Commentary: Wild horse summit excludes key advocates, public

Related Topics: Equus ferus, Friends of Animals

Organizers of a wild horse summit taking place in Utah this week are claiming they’ve excluded the public and key advocates like Friends of Animals (FoA) to “protect participants and promote dialogue.”

The main concern of a national wild horse summit should be the protection of wild horses and keeping them roaming free on western public lands, not manipulated by humans by roundups or forcibly drugging them with fertility control. Especially since they are facing threats like never before — the current administration’s dark agenda includes killing wild horses in holding facilities who should have never been rounded up in the first place.
