PZP Sign-on: A Step Towards Humane Wild Horse Management
The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) is dedicated to the humane, in-the-wild management of wild horses and burros on public lands. One of the key strategies in achieving this goal is the use of PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida), a fertility control vaccine that helps manage wild horse populations without resorting to harmful roundups or removals.
PZP is a scientifically proven, humane, and cost-effective method of population control. It works by preventing pregnancy in mares, thereby helping to maintain a sustainable population size. This approach not only preserves the natural behaviors and social structures of wild horse herds but also reduces the need for costly and traumatic roundups.
By signing on to support the use of PZP, you are joining a growing movement of individuals and organizations committed to protecting America's wild horses and burros. Your support helps ensure these iconic animals continue to roam free on our public lands, as nature intended.
