In July 2024, we called on you to speak out against the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Management Evaluation Report for the Pancake Complex in Eastern Nevada. The report outlined several troubling management proposals, including the castration of 138 stallions to create a “non-reproducing” component of the herd. Together, with your support, we strongly opposed these plans.
According to the current Herd Management Plan, it appears BLM listened and removed plans to castrate wild stallions. This Plan, which will guide herd management for the next 15-20 years, still incorporates controversial measures such as the use of the GonaCon sterilant, intrauterine devices (IUDs), sex-ratio skewing, and the complete elimination/zeroing out of all 102 wild horses living on the 153,662 acres of public land in Jakes Wash.
We ask you once again to take quick action and make your voice heard by opposing these ill-conceived elements in the proposed plan.
It’s imperative to get public comments on the record — otherwise BLM can claim the public supports this unfair and dangerous mismanagement.
If not you, who? If not now, when?
