A total of 1,015 wild horses have been captured and six killed in the Bureau of Land Management’s ongoing helicopter roundup in southwest Wyoming.
The worst may still be yet to come: BLM’s largest-ever roundup is scheduled to drag on for months, into February of next year, with 3,500 wild horses (more than 40 percent of the state’s wild horses) removed from their home ranges at a cost of more than $1.2 million — plus tens of millions more in taxpayer costs for the lifetime care of captured horses in off-range facilities.
The roundup is setting the stage for a plan to zero-out two wild horse Herd Management Areas, manage the herd on a third HMA as non-reproducing, and sharply reduce the number of wild horses on a fourth.
TAKE ACTION: See our homepage (link in profile) to send a message calling for a halt to the Wyoming wild horse wipeout.
