Did you know bluefin tuna may be more cognitively complex than many people think? 🐟

Just like American elk, mustangs face conflict with humans, too. It's important to look at how anthropogenic activity influences wildlife and to prevent the negative consequences to our best ability. #60animals

Another option that prevents round-ups could be fertility control; while this may be ethically questionable, it is a better alternative to round-ups. Learn more about them here,

Another solution to prevent mustangs from being sent to holding facilities operated by the BLM is the purchase of a horse that was rounded up.

One of the things that can be done, if the option is feasible for you, is adopting horses from the Bureau of Land Management to prevent them from going to holding facilities.

Through roundups, mustangs and burros are put up for sale, and buyers profit by selling them for meat.

[American Wild Horse Conservation @FreeWildHorses]

🚨 Through a loophole called Sale Authority, the government is offloading captured wild horses and burros as quickly as possible, effectively funneling them straight into the slaughter pipeline. Support the SAFE Act to end equine slaughter for good: https://t.co/5vvySJVpPr

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

The American Wild Horse Conservation, in an effort to prevent the roundup of horses, has an action center that allows others to join the fight. The action center has various levels of support, from signing a petition to in-person volunteering to aid these beautiful animals.

The American Wild Horse Conservation displays some of the horrifying facts about roundups for wild mustangs. Not only is this technique ineffective, but also inhumane.

This article shows how horses have been fundamental to society in many ways, functioning as transportation for business purposes and as ambulances. Also exploring the uses of horses in WW1, the ASPCA recognizes horses for their long-standing importance.

🐎 While dogs and cats may come to mind when you first think of the ASPCA, equines are truly at the heart of our founding 160 years ago. This #AdoptaHorse Month, read all about the ASPCA's long history of equine-focused work here: https://t.co/6uLgoZ0BcO

The Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act has been reintroduced into Congress, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is raising signatures to bring the bill more spotlight. Anyone can sign here,

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a program that enables those who can to adopt a horse. Allowing the horse to live a longer life and not face the potential of being rounded up in the wild.

Mustangs are being hunted due to humans' perception that they are overpopulated. Although Illegal, this still occurs because farmers feel the economic effects of said overpopulation.

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

Mustangs are being slaughtered for profit because there are no legal protections for them. The collecting and slaughtering of wild mustangs should be illegal.

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

Mustangs' welfare is at risk due to roundups. This inhumane practice should no longer be allowed.

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

There are currently tens of thousands of wild mustangs being held in government facilities. They are held here because of their interference with capitalism, possibly facing euthanasia. This should not be allowed.

[bluefin @bluefinn29]

Mustangs are seen as invasive because they encroach on the land of farmers and prevent profit. However, a mustang, just as all other animals, should hold an inherent value because they are sentient beings. They are now facing roundups.
