The advocacy groups rank among the lowest and sleaziest of the nonprofits. Resolve now to cut them off.

Next to the federal government, nobody’s getting rid of more wild horses and causing more long-term harm than the advocates. And they want you to pay for it!

Nobody has bought into the overpopulation narrative like the advocates. Nobody talks about wild horse removal more than they do.

You don’t ask a poor man how to get rich and you don’t ask the advocates how to help wild horses.

Wild horses have been cheated by the bureaucrats in favor of the ranchers with the cooperation of the advocates. Welcome to the Love Triangle on America’s public lands!

Despised by the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates, and marginalized by their big-tech minions, Western Horse Watchers brings you the truth about wild horses, resource management and the Love Triangle on America’s public lands.
