BLM to Implement Barbaric Plan to Rip Out Ovaries of Wild Mares With Chain
Yesterday, BLM Utah issued a Decision Record that, if implemented, would mark the beginning of the end of wild horses as we know them. The Decision approves destroying natural, wild behaviors using the gruesome procedure "ovariectomy via colpotomy" (more here) and castration of stallions.
Wild horses have one of the most complex social structures of any wildlife in North America -- these surgeries will forever alter their natural behaviors. Ovariectomy and castration are primarily used in domestic settings to change horse behaviors, making them more "manageable", those same behavior changes will occur in our wild horses.
TCF is assessing options to stop these cruel and barbaric procedures -- either through a lawsuit or through Congress -- but we need your help. Stay tuned for ways you can join us in this fight. To read the BLM Decision click below.
