The BLM’s 2017 budget proposal spells disaster for our wild horses and burros. The agency wants to sterilize wild horses on the range, and hand off captured mustangs to state and local governments, while stripping the aimals of the the legal status that currently protects them from being sold for slaughter.
If approved by Congress, the proposed budget language opens the door to mass sterilization and slaughter of captured wild horses and burros. Congress is considering this RIGHT NOW, and we’re mobilizing as never before with a focused lobbying effort, public education campaign and litigation strategy to defeat this devastating plan.
