About this listen

 What does it really take to zero out a wild horse herd? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the Adobe Town roundup, where the BLM captured far more wild horses than they should have, pushing this herd dangerously close to being wiped out. Though their target was met, the process that led to this moment was far from transparent or humane.

I spent five days observing the roundup, witnessing heartbreaking moments. While the roundup is now over, the real damage is done. The BLM has not confirmed whether they will conduct a post-roundup count, and with horses being sent to facilities where public access is restricted, the fate of these horses remains uncertain. The future of these wild horses hangs in the balance, and we have to keep fighting to make sure they are protected.
