As the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accelerates its experimentation (AKA “research”) on wild horses and burros, it moves further and further away from the intent of the Wild Free-Roaming Horse & Burro Act of 1971. Besides the BLM’s horrific sterilization plans, the BLM also has plans to […]
Besides the fact that the BLM is experimenting on wild horses and burros, per the BLM’s own Environmental Assessment (EA), the AML for wild burros on Sinbad HMA is only 60. This is already a NON-VIABLE HERD, yet the BLM is planning to implement fertility control on this […]
While the BLM plans horrific experimentation and sterilization procedures on our wild horses and burros (under the guise of “fertility control” of the remaining, mostly non-viable herds), others around the world show concern about the risks of equine surgery.
