Federally sanctioned roundups are in full swing as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues to target thousands of wild horses across the West. As we speak, innocent horses and foals on Wyoming's North Lander Complex are the targets of of a grueling, multi-week helicopter roundup which is set to cost taxpayers in excess of $100 million. The trap site, where wild horses and burros are driven at the end of a helicopter chase chase, is the most dangerous part of a roundup — often resulting in severe injury and death. 

Despite public observation of a government operation being guaranteed under the First Amendment, AWHC observers are frequently positioned so far from the trap site that they can't see it at all. 

Over 10,000 wild horses will be rounded up by October. That includes thousands of foals who were born mere weeks before being senselessly chased and captured — sometimes separated from their mothers. AWHC is fighting every day to end costly, inhumane helicopter roundups. But until we can stop them for good, we need to ensure that we hold the BLM accountable for the tax-funded operation the federal government doesn't want you to see. 

We are calling on the BLM to require camera installations on all helicopters and other vehicles used for federally sanctioned roundup operations. Will you join us and help ensure the BLM is held accountable for violations committed during grueling helicopter roundups?

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

We need you to send a message to the Department of the Interior (DOI) Secretary, Deb Haaland, and BLM Director, Tracy Stone-Manning, and call for the installation of cameras on all helicopters and wranglers used for roundup operations. Please personalize and send the email below:
