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. 292176 Legal 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. 202462 Supporting 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. 104469 1259745 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 14 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Suzanne Roy 9196194913 PO Box 1733 Davis CA 95617 Suzanne Roy Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X X 78115 0 3600 Ellie Phipps-Price President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dustin Brown Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephanie Zill Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Hake Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alicia Goetz Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 78115 3600 0 false false false Meyer Glitzenstein & Eubanks LLP 4115 Wisconsin Ave NW 210 Washington DC 20016 Litigation 118055 1 8165 1936983 1945148 0 579 579 0 0 0 0 12645 8165 5308 7337 7337 0 0 Legal Settlement 98415 98415 Merchandise Sales 15821 15821 114236 2067300 114236 7916 X 0 0 0 0 81715 53115 16253 12347 0 347256 289522 26914 30820 0 2803 2783 10 10 36881 29505 3688 3688 0 20851 20851 9048 9048 106529 106529 0 0 223623 153014 4330 66279 107355 72910 3806 30639 7532 1453 5837 242 37210 30250 6960 0 0 52019 41673 10346 0 1048 961 87 0 0 9823 9823 12996 822 12037 137 Litigation Expenses 202960 202960 Field Expenses 94281 94281 Government relations 88500 88500 Rescue Expenses 44487 44487 60404 47941 6416 6047 1547321 1259745 119974 167602 313208 285498 260836 826930 13681 0 0 0 0 0 1190 1142 49119 15619 43323 33500 0 0 0 0 0 618557 1160751 1086 22215 1086 22215 X 617471 1138536 617471 1138536 618557 1160751 519979 1086 X false false false X 488233 1018647 1278824 1445148 4230852 0 0 488233 1018647 1278824 1445148 4230852 718884 3511968 170 404 353 579 1506 0 7337 7337 4239695 282138 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 25712 172845 198557 1061188 1259745 200975 50244 false 179416 190571 200975 570962 856443 161713 42654 198557 402924 44854 47643 50244 142741 214112 81832 23700 25712 131244 44157 13983 30174 4962 1636 3326 33500 false MALIBU 15021 4965 10056 1451 695 1080 INCLINE 5789 3200 2589 157 1925 20810 8165 12645 1608 695 3005 5308 7337 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER 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.
