President’s 2018 Budget Dooms Wild Horses

The BLM contends that the horses on the range exceed the ridiculously low national AML of 26,700 by over 40,000 animals. There are over 40,000 animals in long and short term holding. 80,000 could be killed if we, the American people do not speak up!

Why?

President’s proposed $10 million cut to the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Budget which includes chilling language:

“The remainder of the funding decrease will be achieved by reducing gathers, reducing birth control treatments, and other activities deemed inconsistent with prudent management of the program. The long-term goal is to realign program costs and animal populations to more manageable levels, enabling BLM to reorient the WHB program back to these traditional management strategies.”

So what is going to happen to the horses to manage their numbers on the range? Watch this video to learn more and what you can do to safe guard all the wild horses on the range and in government holding facilities.

There has never been such a grave a threat to the existence of our wild horses
as right now!
