How You Can Help – Wild Hearts Collection

Help Protect America’s Wild Horses Our wild horses are being chased by helicopters, torn from their families, and funneled into a pipeline that ends in slaughter. Their freedom — and their lives — depend on people who are willing to stand up and say no more.

Your voice matters. Your actions matter. Here’s how you can help today.

STOP THE HELICOPTER ROUNDUPS

Helicopter roundups are one of the most traumatic and dangerous practices used against America’s wild horses. These high‑speed chases cause fear, injury, exhaustion, and sometimes death. Families are separated, foals are run to collapse, and horses who have lived free for generations are forced into holding pens.

Why This Matters: Wild horses deserve humane, science‑based management — not terror from the sky. Ending helicopter roundups is one of the most important steps we can take to protect their safety, dignity, and freedom. How You Can Help: Share information about the dangers of helicopter roundups. Contact lawmakers and ask for humane management practices. Support organizations fighting to end roundups. Spread awareness through social media and community conversations.

Learn the Truth About Roundups. Helicopter roundups are often described as “management,” but the truth is far more devastating. These operations chase wild horses for miles across rough terrain, forcing them into exhaustion, injury, and sometimes death. Foals struggle to keep up, families are separated, and horses who have lived free for generations are driven into holding pens.

What You Need to Know: Roundups are not humane — they cause trauma, injury, and long-term suffering. They are expensive and ineffective, costing taxpayers millions each year. They remove horses from their natural homes, breaking apart bonded families. There are humane, science-based alternatives that protect both horses and rangelands.

Why Awareness Matters: The more people understand what roundups truly are, the harder they become to justify. Public awareness is one of the strongest tools we have to push for change, influence lawmakers, and protect the wild horses who still remain free. How You Can Help: Share accurate information about roundups. Educate friends, family, and your community. Support humane management practices. Stay informed about legislation that protects wild horses. Use your voice to advocate for change.

Send Your Letter to Congress

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Last Name],

I am writing to urge you to support humane, science‑based management of America’s wild horses and to take action to end helicopter roundups. These roundups cause extreme stress, injury, family separation, and sometimes death. They are not humane, they are not cost‑effective, and they do not reflect the values of the American public.

I respectfully ask you to support legislation such as the SAFE Act (S.2037 / H.R.3475), which protects wild horses from slaughter and encourages more humane management practices. This bill represents a critical step toward ensuring that wild horses are treated with dignity and compassion.

Helicopter roundups are dangerous and traumatic. Foals are often run to exhaustion, families are separated, and horses who have lived free for generations are forced into holding facilities. There are humane alternatives available, including fertility control, on‑range management, and partnerships with local communities.

As your constituent, I ask you to:

Support the SAFE Act
Advocate for humane, non‑lethal management practices
Oppose funding for helicopter roundups
Protect the wild horses who are part of our national heritage

Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue. I appreciate your service and your commitment to representing the people of our district.

Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [Your Email]
