Help oppose the Obama Administration’s proposal of the removal of wild horses and burros to the Moriah Herd Area in eastern Nevada – while allowing privately “owned” cattle and sheep to continue to graze in the same areas they claim the horses are overusing.
By eliminating all wild horses from this area, which was specifically designated as habitat for wild horses in 1971, the BLM is continuing a “zeroing out” process that has taken away nearly 20 million acres of wild horse and burro habitat over the past four decades. President Obama is continuing the Bush Administration policy of zeroing out wild horses to benefit private industries – such as livestock ranchers and others who profit from our public lands.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar continues business-as-usual to benefit private industries over what is best for public lands and wildlife. Please click here to send a message of opposition to the Obama Administration. Public comments must be in by June 18.
