On Tuesday, the American Wild Horse Campaign and defendants Debra Haaland, Secretary of the Interior, and Nada Wolff Culver with The United States Bureau of Land Management (Bureau) filed a joint motion asking the District of Columbia District Court to stay a lawsuit regarding the Bureau’s horse sterilization plans in the Confusion Herd Management Area.
The initial complaint which was filed in December 2020 by American Wild Horse Campaign and wildlife photographer Robbert Hammer asked the court for injunctive relief halting the defendants’ efforts to permanently sterilize wild horses through a purportedly inhumane and outdated method, ovariectomy via colpotomy, which involves using a chain to sterilize mares. Additionally, the complaint alleged that the government agencies did not give opportunity for public input in its decision and violated various national laws.
