Jack,

This week’s E-news is full of actions you can take to protect wild horses, updates on a recently introduced bill that could put more mustangs and burros in danger of slaughter, and a touching tribute to the well-lived life of American Wild Horse Conservation board member, Dr. Joan DeVanzo.

Two Actions You Can Take for Wild Horses Right Now:

As roundup season is set to begin in less than 30 days, it’s essential to speak up for our beloved wild herds. Below are two actions you can take to help protect the Little Book Cliffs Herd and the North Lander mustangs!

1. Protect the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horses: [[link removed]]
Have you taken action for the Little Book Cliffs wild horses? If not, now’s the time to do so! There are only four days to add your name to AWHC’s public comments calling for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to collaborate with local groups, like Friends of the Mustangs, to expand the Little Book Cliffs humane in-the-wild fertility control programs rather than round up this historic herd. Take action for the Little Book Cliffs Herd! [[link removed]]

2. Speak up for the North Lander Wild Horses: [[link removed]]
Wyoming's North Lander Complex wild horses need your help! In just a few weeks, the BLM is set to begin the largest wild horse roundup of the summer season, removing over 2,700 North Lander wild horses from the wild and returning up to 40. Even worse, the BLM has left the door open to castrating up to 95% of the returned stallions as well as the implementation of unproven Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) in returned mares and the widespread use of the unstudied vaccine Gonacon. Call on the BLM to abandon its use of permanent sterilization in the North Lander herd!

New Bill Could Put More Wild Horses in Danger of Slaughter:

A recently introduced bill, H.R.8541 – the Wild Horse Integrity and Slaughter Prevention Act, would reduce the title waiting period to 6 months, from one year. This increases the risk of abuse and/or the likelihood that the adopter will resell or “flip” their mustang or burro for profit.

Remembering Dr. Joan DeVanzo, AWHC's board member:

Earlier this year, Joan, AWHC’s esteemed member of our Board of Directors, passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. AWHC’s executive director attended her Celebration of Life last month. For two hours, more than 100 of Joan’s friends, family, and colleagues gathered to honor her memory and celebrate her many accomplishments.
