More about the Onaqui Herd and Herd Management:

Unfortunately, these beautiful animals are at risk. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues to round up and remove these animals from our public lands.

The federal government uses costly and cruel practices to eliminate wild horses and burros from our public lands to clear the way for taxpayer-subsidized livestock grazing. Each year, the BLM uses low-flying helicopters to brutally stampede, capture, and remove wild horses and burros by the thousands from Western public lands.

Those that survive roundups are stockpiled in government holding facilities. If they aren't adopted or auctioned off, they are sentenced to a lifetime of being warehoused in long-term holding facilities. At worst, wild horses end up in the slaughter pipeline.

Approximately 80 million taxpayer dollars fund this mismanaged program, annually.
