The McCullough Peaks wild horses need your voices!

Join us Monday, Jan. 16, at 8pm EST / 5pm PST for a Zoom meeting to discuss how to submit Public Comments on the Bureau of Land Management's Scoping Letter to remove over half the herd at McCullough Peaks in WY.  

To join the meeting please email: heather@saveourwildhorses.net


We will provide suggested comments and fact source links for your Public Comment on the Scoping Letter to the BLM.   Emotional, angry, or non-relevant Public Comments will be ignored by the Bureau of Land Management and, in fact, may actually hurt our cause.  We must be seen as knowledgeable, mature, and calm advocates. 

After you attend our Zoom meeting on Monday, January 16, you can make your Public Comment here.  Make your voice count!  Check back here often for more information, tips on comments, and links to sources you can use in your Public Comment.

Show your love and support of wild horses with bumper stickers and more!

Check out our new collection of bumper stickers, bumper magnets, and banners - all proceeds are donated to organizations, rescues, and sanctuaries who work hard every day to help save our public lands and wild horses & burros.  A couple examples below with over 20 different ones to choose from here
The only way to ultimately protect our wild horses (mustangs) and burros is if Congress requires the Bureau of Land Management to follow the existing law to protect wild horses & burros, enacts new legislation to further protect herd areas, and either replaces the Bureau of Land Management as the herd caretakers or requires the BLM to use funding for on-range management planning before roundups and PZP use.  Contact your Representative (member of the House) and both Senators today.  Be factual and use the messages below in your letter, email, fax, or phone call:

The Messages:
Protect our wild horses by requiring the Bureau of Land Management to:
  • Create and abide by Herd Management Area Plans (HMAP's) which are required by law
  • To stop the cruel and abusive helicopter roundups by using funding towards on-range management
  • To protect our public lands and wildlife by removing livestock, especially within wild horse and burro herd areas
  • To protect our domestic & wild horses from being shipped to slaughter in the US or over our borders by sponsoring the SAFE Act HR 3355 (House) and S 2732 (Senate) (bill numbers to change in 2023)

We can make a difference 
​but to do that we all need to unite and make our voices heard!

Is there anything else I can do?

YES!!  Please ask as many people as you can to join Save Our Wild Horses!  The more postcards, letters, emails, faxes and phone calls we can do will always help.  We need to let our congressional members, the people who were voted in to office by us, know that the matter of our wild horses is extremely important to the majority of Americans.  If we can get thousands of letters or postcards mailed in, then we will be taken more seriously.  If we can get newspapers and news channels to write articles and air news segments, then more people will get involved and we can make real change!  Find newspaper contacts here: https://jenniferrobin.gallery/news-media-contact/ Are you a teacher or do you know one?  Get classrooms and students involved here!  And please visit wildhorseeducation.org or publichorses.com to learn so much more valuable information regarding our wild horses & burros and public lands.  Another new organization whose founder has years of experience with legal filings against the BLM is Oregon Wild Horse Organization
