Sand Wash Basin Roundup by BLM

For anyone interested, your voice would be appreciated. These wild horses are photographed on a regular basis, doing well where they are located, and should be spared from the cruelty of these helicopter roundups.

For any who can’t understand trying to save horses when we eat cattle…please keep scrolling. Just because we can’t save everything doesn’t mean we can’t try to save some things.

I've seen herds of wild horses (cayuse) in Oregon years ago. I had to stop my VW camper to let them pass.
Magnificent. Not the same as cattle raised for slaughter, but free and powerful.

They are beauties and should not be disturbed. The helicopter roundups kill and maim the majority of the ones they are after.

We as a nation can simply do better than this.

The stated objective of the round-up by the BLM is to "reduce the herd".
