Jack,
In case you missed it, last month the American Wild Horse Conservation’s investigations team unveiled records obtained from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. These records revealed a deeply disturbing trend at the Indian Lakes Off-Range Corral in Nevada.
In 2023 alone, 267 wild horses died in captivity at this federal holding facility. These deaths — many of them unexplained — represent a staggering 9% mortality rate for just one year.
HELP US CONTINUE RAISING AWARENESS [[link removed]]
Here’s some of what our team uncovered through the FOIA records:
— 30 horses were euthanized by the BLM for non-life-threatening conditions such as eye abnormalities.
— 49 horses died from traumatic injuries resulting in broken bones.
—More than 100 horses were “found dead in their pens” for reasons described as “Unknown/Undiagnosed.”
Jack, our commitment to changing the BLM’s inhumane treatment of wild horses and burros doesn't end with just uncovering the truth. So, we took our findings to the media because if we know one thing, it's that Americans are outraged and want to take action when they learn what’s happening to our wild horses and burros.
Based on AWHC’s findings, both the Las Vegas Sun and 8NewsNow published articles exposing the dark side of the Fallon holding facility. Thanks to our awareness-building media outreach, we are driving real policy change and governmental accountability.

In fact, Representative Dina Titus said it be best in the Las Vegas Sun article:
“This is completely unacceptable treatment of these icons of the West, and I remain committed to ending the mass captivity of wild horses in Nevada.”
