Protect Wild Horses from Brutal Helicopter Roundups

The Bureau of Land Management is tasked with managing the vast majority of our nation’s federally protected wild horses and burros. For decades, the agency has used a brutal method to limit the number of wild horses allowed to roam free on the range. Using low-flying helicopters, federal contractors chase panicked horses into trap pens—rounding them up so they can be kept in holding facilities for the rest of their lives. These chaotic operations often result in injuries and fatalities, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Urge your representative to cosponsor the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act (H.R. 4356), which would phase out these helicopter roundups over a two-year period.
