This longer-form feature profiles HAWS's origins and Darrell Glover's personal history. Glover founded HAWS eight years earlier alongside his partner Barb Robinson and a small group of volunteers, after taking on the Alberta government's legally sanctioned wild horse cull largely on his own starting in 2014. The largely self-funded organization has pivoted toward documenting horse behaviour to counter what it considers government and cattle-industry misinformation. By the time of writing, HAWS's Facebook page had drawn over 185,000 followers from countries including Germany, the UK, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
