Urge BLM to Reduce Helicopter Use and Enhance Humane Standards for Wild Horses

The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) is calling on supporters to urge the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to minimize the use of helicopters in wild horse management and to improve humane standards. The use of helicopters can be stressful and harmful to these majestic animals, and there is a pressing need for more humane and effective management practices.

Helicopter roundups often lead to injuries and fatalities among wild horses, raising significant concerns about animal welfare. The American Wild Horse Conservation advocates for alternative methods that prioritize the safety and well-being of wild horses on public lands.

Why Helicopter Use is Problematic

Helicopter roundups are not only traumatic for the horses but also costly and inefficient. These operations can cause panic, leading to injuries such as broken legs or even death. The stress induced by helicopter chases can have long-term effects on the health and behavior of wild horses.

Call to Action

We urge you to join us in advocating for change. By contacting the BLM and expressing your concerns, you can help push for policies that reduce helicopter use and implement more humane management practices. Together, we can make a difference for America's wild horses.
