We request that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) return the 45,000 captive wild horses and burros, now at risk of being killed, back to public land Herd Areas established with the 1971 Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act.
The 45,000 captive wild horses and burros are being hoarded in taxpayer funded ranches and holding facilities to make room for commercial livestock, fracking and other industries on public land. The BLM makes more than $4.3 billion annually from onshore oil and gas development, so they should have taken care of the wild horses and burros they chased off public land to rake in all that profit. But instead, the Wild Horse & Burro Advisory Board has recommended that the BLM kill all the captive 45,000 wild horses and burros they unjustly call "unadoptable".
The BLM claims the 45,000 captive mustangs and burros are "unadoptable" because they were not picked at adoption events, and thus received 3-Strikes or are over the age of 10. But that's not true. These adorable captive wild horses and burros were never given a fair chance at finding loving adoptive homes or sanctuaries.
