Urge the Secretary Haaland: Adopt 3 Key Principles for the Wild Horse & Burro Program

This is our time! This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the 1971 Wild, Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

We must push and push to get the change that is so desperately needed. Over the last 50 years, the government has lost its way in managing America's beloved wild horses and burros. To ensure the Wild Horse and Burro program is fair and humane, we are calling on the Interior Secretary Haaland to adopt three guiding principles for the management of America's beloved Wild Horses & Burros:

(1) protect the "Wild" in wild horses and burros;

(2) ensure wild horses and burros get their fair share on our public lands; and

(3) fix the woefully inadequate “humane” standards for management actions.

When implemented, these overarching guidelines will restore the original protections that Americans called for and that Congress intended for wild horses and burros in the original 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

Please submit your comments to Interior Secretary Haaland and the Acting BLM Director Nada Culver.

Please Help! 50th Anniversary of 1971 Wild Horses & Burros Act

Dear Secretary Haaland and Acting Director Culver,

Personalize your message

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the 1971 Wild, Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, which was unanimously passed by Congress. Yet, over the past 50 years, America’s iconic wild horses and burros have suffered much, including the elimination of approximately 40% of the original habitat designated for their use. Over 53,000 once-wild horses and burros currently languish in government holding facilities. To make matters worse, federal agencies are pushing to ramp up roundups and are pushing fertility control that will kill the “wild” in wild horses.

Opinion polls show that Americans – Republicans & Democrats alike – want our magnificent wild horses and burros protected. We, the People, call on you to ensure the following three principles are followed in all government management actions:
(1)	Protect the “wild”natural behaviors in wild horses and burros;
(2)	Give wild horses and burros their fair share of our public lands through win-win projects; and
(3)	Fix the woefully inadequate “humane” standards for management actions.

America’s wild horses and burros have steadily been losing ground over the past 50 years. To mark the 50th Anniversary of the Wild Horse Act, we implore you to work with The Cloud Foundation to restore the original protections set out in 1971 for these iconic animals … before it’s too late.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely, [Your information here]
