DescDriving Change Through Awareness and Empowerment: Advocacy/EducationAWHC is the leading voice for wild horse and burro protection in America. In 2019, we were mentioned and/or featured in nearly 100 media reports by national and regional media, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press and public radio. Our high profile public awareness campaigns aimed at stopping wild horse roundups and the eradication of key wild herds and reforming the federal wild horse management program reached millions of citizens. We also continued to empower our supporters to speak up by creating easy-to-use action alerts to weigh in on policy matters affecting wild horses and burros, generating 800,000 public comments and petition signatures on key policy issues.Desc

DescLegal Precedents for Protection: LitigationOur expert legal team continued to accumulate precedent setting wins in 2019, including legal action that prompted the BLM to drop plans to conduct risky and cruel surgical sterilization experiments on wild mares in Oregon. Our lawsuit against the Forest Service successfully delayed the sale of California wild horses for slaughter, providing sufficient time for Congress to ban the practice entirely. Another of our legal actions secured a federal court ruling ordering the BLM to stop excluding foals and weanlings from official roundup counts in Wyoming, putting the brakes on BLMs strategy of removing more horses from the range than disclosed by not counting foals in overall removal totals.Our legal efforts continue to provide a critical defense for wild horses and burros in the West against efforts by the government and special interests to destroy these iconic animals and reduce their habitat.Desc

DescSupporting Communities; Saving Local Herds (Field programs)We work closely with our local coalition partners in key areas of the West to protect and humanely manage local herds and our strategic, technical and financial support has allowed communities to preserve and protect numerous wild horse herds, including the Salt River wild horses in Arizona and the Fish Springs and Virginia Range wild horses in Nevada. In Arizona, we participated in a months long official collaborative process initiated by the Forest Service, advocating for a humane management plan for the Salt River horse herd in the Tonto National Forest. We also provided financial support for local PZP fertility control programs in Arizona and Colorado and darting support to a similar local program in Utah. These programs use the PZP vaccine, delivered via remote darting to wild mare to humanely reduce population growth rates and herd size over time. And, we entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Nevada Department of Agriculture to implement a humane fertility control program for wild horses in the Virginia Range in the greater Reno area. The program quickly became the largest wild horse fertility control program in the world. With a team of 20 volunteers, we delivered 1,299 fertility control treatments to 827 wild mares in the Virginia Range herd 2019, nearly double the number of treatments delivered by the BLM in herds across the West. We also sponsored classes to certify fertility control darters and train volunteers in Technical Large Animal Rescue for the Virginia Range horses.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Saving Lives (Rescue)While the primary focus of AWHCs work is keeping wild horses wild, we are calledupon to help horses and burros who are no longer free. In 2019, AWHC provided direct assistance to rescue dozens of wild mustangs from slaughter, including 30 foals captured in a tribal roundup who were orphaned after their mothers were sent to slaughter, and four BLM mustangs from a kill pen in Oklahoma just one day before they shipped to slaughter. We also provided financial support to a New Mexico organization to geld 12 stallions so that they could be placed into adoptive homes after they were removed from the wild, and our foal rescue fund provided critical veterinary and supportive care for nine foals who were orphaned and/or injured on the Virginia Range. Each of these foals rescued with AWHC financial aid was adopted into a loving home. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Providing Accountability - (Roundup Observation, Conferences/Meetings/Field Tours)America's wild horses exist in remote areas of the West, out of the view of the majority of Americans. As a result, inhumane wild horse roundups often go unseen. AWHC is committed to providing transparency to this federal program and its front line actions. The AWHC documented nearly every helicopter roundup that took place in 2019. Our observers powerful images and video of foals being stampeded to the point of exhaustion, horses crashing into barbed wire, and horses crashing into and over the panels of the trap pens were seen by millions on social media and in news reports. Through this work, we educated millions of citizens about the plight of Americas wild horses and burros and the urgent need to reform the government management program. We also filed numerous complaints against the BLM for violations of animal welfare standards, attended the majority of key public events and tours conducted by the BLM to bring the voice of the people to the agency and to challenge agency officials on inhumane and wasteful management practices, and we filed over two dozen Freedom of Information Act requests to inform the public about various aspects of the federal wild horse and burro management program.
