“Arguably this is the most important wild horse case that’s ever been argued." -Bill Eubanks, AWHC attorney.
Today, AWHC and partners took the BLM to court over their decision to completely eradicate two wild horse herds in the Great Divide Basin HMA and Salt Wells Creek HMA. The court will determine if the BLM has the authority granted by Congress under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act to make such drastic and harmful decisions.
Since 2011, we’ve had Bill Eubanks and his team on our side, challenging the BLM’s actions that prioritize private interests over the wellbeing of wild horses. This case could set a precedent for the future of wild horse protection.
Says Bill, “This is not going to have impact just on the Wyoming Checkerboard or these Herd Management Areas as a whole. If the Bureau of Land Management is found to have this far-reaching authority, it can be applied to almost any Herd Management Area throughout the West.”
