Probably the biggest reason that the wild horse advocacy has been maligned by many ranchers and environmentalists, is the wild misrepresentations and claims that are made by some wild horse nonprofits and grifting to attract donations from good-hearted people.
The hard-earned money from donors must be treated with respect and put to good uses that leads to probable successes with validated results, not promises and hot-air, leading to a lack of meaningful results.
Let’s take a closer…

While it is a shame that some non profits are not what they seem, it is high time these orgs are exposed so that donations can be made to honest and real advocacy groups. Most of the scams we are seeing in wild horse advocacy come right from Humane Society’s playbook.
HSUS has been found to swoop in for all big emergencies, only to bail when their donations baskets are full. Surveys have found that donors assume all Humane Society’s are connected and their donations end up helping their local causes. But this is just not the case as HSUS has nothing to do w state and county humane society’s and does not share their half a billion in revenue w anyone but themselves.
HSUS has also been accused of scamming the public w fundraiser specific causes that always end up failing due to lack of funds. Which is ludicrous when considering they sit on over half a billion. But because the causes are fundraiser specific, when they don’t work out those funds just go to one of HSUS’s accounts and sit there accumulating.
The reason for the similarities in scams is due to HSUS sending out some of their best execs into the wild horse arena to help keep their PZP experiments on track and undistrubed by advocates who know better than to sterilize our native wild ones.
Many of our biggest advocacy groups have been infiltrated by these HSUS execs, ECI being one of them. So it comes as no surprise that HSUS, w all of its experience scamming the system and taking advantage of their non profit status, has been working to turn wild horse advocacy into a mirror reflection of their fraudulent ways to ensure they keep making more money for themselves.
These pseudo advocacy groups are merely a distraction to what really needs to happen for our wild ones. They want to keep us looking over here instead of realizing the BIGGER problem. They keep advocates busy and donating to causes that never amount to anything. If these advocates really wanted to help they would be supporting William Simpson and his WHFB because as of yet, WHFB is the ONLY ones to offer a better and proven management plan for our wild horses and burros. One that sees them living wild and free on our public lands as it should be, and not languishing in some costly BLM private holding facility. If it was put up to a public vote, i gaurentee the public would be in favor of WHFB’s superior ecological and economical plan.
It is unfair that it has come to this point and we now need to run background checks on advocacy groups prior to supporting them, but it is better to do a little homework than to throw your hard earned donations in support of another sham that ends up hurting our wild ones instead of saving them.
