Tia,

I have some big news.

We have been fighting for five long years to stop the BLM's wipeout of Wyoming's wild horses. Today, for the second time this week, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has handed wild horses a major legal victory! The court ruled that the BLM broke two federal laws when it rounded up 1,262 wild horses from the Wyoming Checkerboard in 2014.

This is huge! It means that the BLM's proposed 2016 Checkerboard roundup is also illegal! The BLM just notified the court that it was pulling the plug on this latest roundup of 500 wild horses, which was scheduled to start onOctober 18! Not only that, the decision permanently prevents BLM from treating the public lands as private and allowing ranchers to dictate whether or not wild horses will be allowed to live on our public lands. 

This is our third major victory for wild horses in just over a month! On Monday, the Tenth Circuit ruled that BLM is not required to remove horses from public lands just because the population exceeds arbitrarily-established population limits. And on September 9, the BLM dropped plans to conduct dangerous surgical sterilization experiments on wild horses in Oregon, citing the lawsuit filed by AWHPC and The Cloud Foundation as the reason for its decision.

I hope that you will take the time to read more about the Tenth Circuit's precedent-setting decision and savor this latest victory for wild horses and burros. We look forward to working together to get fair and humane treatment for our beloved wild horses and burros. 

Many thanks for all you do... I hope you have a great weekend!
