Horse advocates with the American Wild Horse Campaign are urging animal lovers to call their 2 US Senators & their members of Congress NOW to say: NO on the Chris Stewart Amendment to the 2018 appropriations bill!

This would be a disaster for America’s wild horses! Call 202 224-3121 NOW!

We need to protect wild horses on the range, not round them up or kill them. Critics denounce what they describe as a “secret summit” on the wild horse issue that excluded wild horse advocates while government officials talked in what critics called an anti-horse echo chamber. Call NOW!

From American Wild Horse Campaign, July 18, 2021:

Jn sadness and with relief, AWHC spokesperson KIMERLEE CURYL PHOTOGRAPHY is reporting that the Onaqui roundup is over. 90 horses were brought in this morning in one run, with no deaths reported today. This brings the total removed to 434 with one death -- a young mare who suffered a severely broken leg from what was likely a kick sustained in the chaos of the trap. The removal number exceeds the BLM's roundup target of approximately 400 horses.

The "excess" horses are being taken to the holding corrals for genetic testing and will be released with the other 100 captured horses who will be selected for return to the range. Special thanks to Kimerlee for witnessing this operation; we know her heart is broken at the loss of so many horses. And huge appreciation to the Onaqui Catalogue fo the grueling and extremely difficult work at the trap identifying the horses coming in. This work not only documents the horses who have come off the range and will assist in placing these cherished animals, but also will assist the BLM in making the best decisions possible about which horses to return based on thoughtful criteria including keeping family bands together.

Let's keep raising our voices and doing the work necessary to make this the last roundup that ever takes place in the Onaqui Mountains.
