The Bureau of Land Management’s National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board voted to recommend euthanasia of all unadopted wild horses and burros now in government holding facilities throughout the United States.
In response, Humane Society of the United States Senior Vice President of Programs & Innovations Holly Hazard, said, “The decision of the BLM advisory board to recommend the destruction of the 45,000 wild horses currently in holding facilities is a complete abdication of responsibility for their care. The agency would not be in this situation but for their long-term mis-management. Alternatives to this proposal have been ignored for over 20 years. The Humane Society of the United States stands ready to implement these alternatives at any time.”
Tell BLM to work with HSUS.
