Friend, wild horses and burros are at risk of being sent to slaughter or of being outright killed, and we need your help to stop it!

President Trump’s budget request attempts to remove longstanding protective language that prohibits the outright killing or sale for slaughter of healthy wild horses and burros. For years, we have advocated for the protection and humane treatment of our country’s wild horses and burros, and because of our work, Congress has included language in their annual federal funding bills to prevent the killing of wild horse and burro populations. But if Congress adopts this administration’s budget request, those protections could be wiped out.

We can’t let that happen. Please act now and ask your members of Congress to ensure wild horses and burros are protected from being killed or sold to slaughter in the Fiscal Year 2027 Interior Appropriations funding package.

Tens of thousands of wild horses and burros are seriously at risk, and we must do everything we can to protect them from being killed or sent to slaughter because they deserve every chance to live out their lives wild and free. If population management requires interventions, we must do everything possible to ensure those actions are in the best interest of the animals. Please, tell your federal legislators to protect our nation’s wild horses and burros!

Thank you for acting to end animal cruelty!
