Congressional hearings play a crucial role in shaping policies that affect wild horses and burros in the United States. These hearings provide a platform for lawmakers to discuss funding and management strategies for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program. They often address critical issues such as the protection of wild horse populations from slaughter and the implementation of humane management practices. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) actively participates in these hearings, advocating for legislation that ensures the welfare of these iconic animals. By mobilizing public support and engaging with congressional representatives, AWHC aims to influence decisions that safeguard the future of America's wild horses.
