Roundup Alert: Bureau Announces Roundup for Desatoya Horses, NV.
BLM's Stillwater Field Office recently announced it will begin a helicopter roundup in the Desatoya Herd Management Area (HMA) of Nevada, starting on or around January 16th, 2022.
Desatoya HMA is 161,700 acres. The BLM's "Appropriate" Management Level (AML) is 127-180 wild horses. Even at high AML, that is one wild horse per 898 acres.
The agency plans to roundup 223 horses, permanently remove 150, and release 43 mares (treated with Gonacon) and 30 stallions back to the range.
We strongly encourage YOU, if you're local to the area, to attend this roundup. As Americans, it's our duty and right to observe our government in action.
After all, these are OUR wild horses.
Bearing witness is heartbreaking, but the public MUST get involved if we hope to stop these tragic government roundups.
Observers need to call the roundup hotline and RSVP no later than 5:00pm the day before you wish to attend -- (775) 885-6101.
Facts are so important in this fight! We know it’s not pleasant, but please take a moment to get informed - read the full BLM PRESS RELEASE HERE.
