This is the place to lobby for animals, speak out against cruelty and discuss the latest news and petitions. With enough support we can educate others and give a voice to animals who can't speak for themselves.

Please Send An E-mail To Help Wild Horses
Public Comment Ends Friday Feb. 12
Our voices are making a difference for America's wild horses, but now
is the time to keep up the pressure. In the last two months,
after receiving well over ten thousand public comments in opposition,
the BLM has postponed two scheduled wild horse roundups in Utah's
Confusion Mountains Complex and eastern Nevada's Eagle Herd Management
Area.
The agency even admitted that the tremendous public opposition to the
roundups influenced its decisions. Read article here.

As a result of your emails, 700 free-living mustangs have gotten a
reprieve from the BLM's brutal roundups, like the helicopter stampede
in the Calico Mountains Complex that has cost 39 horses their lives so
far and another 20-30 pregnant mares to spontaneously abort.
Now we need you to act again to oppose the massive removal of 1,506
wild horse in the Antelope Complex located in northeastern Nevada.
This proposed removal of approximately 75 percent of the horses would
leave behind only 471 horses in the vast 1.3 million acre public lands
complex! It's hard to believe, but the BLM is actually claiming that
the 1.3 MILLION acres, consisting of four herd management areas
(HMAs), can only support 471 to 788 horses.
This Antelope Complex roundup is currently scheduled to take place
this summer or fall. The BLM's Elko and Ely District Offices are
seeking public input for the preparation of a preliminary
environmental assessment (EA). This is our chance to oppose and
highlight that the BLM's determination of the "appropriate management
level" (AML) for wild horses is flawed and must be revised before
proceeding with yet another ill-conceived roundup and removal of wild
horses.
