In 2021 the Bureau of Land Management spent $39.8 million in operational costs to round up wild horses and burros,
plus $72.3 million annually to care for them,
​so the agency can collect an additional $955,800 per year from cattle and sheep grazing allotments.

Cedar Mountain HMA 2022 Post Gather Sheet
Beginning September 17 with a proposed end date of September 30, 2022, The Bureau of Land Management began to round up 700 wild horses from the Cedar Mountain HMA in northern Utah. The round up  concluded early on September 27th with 638 wild horses removed from the range. 100 wild horses are said to be returned to the range; mares returned will receive a double dose of the birth control treatment Gonacon, though no release date has been mentioned. The method of capture and removal is via helicopter chase over uneven terrain filled with gulleys, fencing and cross-fencing. Captured horses were taken to the BLM-contracted Axtell

South Steens HMA 2022 Post Gather Sheet
The Bureau of Land Management concluded the South Steens HMA (herd management area) wild horse capture on September 15, 2022. Helicopter trap operations lasted 5 days total. The Bureau of Land Management captured 753 wild horses which is about 250 more than originally stated. The Bureau increased the capture total on September 13 due to “severe drought conditions”, however, no threat of drought impacting the livestock that graze freely in the HMA were stated and no livestock were removed.

Our wild lands & wildlife are disappearing at the hands of livestock grazing,
and the mining and oil industries.
We work to bring awareness to this issue.
