Stop BLM wild horse roundups

The Issue

This petition is to help stop cruel wild horse and burro roundups by the BLM. This is a cause I have been fighting for for about 5 years now. It's important that these roundups stop. Cattle ranchers say that horses destroy the land, when really it's been shown that open range cattle grazing is much more destructive. Horses are driven into cramped pens by helicoptor, which is very traumatic. There was a story recently of a wild foal run by the BLM until his hooves fell off. We need to continue to fight to stop this cruelty before there are more tragic stories like this one.
