Jack,

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently concluded the Robert’s Mountain Complex wild horse roundup in Nevada. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) deployed humane observers to bear witness to and document every single day of this heartbreaking operation, reporting back what would otherwise go unseen.

Jack, this roundup was a hard one to witness. In a little over two weeks, 858 wild horses were captured, and 10 horses were left dead.

Tragically, a wild stallion, in a desperate attempt to reclaim his freedom, vaulted from the trap, only to become ensnared in the fence panels and suffer a broken leg. Although he achieved a fleeting moment of freedom, the cost was his very existence; after being recaptured, and to due his severe injury, he was euthanized.

Just one day later, a semi-truck carrying 39 recently captured wild horses from the roundup flipped onto its side while transporting the horses to a holding facility. As a result, seven horses died, three in the accident and four more were euthanized due to their injuries.

This is unacceptable, Jack. We know all too well that this is not the first time that wild horses have died during government operations, and sadly, it won’t be the last. AWHC is working to document these tragic deaths, expose the reality of roundups, and take the information to the media and Congress – but we need your help. Can you chip in to help us continue our work bringing light to these brutal practices? [[link removed]]

Our photos and footage from the Robert’s Mountain roundup have been seen by more than 400,000 people on social media and we worked to get a piece in the Las Vegas Sun exposing what was happening to these wild horses during this operation.

We also mobilized advocates to take action, including calling for cameras on helicopters and all wranglers. This resulted in over 24,000 messages being sent to the BLM and Congress calling for transparency and accountability.

Every step of the way, the American Wild Horse campaign is working to hold the BLM accountable for its treatment of wild horses and burros during these roundups.

Today, we’re asking you to please continue to support the critical work that the AWHC does. From documenting roundups to sharing the atrocities, to mobilizing and advocating for change – your support helps fuel our efforts. Can you please make a donation to help us continue? [[link removed]]
