We are excited for this process! As you know, this is something we have been working toward long before Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates was born! We have always been against the senseless culling of this herd that takes all of the young horses and appears to many of our followers the Park has been working to gradually eradicate this herd! Their presentation of draft concepts for the initiation of the management plan has only reassured that assumption.
We are also relieved to have an experienced legal team like Eubanks and Associates working with us. We NEED them to help through this ENTIRE process! We need your help and support to ensure that can happen! Our current legal bills are approximately $9,900.00!!! We have 30 days to raise that money and pay our invoice! We have some of it but need your help to make sure we can continue have them working with us to make sure the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park get the best management plan possible! If you look at the 1978 EA – it is easy to see WHY we need them working with us throughout this entire process!
There are several ways you can help us listed on our website: https://chwha.org/support-chwha/
Thank you for your support!! TOGETHER – WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!
Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates is committed to advocating for a wild horse management plan and protection for these unique wild horses that call Theodore Roosevelt National Park home! We are fighting for a management plan that is guided by science especially when it comes to decisions regarding the removal of horses and the administration of birth control. Many other wild horse management plans have proven to be successful with their science-based plans. We are asking for the same for this amazing group of wild horses that call Theodore Roosevelt National Park home.
