horses Conference's. Both the Secretary and the Director have ignored all efforts by advocates to join us. We did get a meeting with a staff member with the past Director of the BLM. We presented the reccomendations but no action was taken.
We are asking again to have real conversations about the issues facing our public lands, wildlife, and wild horses and buros in the American west. To this date he has only met with large corporate and ranching interests.
Please help us be signing this petition asking both of them to meet with the advocates who only want what is best for our wild horses and public lands.
