Comment on Long-Term Management Plan for Wild Horses in Nevada’s Pancake Complex
Please take quick action below to participate in the Bureau of Land Management’s long-term Herd Management Area Plan (HMAP) for the Pancake Complex, which spans more than 1 million acres or 1,680 square miles in eastern Nevada. The Complex is home to an estimated 1,400 wild horses and includes three Herd Management Areas and one Forest Service Wild Horse Territory. To break that down, that’s over one square mile for every horse! Despite the current small population in such a large area, the government wants to reduce the population to just 361 to 638 horses. Sadly, the BLM has resurrected the failed and ill-conceived idea of castrating 138 of the stallions in this EA.
Getting public comments on the record is important — otherwise BLM can claim we support this grotesque mismanagement. Please join The Cloud Foundation in calling for fair and humane management that preserves natural “wild” behaviors, family units, and freedom, and perhaps most importantly, gives wild horses and burros their fair share.
As Nelson Mandella said: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” As long as we never give up, we will succeed and get our precious wild horses and burros the fair and humane treatment they deserve!
