The immense overpopulation of wild equids is having a devastating effect on the semi-arid high desert environment and scarce water resources, native wildlife populations, ranchers’ grazing rights, and on the welfare of the horses themselves.

THLN presents itself as “the only Texas-based organization focused on addressing unjust animal welfare laws.” However, critics argue that it is an animal liberation group advancing an extremist agenda under the guise of animal welfare.
