Investigate Unreported Deaths of Wild Horse Foals at BLM


Investigate Unreported Deaths of Wild Horse Foals at BLM
The Issue
Wild horse foals are dying inside federal holding facilities — and the public may not be getting the full truth.
A recent investigation found that records of dead foals from disposal facilities do not match what the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has reported publicly. In some cases, internal communications referenced multiple stillborn foals, yet these deaths were never fully disclosed.
These are federally protected animals. When they are taken off the range and placed into government care, the public has a right to know what happens to them.
This is not just a data issue — it is a matter of accountability.
We call on:
U.S. Department of the Interior
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Office of Inspector General
to launch an independent investigation into unreported foal deaths, require verified public reporting of births and deaths, and ensure full transparency in all holding facilities.
Sign this petition to demand: no more hidden deaths—full accountability now.
