This is the wild stallion, Elvis.
In 2024, the BLM is firing up their helicopters to chase and remove nearly 21,000 wild horses and burros from public lands in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, California, Oregon, and Arizona.

There are no plans to remove the privately owned cattle and sheep that graze on public lands, outnumbering wild horses 30 to 1.

The wild stallion Elvis lives peacefully with his family in Wyoming’s North Lander herd management area. The BLM plans to round up 2806 Mustangs in North Lander, and Elvis is in the crosshairs. Just 40 horses will be returned to the range, but not before the mares are sterilized, and 95 percent of the stallions will be castrated.

Also, in Wyoming, the BLM plans to zero out the herds in Adobe Town, Great Divide Basin, and Salt Wells Creek. A combined area of 2.4 million acres where wild horses will be a distant memory. The privately owned livestock will remain. This is the future of public lands for your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

But- there IS hope. It comes in the form of your singular voice. There is no stopping the power of millions of singular voices.

Please call the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask your elected officials to ensure that wild horses and burros are given their rightful federal protections and to stop the cruel helicopter roundups before it’s too late.

It’s ‘grassroots’ versus ‘suits.’ Be part of the change. Wild horses need our voices now more than ever.
