Earlier this summer, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) prepared a Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) that will affect a small herd of wild horses living in the Four Mile Herd Management Area (HMA) in southwestern Idaho, near the Oregon border.

The Four Mile HMA is comprised of 25,806 acres and the BLM has set an AML of only 37-60 wild horses (roughly one horse on every 430 acres).

The RMP will set land-use policy in the area for the next 10-20 years. Once this document is finalized, the BLM will be able to pull from the options analyzed for future implementation in the Four Mile HMA. Among the management options included for wild horse management, the BLM analyzed surgical spay via colpotomy or tubal ligation, gelding, vasectomy, PZP, GonaCon, skewed sex ratios, and the creation of non-reproducing herds.

We need to encourage the BLM to drop dangerous surgical sterilization procedures, skewed sex ratios, and the creation of non-reproducing herds from the management options in this RMP! TAKE ACTION below!
