Advocates are victims of triple deception.
Congress allocates tax dollars the the BLM and Forest Service to manage Wild Horses and Burros.
Wild Horse Advocate Groups collect donations and litigate the BLM and FS to correct bad management of the animals.
Advocates donate an additional amount to rescue and 'bail' animals from the slaughter pipeline.
Wild Horse Advocate Community is paying for BOTH the PROSECUTION lawyers in and DEFENSE (government) legal fees --- ALL coming out of the WHAC pockets.

What can Wild Horse Advocates do to truly change outcomes for Wild Horses?
Taxpayers have ALREADY paid to manage Wild Horses and Burros. Why should they have to pay a SECOND or THIRD time to litigate to force the government to do it without destroying the animals?
Congress has no idea they are being lied to. The Wild Horse Advocate Community (WHAC) has to be the one to raise the RED FLAG.
Spring 2025 will likely produce a FARM BILL. These are opportunities at Intercepting the allocation to the Department of Interior.
The BLM funding request is based on manipulated date, fraud and pre-determined management outcomes lined up and paid for by the Public Lands Lobby.
A guide to messaging Congress is here:
2025 Dept of Interior House Markup 9July24
Write, call and e-mail Congressional Representatives. Ask them to direct REDUCTIONS to the budget allocation for the BLM, Wild Horse and Burro Program in order to curtail waste. Tell them the agency budget request cites improperly prepared justifications which are just simply false. Federally Directed Spending
The overwhelming advantage the BLM has over the Wild Horse Advocate Community (The WHAC) put into perspective: The BLM looks at the public whining as an annoyance. For the BLM it's a game where they have an incalculable position of power. What will change the power balance based on activism? Can you define the source of the power?
Instead of calling the BLM - call your Federal House representative in Congress. The power to change outcomes for Wild Horses is with Congress. When The WHAC finds willing sponsors to write 'Programmatic Requests' there is hope for a change to the BLM Budget.
Contact the source of the power rather than the executioner. https://bit.ly/2025-1-24Feb24
