Jack,

Recently we asked you to take action and ask your representative to support pro-wild language in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 appropriations legislation. Our records indicate that your representative supported wild horses last year, but has not joined this year in calling for reforms to the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program.

Take Action [[link removed]]

Right now, Representatives Dina Titus (D-NV), Steve Cohen (D-TN), and David Schweikert (R-AZ) are circulating a bipartisan sign-on letter to the Appropriations Committee urging it to support pro-wild horse language in Fiscal Year 2025 appropriations legislation.

This language would hold the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accountable for the implementation of robust, in-the-wild conservation through the use of fertility control, ultimately reducing helicopter roundups. But we need your help. Can you take a moment to urge your representatives to support wild horse and burro conservation in the FY25 appropriations legislation? [[link removed]]

This language will require the BLM to:

- Allocate no less than 10% of the agency’s budget for the implementation of humane fertility control programs in at least five additional Herd Management Areas (HMAs)

- If the BLM fails to do this 120 days after the passage of this bill, it will incur a $100,000 fine per day until it implements acceptable fertility control programs.

- Ensure no funds are used for ovariectomy procedures

- Study humane alternatives to the use of helicopters and manned fixed-wing aircraft

- Stop cash incentive payments for adoptions

- Identify HMAs and Herd Areas that could be redesignated for relocating horses as an alternative to off-range holding

- Continue to prohibit the sale or adoption of healthy wild horses and burros that results in their destruction.

Last year your representative supported pro-wild horse language in the Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bill but they have not signed on again this year. Will you please take a moment to thank them for their past support and urge them to support this year's Fiscal Year 2025 language? [[link removed]]

Thank you for your advocacy,

Team AWHC
