Humane Solutions for Sustainable Wild Horse Populations
Fertility control is a humane, effective, and scientifically proven method to manage wild horse and burro populations. By implementing fertility control programs, we can reduce the need for brutal roundups and ensure that these majestic animals continue to thrive in their natural habitats. Discover how fertility control is transforming wild horse conservation.
Learn why fertility control is crucial for the humane and effective management of wild horse and burro populations.
Traditional methods of federal management, such as helicopter roundups, are inhumane and cause significant stress and injury to wild horses. Fertility control offers a non-invasive alternative that reduces the need for these traumatic practices.
Roundups and holding facilities are expensive and drain public resources. Fertility control is a cost-effective solution that saves taxpayer money while ensuring the well-being of wild horses and burros.
The PZP fertility control vaccine is backed by over 30 years of scientific research and has been proven to be safe and effective. This method preserves natural behaviors and ensures that wild horses can continue to live freely without the threat of inhumane interventions.
