Jack,

When AWHC allies band together, we can move mountains — or at least make them safer for America’s wild horses and burros. Thank you to 77 members of U.S. Congress from both sides of the aisle who are demanding humane changes to the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program.

In the language submitted, they have requested the following:

*
The
BLM
spends
no
less
than
10%
of
its
budget
on
humane
fertility
control
in
at
least
five
herd
management
areas
(HMAS). *
If
the
BLM
fails
to
implement
acceptable
fertility
control
programs
within
120
days
of
the
bill’s
passing,
it
will
incur
a
$100K
reduction
in
program
funding
per
day
until
it
does
so.



Why accountability matters : This isn’t the first time Congress has directed BLM to spend up to $11 million on humane fertility control programs. Despite this, the BLM continues to round up tens of thousands of wild horses and burros and funnel them into overburdened federal holding facilities.

Jack, our advocacy in the federal government represents some of the most impactful work we do. The support by nearly 80 representatives is a clear indication that Congress shares our frustration with the BLM’s failure to reform its inhumane and unsustainable program We extend a special thank you to Representatives Dina Titus (D-NV), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Steve Cohen (D-TN), and David Schweikert (R-AZ) for leading the bipartisan effort to end BLM’s cruel, costly helicopter roundups.

Additional requests contained in the bipartisan letter:

*

the
use
of
funds
for
ovariectomy
procedures
*
Direct
studies
considering
humane
alternatives
to
helicopters
*
Stop
cash
incentive
payments
for

*
Identify
HMAs
and
Herd

holding
*
Maintain
the
prohibition
on
the
sale
or

of
healthy
wild
horses
and
burros
that
results
in
their
destruction.
