Wild horses and donkeys are majestic creatures that roam freely across the vast landscapes of North America. However, their existence has been put in jeopardy by the cruel and heart-wrenching practice of rounding them up. These roundups in the USA and Canada subject these animals to unnecessary trauma, often resulting in injury or even death. The chase is relentless, turning their freedom into a prolonged nightmare either through the deadly pursuit or the torturous existence in cramped captivity.

Imagine the scene: foals, pregnant mares, stallions, and elderly horses, all driven to their limits by helicopters, chased across rough terrains with no regard for their well-being. In these roundups, the horses face sheer terror—a terror that no living being should endure. This brutal practice not only traumatizes the wild horses but also leads to the marketing of Mustangs, shipping these symbols of freedom across the world as mere commodities.

Drawing inspiration from Spain's renowned Doñana National Park, we can see that there is a better way. The park is a shining example of how to manage wild horses with respect and dignity, allowing them to thrive in their natural habitat. To ensure a future where these magnificent creatures can live peacefully, North America must adopt such compassionate management practices.

We urge the governments of the United States and Canada to halt these harmful roundups immediately. By developing and implementing humane wild horse management programs, we can preserve the integrity of these animals and the ecosystem they are part of.

Your signature can make a difference. We need to come together to stop the mass traumatization and killing of wild horses and donkeys.

Let the dignity and freedom of wild horses be a priority once more.
