New Action Alert!
(June 2025)
Protect Wild Horses and Burros!
Brief Summary of the Humane World for Animals Action Alert:
The Administration’s proposed budget could lead to the death of thousands of wild horses and burros.
We need your help with this!
Please consider politely contacting your federal representatives today to protect these beloved and majestic animals by submitting the Action Alert linked below.
For years, we have advocated for the protection and humane management of our country’s wild horses and burro populations.
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2026 removes such protections.
Our wild horses and burros deserve every chance to live their lives wild and free.
