Help TCF Stop BLM's Inhumane Plan to Sterilize Wild Mares

There are a lot of things that happen to our wild horses that we don't want to think about. But we must face these things now - because we must take action now.

First, they funnel her into a squeeze chute. She's wild and terrified.

Next, she might be given a local anesthetic and a shot of antibiotics. 

While the chute squeezes her body tight, a BLM-contracted veterinarian inserts a 1-foot metal rod with a chain on the end into her, to crush and rip out her ovaries.

This is not exaggeration. This is reality.

What may happen to our mare after the horrific procedure reads like a chamber of horrors: evisceration, infection, hemmorhage, and possible death

Sterilization of this mare will kill the essence of what makes her wild -- the natural hormones which drive the wild behaviors that astonish and thrill us in these iconic and spirited animals.

Why is BLM doing this?  It's the age-old "follow the money" scenario. 

The livestock lobby has deep pockets and that means deep influence. They're pushing BLM to destroy America's few remaining wild horse herds via sterlization -- all to keep their "welfare ranching" Ponzi scheme in place. 

U.S. taxpayers (that's us!) lose HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars every year so ranchers can graze their livestock on our public lands. Outrageously, in federally-protected wild horse & burro habitat, their livestock are given [on average] 80% of the forage!

With your support, we can stop these barbaric surgeries and end this rigged system.

The Cloud Foundation is committed to protecting wild behaviors. TCF Founder Ginger Kathrens has dedicated the past 25 years of her life to documenting, preserving and protecting these magnificent animals.

Please support The Cloud Foundation's win-win solutions to Keep the "Wild" in our Wild Horses!

We cannot do this without your help. Thank you for caring about America's wild horses and burros and fighting this fight alongside us! 

Never give up --
