BLM Planning Invasive Mare Sterilization Surgeries Again!

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is once again planning to conduct invasive sterilization surgeries on wild mares. This controversial decision has sparked significant concern among wild horse advocates and conservationists. The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) is at the forefront of efforts to protect these majestic animals from such invasive procedures.

In recent years, the BLM has faced criticism for its management practices concerning wild horse populations. The proposed sterilization surgeries are seen as a drastic measure that could have severe implications for the health and well-being of these animals.

Advocates argue that there are more humane and effective methods for managing wild horse populations, such as fertility control vaccines. These alternatives not only preserve the natural behaviors of the horses but also maintain the genetic diversity of the herds.

The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) continues to campaign against these invasive procedures, urging the BLM to reconsider its approach and adopt more humane management practices.
