The Wild Horse and Burro Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program (PIM 2021-002): A Promise Unfulfilled
Until management practices change, until transparency is enforced, and until deaths after roundups are fully counted and addressed, the Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program remains a promise unfulfilled.
Wild horses and burros deserve more than policy memos.
They deserve to live free, protected, and respected on the lands that are legally theirs.
At the end of the fiscal year, will there be more Wild Horses & Burros in Holding facilities than on the range?
