In January 2016, the BLM released its "Mare Sterilization Research EA," detailing the agencies plans to conduct barbaric experiments on wild mares held at the Burns Corrals in Oregon.
Since that time, AWHPC has mobilized against these experiments, securing veterinary opposition, submitting detailed comments to the BLM and complaints to the Oregon State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and Office of Research Integrity, and producing a video exposing the barbaric nature of the procedures proposed for our federally-protected wild horses.
