    Annual Report: 2014

    INTRODUCTION

    2014 has been yet another year of substantial growth for our campaign. In 2014:

    AWHPCs email list grew to 140,000 subscribers (up from 93,000 at the end of 2013). Our ranks have grown 60-fold since 2010!

    Our Facebook presence grew to 240,000 likes and a weekly reach between 1 and 2 million. This is an addition of 189,000 likes in 2014!

    We generated over 350,000 comments, petition signatures and emails to government entities in support of protections for wild horses and burros.

    We helped to rescue more than 70 wild horses under an agreement we negotiated with the State of Nevada.

    We grew our coalition to 70 members, up from just 40 in 2010.

    This year marked a turning point. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) holding facilities reached capacity with more than 48,000 wild horses stockpiled, and the agency was forced to reduce roundups and removals as a result. At the same time, we have successfully shifted the debate and even the cattlemen are coming to terms with the fact that slaughter is not a viable solution to the BLM wild horse dilemma.

    "In the old days that [management] was done through gathering horses and shipping them. Most of those horses went in to processing facilities. That clearly appears to be unacceptable to much of the general public today. So the other alternative that makes sense to us at least is more aggressive fertility control and neutering of horses." Jim Magana, Wyoming Stock Growers Association

    While we continue to vigorously oppose spaying and neutering wild free-roaming horses, we do find ourselves at a unique moment in time when the decrease in BLM roundups and removals, along with the foreclosure of slaughter as an option, is bringing even ranchers to the table to endorse on-the-range management through fertility control. Our growing grassroots advocacy efforts, which are causing increasing Americans to speak up for mustangs, have played no small role in this situation. Mr. Maganas quote hits home the fact that we are literally the line standing between wild horses and certain doom, and our collective voices are being increasingly heard. With that in mind, we are proud to detail in this report our 2014 major accomplishments and our ever-expanding outreach efforts.

    MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

    LITIGATION

    Working with the public interest law firm of Meyer, Glitzenstein and Crystal, AWHPC

    launched legal actions to defend wild horses in four states. Were giving wild horses and

    burros a powerful voice in federal court against unprecedented legal assaults aimed at

    eradicating them from our public lands.

    Nevada Association of Counties vs. United States Department of the Interior

    On February 27, 2014, AWHPC filed a motion to intervene on behalf of the campaign,

    author Terri Farley and wild horse photographer Mark Terrell in a case filed by the

    Nevada Association of Counties and several Nevada ranchers against the Interior

    Department and Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The suit seeks a court order to

    compel the BLM to remove thousands of wild horses from public lands in Nevada and to

    mandate the sale for slaughter of the nearly 50,000 wild horses warehoused in

    government holding facilities. Our motion to intervene was granted on April 2, 2014. On

    May 29, we filed a motion to dismiss this case, which was quickly followed by the

    governments own motion to dismiss the case. We are currently awaiting the courts

    ruling on these motions.

    American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, et al. vs. Tom Vilsack, Secretary,

    Department of Agriculture, et al.

    In March 2014, AWHPC, joined by advocate Carla Bowers and Return to Freedom,

    teamed up with the Animal Legal Defense Fund to file a lawsuit against the Forest

    Service over its plans to reduce the size of Californias largest remaining wild horse

    habitat area on Forest Service land the Devils Garden Wild Horse Territory. The Service

    plans to carve out the middle section of the territory and divide the wild horse

  • 4

    population into two non-intermingling herds, thus jeopardizing their long-term genetic

    viability. The case has been fully briefed and we are awaiting a court ruling. More

    information on this case can be found here.

    Western Rangeland Conservation Association et. al. vs. United Stated

    Department of the Interior

    In June 2014, AWHPC, joined by The Cloud Foundation, Return to Freedom,

    photographer John Steele and advocate Lisa Friday a filed a motion to intervene in a

    lawsuit filed by ranchers and their political allies against the Interior Department and

    BLM, seeking the removal of hundreds of horses from the range in southwestern Utah.

    On September 5, the court granted us the right to intervene and we are currently

    awaiting the courts ruling on our motion to dismiss this case. A hearing on our motion

    will be held on March 3, 2015 in Salt Lake City.

    American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, et. al. vs. United States

    Department of the Interior

    On August 8, 2014, AWHPC, joined by The Cloud Foundation, Return to Freedom and

    wild horse photographers Carol Walker and Kimerlee Curyl filed a motion for a

    preliminary injunction to block the BLMs blatantly illegal, massive roundup of wild

    horses living in three Wyoming Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in an area known as

    the Wyoming Checkerboard. The lower court judge (who is also the former First Lady of

    Wyoming) denied our motion and we appealed her denial to the Tenth Circuit Court of

    Appeals in Denver. Unfortunately, a two-judge panel denied our appeal in a brief, two-

    sentence ruling. As a result, we were not able to stop the roundup and the BLM

    proceeded to capture and remove 1,263 wild horses in an operation that left the wild

    horse population in each of the three HMAs below the legally established levels. Our

    lawsuit continues in the lower court, where a hearing on the merits is scheduled for

    March 2 in Cheyenne. Given the judges previous rulings, we are prepared to again take

    this case to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, where a larger panel of judges will hear

    the case and, hopefully, justice will prevail!

