BLM Wants To Kill Captured Mustangs

[Matter-Eater Lad]

The Bureau of Land Management wants to "(1) sell older and certain other unadopted animals 'without limitation' to any willing buyers and (2) euthanize those wild horses and burros for which no adoption demand exists" in order to bring its budget into balance. As AZ Central reports, this means "euthanizing some 33,000 horses that have already been rounded up and are currently being held in long-term facilities."

 

Historically, both of these acts have been prohibited by law.
