The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign), along with the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and The Cloud Foundation (TCF), have submitted formal comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) proposed experiments on wild horses. These experiments, deemed inhumane by many, involve invasive procedures that could cause significant harm to the mustangs.

Background on the Proposed Experiments

The BLM's proposal includes a series of experiments aimed at controlling the population of wild horses on public lands. However, these methods have raised ethical concerns due to their invasive nature and potential to cause suffering.

Organizations Taking a Stand

The American Wild Horse Conservation, AWI, and TCF have united to voice their opposition. They argue that these experiments not only threaten the well-being of the horses but also violate ethical standards for animal treatment.

Public and Legal Actions

In addition to submitting comments, these organizations are exploring legal avenues to halt the experiments. They are also engaging the public to raise awareness and gather support for their cause.

"We believe that humane, in-the-wild management of wild horses is not only possible but essential," said a spokesperson from the American Wild Horse Conservation.

The coalition is urging the BLM to consider alternative, non-invasive methods for managing wild horse populations that align with humane treatment standards.
