Jack,

Our humane observers recently documented extreme abuse during the Blue Wing Complex wild horse roundup. Our footage shows contractors repeatedly kicking a collapsed wild horse in the head. The horse is one of over 1,700 wild horses and burros targeted for removal from Nevada’s Blue Wing Complex as part of the BLM’s mass summer roundup campaign.

SPEAK UP FOR THE BLUE WING WILD HORSES [[link removed]]

The ongoing Blue Wing Complex roundup has been conducted under punishing conditions, amidst two prolonged heat waves and poor air quality due to wildfires in the area. An astounding 39 horses have so far died during the roundup. The causes of death include:

- Traumatic injuries such as broken necks and blunt-force trauma
- Three animals arriving at the holding corrals dead on the trailer after transport from the roundup site.
- Non-life-threatening conditions like arthritis and clubbed feet for which the BLM routinely euthanizes animals.  

TAKE ACTION AND DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION [[link removed]]

AWHC immediately lept into action and filed a formal complaint regarding this horrific act of violence, calling for immediate investigation into the abuse, which rises to a level of criminal conduct under the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 and is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 one year in jail or both.

Now we need your help. Can you please sign on to our petition calling for the BLM to hold these contractors criminally responsible for the abuse inflicted upon the Blue Wing Complex wild horses? We’ve set an ambitious goal of getting 20,000 signers to show the BLM that this type of treatment is unacceptable. Please sign on now. [[link removed]]

Thank you for your advocacy.

Onward,

Team AWHC
