Final Push To Prevent Onaqui Herd Roundup By BLM

Thanks to the American Wild Horse Campaign for sending this easy way to send comments to the BLM.  The BLM is within weeks of rounding up 90% of the Onaqui Herd and removing nearly 400 of these beautiful horses to spend the rest of their lives in a pen somewhere in the Mid-West.  We are so lucky to have this herd within an hour drive from Salt Lake.

The BLM doesn’t seem concerned about reducing the 2,500 head of sheep and the 2,000 head of cows it grazes in the Onaqui Herd Management Area.  According to the BLM only the 500 head of Wild Horses need to be reduced.  Please follow the link below to submit your comments to the BLM.

Thanks!!!

Greig,

Earlier this week, we wrote you about the urgent need to speak up for the wild horses in the Onaqui HMA in Utah. Many of you had trouble with the BLM site that was accepting public comments, so now we have secured an easier and more reliable way to submit comments.

Please take action today to stop the removal of 379 cherished Onaqui horses from their homes on our public lands.

Thanks,

The AWHC Team

BLM Asking for public input on Onaqui Herd – Please consider giving your input!!

I just received notice from the BLM specifically about this wonderful herd of wild horses I love to photograph.  They are looking for public input on the issue of thinning the herd from their estimate of 450 horses to between 120 and 200 horses.  They state the reasons in the attached pdf.  I am always amazed how they (the BLM) are happy to have around 2,000 head of cattle and 2,500 head of sheep use the Herd Management Area each year, BUT IT IS THE WILD HORSES THAT ARE THE PROBLEM!  Anyway, I would ask that you consider giving your input to the BLM on behalf of this wonderful herd of wild horses that do not have a voice in this issue.  They need our help.

Thank you for your consideration.  This link should open the BLM’s pdf on this issue that gives instruction on how to submit your thoughts.
