Stop Dangerous,Painful Experiments on Wild Horses

Created by A.M. on January 31, 2016

Stop cruel experiments on wild horses.
The BLM wants to conduct sterilization experiments on wild mares at the Wild Horse Corral Facility in Hines, Oregon using a dangerous, archaic procedure that can only be described as torture.
Using ovariectomy via colpotomy, a veterinarian places his arm into a mare's vaginal cavity, manually locates the ovaries and rips them out using a rod-like device with a chain on the end. This results in abortion and has a significant risk of pain, hemorrhage and evisceration (intestines coming through the incision). Incredibly, the BLM intends to provide no post-operative care for infection or pain relief.
The PZP birth control vaccine is a non-invasive, humane and cost-effective method that has been used safely for thirty years.
