Take Action! Announcement from American Wild Horse Preservation: Say NO to BLM Wyoming Wild Horse Wipeout - Sign & Share Petition "The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that on August 20th it will begin a massive helicopter roundup of nearly 1,000 wild horses from the Divide Basin, Adobe Town and Salt Wells Creek Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in Wyoming. The action is Step #2 in the agency's plan to wipe out wild horses from two million acres of land known as the Wyoming Checkerboard and turn the public lands in the area over to the Rock Springs Grazing Association (RSGA). The RSGA's members view wild horses as competition for cheap, taxpayer subsidized grazing on our public lands. The BLM is marching to the orders of these ranchers, who want our federally protected wild horses gone from the western landscape. "While we explore legal options to stop this outrageous action, will you please join us in taking a stand against the BLM Wyoming Wild Horse Wipeout? By signing and sharing this petition, you can help us achieve and surpass our 25,000-signature goal!"
