Georgia's Wild Horses Need Your Help!

Recently, Georgia’s only wild horse herd, living on Cumberland Island, has suddenly been thrust under the spotlight.  The reason?  A few organizations and individuals filed a lawsuit, demanding that the National Park Service (NPS) manage the wild horses by causing them to die out (via fertility control).

Cumberland’s Wild Horses need some management (there is not enough forage) due to the lack of natural predators on the island, but the NPS has never managed them.  That is the cause for this sudden push to eliminate horses on the island.

However, we’re advocating that the horses remain on the island, where they’ve been and survived for the last 300 years.  We’re also advocating for minimal management using the safe, effective, and reversible PZP fertility control vaccine and that mares are carefully selected to ensure genetic diversity within the herd.

I really encourage you to read more about this issue on my website.

Now, I’m launching a campaign to “Save the Cumberland Island Wild Horses”!  Together, we will be fighting for the horses and working to introduce a sustainable solution for years to come.  Right now, there are two critical actions that you can take for the wild horses of Cumberland.  Please sign and share our petition!  Also, you can support our campaign by purchasing Cumberland Island Wild Horse shirts at our Bonfire store!  I’ll also keep you updated on ways to take action to protect these wild horses.

Also, I’ll be visiting Cumberland Island more often for research and will film episodes of my trips there.  I will post them on Mustang Mission’s Patreon membership group!

Thank you so much for joining me to save the Cumberland Horses!
