We, the undersigned, respectfully request that President Obama direct his Secretary of Interior, Sally Jewell, to order the BLM to implement the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences report, commissioned by the BLM and made public two months ago. The recommendations are as follows: 1. Stop the removal of mustangs and burros from public lands. 2. Allow mustangs and burros to remain on the designated herd areas and manage the population through the use of PZP birth control.
The current policy of violent removal, stockpiling 55,000 plus horses in questionable conditions is not only cruel,it is costing American taxpayers 70 million dollars a year. The NAS recommendations are practical and compassionate and less costly. We ask that you act on our request swiftly.
