From the site:
“NBC’s Today Show recently aired a segment titled “Wild But
Not Free,” exposing the failure of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to
effectively and humanely manage America’s wild horse and burro populations. In
the coverage, music legend Carole King speaks out on behalf of wild horses, as
does a former BLM employee who managed wild horses for 30 years. A rancher who uses public lands is also
interviewed and questions the value of horses stockpiled in BLM holding pens,
saying “Let ‘em go to slaughterhouses.”
Footage provided by IDA’s coalition partner, the American
Wild Horse Preservation Campaign and other coalition members, captures the
brutality of helicopter roundups conducted by the BLM. During these “gathers,”
horses are stampeded and chased until they’re too exhausted to run, resulting
in many horrific injuries and deaths. Family bands are heartlessly torn apart,
never to see each other again.”
