Dear Wild Horse and Burro Advocate,

The first week of August has made one thing clear: roundup season is not slowing down.

During one operation, our observer watched as a helicopter pursued a group of approximately 10 wild horses for nearly 30 minutes. Among them was a foal estimated to be just one month old. After the group reached the trap site, the tiny foal was seen running up the wings of the trap, alone.

Moments like this are why independent observation is so critical.

Across the West, Wild Horses and Burros continue to face removal from the public lands where they belong. Callaghan remains a major focus, but it is not the only operation moving forward. Moriah, Piceance-East Douglas, West Douglas, Bible Springs, and Confusion are all part of a broader roundup calendar that prioritizes removals instead of fully investing in humane, science-based solutions.

For AWHC, this means we have to keep showing up.

We show up to document what happens in the field and share verified updates with the public. We show up to press agencies and lawmakers for accountability. And we show up to advance humane solutions that can keep wild horses and burros free on the range.

That work is only possible because supporters like you refuse to look away.

The first headlines fade quickly. The work does not.

After a roundup begins, animals still face trauma, separation, transport, and the uncertainty of holding. Public scrutiny still matters. Documentation still matters. Policy pressure still matters.

Every supporter who stays engaged helps make sure these operations do not happen in silence.

AWHC will continue to bear witness. We will continue to demand accountability. We will continue to fight for humane, science-based management.

But we need the resources to keep going.

Please make a gift today to help AWHC sustain this work through August and the roundups still ahead.

With gratitude,
