Alert: Wyoming Wild Horses to be Zeroed Out by BLM

Posted by on June 3, 2013

OPPOSE BLM PLAN TO WIPE OUT WILD HORSES FROM WYOMING CHECKERBOARD

This week marks a crucial moment for America’s wild horses.

On Wednesday, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is going to release its report on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program. The new Interior Secretary, Sally Jewell, has said that she’s waiting for this report to decide how the program should be handled going forward.

The BLM isn’t waiting around for this report to drop though. In fact, the agency is moving forward with a devastating roundup in Wyoming’s Adobe Town/Salt Wells Complex, as step one in a diabolical plan to eliminate wild horses from two million acres of land in the southern part of the state.

The deadline on the public comment period for this plan is closing fast, so before it’s too late, tell the BLM to make room for mustangs in Wyoming!

We will have more news for you later in the week about the NAS report and its implications for our wild horses and burros. We have been concerned about this panel from day one, and after Wednesday the fight may really be on for the future of wild horses across the West.

For now, please be sure to make your voice heard on behalf of Wyoming’s beautiful Adobe Town and Salt Wells Creek wild horses.
