  • 42. Revisiting A Vision for Wild Horses
    Oct 21 2024

    Wild horses have long been symbols of freedom and the untamed spirit of the American West. But in recent years, these majestic creatures have faced significant challenges. This year, in particular, has been horrible for wild horses in America.

    In this episode, I revisit key ideas to provide hope and direction for those who are passionate about protecting wild horses. As we reflect on their plight, it’s important to remind ourselves what we’re fighting for and envision a better future for them. We should respect and protect these magnificent creatures, as they are a vital part of America’s natural heritage and deserve to be preserved for generations to come.

  • 41. Update on Checkerboard Litigation: Interview with Suzanne Roy and Joanna Grossman
    Oct 7 2024

    The Checkerboard Litigation raises concerns about the BLM’s adherence to the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. The BLM is prioritizing livestock interests over the protection of wild horses due to pressure from grazing associations. The roundup and subsequent captivity of these horses frequently result in inadequate living conditions, overcrowding, and increased risk of disease, which has led to fears of euthanasia and slaughter.

    Tune in to discover the vital role of public advocacy and how you can support this important legal effort. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Suzanne Roy and Joanna Grossman, join me to discuss this cause and urge everyone to reach out to lawmakers and op-eds alike to spread awareness and help stop the inhumane treatment and eradication of wild horses.