    State of Wyoming vs. United States Department of the Interior

    On December 17, 2014, AWHPC, joined by our co-plaintiffs in the Wyoming

    Checkerboard lawsuit, filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit filed by the State of

    Wyoming against the Interior Department and BLM seeking the removal of hundreds

    more horses in a state in which the mustang population has been reduced to just 2,400.

  • 5

    The court has granted our motion and we are currently evaluating our options for

    getting this case dismissed based on its lack of legal merit.

    FIELD WORK

    Fish Springs, Gardnerville, Nevada

    In 2014, our field worked focused on solutions implementation on the range.

    In Gardnerville, Nevada, we turned around what could have been a disaster for dozens of wild horses by working with the local community and the BLM on a pilot PZP birth control program that has, to date, prevented the planned removal of the Fish Springs horses outside the Pine Nut HMA. This pilot program provides a model for public/private partnership

    between local communities and the BLM for the humane management and preservation of wild horses. Above AWHPC's Deniz Bolbol is pictured above darting Fish Springs mares with the PZP birth control vaccine.

    Virginia Range, Nevada

    What will be the largest-scale humane management project for wild horses ever, we are close to finalizing with the state of Nevada a second cooperative agreement that will allow us to work with our local coalition partners to implement humane management of the Virginia Range wild horses, who live on private, state and local lands in and around Reno and are not protected by federal law. The agreement will allow us to implement birth control, diversionary feeding, fencing and other measures to control population numbers, mitigate horse/human conflicts, improve public safety and keep the horses out of harm's way. The goal is, whenever possible, to prevent their capture and removal from their homes on the range.

    Roundups

    We also continued to document BLM roundups -- including the Bible Springs Complex capture operation in Utah in July 2014, for which we also produced a video and also attended all BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board meetings. Please see our Eyewitness Reports for more details.

    RESCUE

    AWHPC, working with our local coalition partners, helped rescue from slaughter over 70 of the historic Virginia Range wild horses after they were captured and removed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA). A cooperative agreement brokered by AWHPC with the NDA and signed by our founding organization, Return to Freedom, allows us to purchase captured horses directly from the state, preventing them from being sold at a livestock auction. And, thanks to the generosity of AWHPC supporters, we have been able to purchase, transport and place dozens of Virginia Range horses in forever homes. Included amongst those saved is the Lockwood family of 13, a beautiful band of horses that was purchased by AWHPC after their capture by the NDA and cared for in a wonderful foster home for almost a year before being transferred to a private, 7,000 acre sanctuary. Please read more about this special family and see moving video and photos documenting the moment they were freed to an expansive, 300-acre pasture after being confined for a year here. Nearly 700,000 people on FB have seen the uplifting photos of these horses bucking and galloping with joy at their new-found freedom!

    POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE OUTREACH

    This year we reviewed, created alerts for and submitted detailed comments on scores of federal environmental assessments and policy initiatives affecting wild horses and burros 48 action alerts in total for the year! We are the only entity that reviews the majority of grazing, energy development, mining and other proposed activities that have the potential to affect wild horses and burros. Collectively we submitted an impressive 354,614 public comments on these initiatives in 2014. While we dont always see an immediate impact, we are building a strong public record for protecting wild horses and burros that will play a critical role in legislation, litigation and policy challenges down the line.

    On the legislative front, we were honored to join key AWHPC supporter Ellie Phipps Price in Washington, DC for the screening of her film AMERICAN MUSTANG The Movie. The premiere was attended by former U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, then chair of the powerful Energy and Natural Resources Committee. While in DC, Ellie and Suzanne Roy, AWHPC director also met with Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and key staff from several other Senate offices. (Above Suzanne, Ellie and AWHPC consultant Brian McGuigan pictured with Senator Merkley.) Ellie and Suzanne also delivered thousands of postcards collected at AMERICAN MUSTANG screenings calling for better protections for wild horses and burros to the Interior Department.

    We were also very proud of our Los Angeles-based supporters, pictured at right, attending a meeting with the staff of Senator Diane Feinstein to show strong constituent support for protecting wild horses and burros. Special thanks to Stephanie Zil, the AWHPC supporter who organized this meeting.

    OUTREACH

    MEDIA COVERAGE

    We spent considerable effort trying to educate the local media in Utah, Wyoming and

    Nevada about the wild horse issue and demonstrate and put into perspective the vast

    inequity between land and forage allocation to federally protected wild horses vs. to

    privately-owned livestock. In each of these states, wild horse habitat acreage pales in

    comparison with the tens of millions of public land acres grazed by livestock. Likewise,

    wild horse and burro numbers are dwarfed by the number of livestock grazing on public

    lands in each of these states. As demonstrated below, that perspective is beginning to

    be reported in some of these articles.
