The Bureau of Land Management planned to subject a herd of Nevada wild horses to a terrifying and ultimately deadly roundup. The world-famous Fish Springs wild horses needed your help right away, and you came through for them! This herd may have been saved, but many more are at grave risk of cruel and costly roundup and slaughter. Please sign our alert to encourage the U.S. Department of the Interior to save all wild horses and burros!

The small Fish Springs wild horse herd near Gardnerville, NV, has been called a “shining example” of successful herd management by the regional BLM’s own wild horse & burro advisory board representative, owing to a partnership between the local BLM, animal advocates, and the community.

But the flourishing Fish Springs herd is problematic to the BLM, since it proves that fertility control can be managed successfully without animal cruelty, and at no cost to taxpayers. By contrast, the BLM’s plans to remove the Fish Springs wild horses from their homes would have ultimately cost taxpayers $1.5 million!

Upper-level BLM management in Washington DC and the U.S. Department of the Interior wanted to destroy this herd, but changed their course of action thanks to calls from In Defense of Animals supporters and other animal activists. Many wild horses who get rounded up and put into holding facilities end up being shipped to slaughter. You helped to stop this cruelty.

Act now to ensure that horses are never subjected to cruel and costly roundups ever again!
