The Bureau of Land Management’s recent report to Congress outlining management options for a “sustainable wild horse and burro program” shows its true colors — that it evolved from the United States Grazing Service, which, as the name suggests, catered to cattle and sheep ranchers.
Asking an agency wedded to the meat industry how to manage wild horses on public lands is like asking Harvey Weinstein to come up with a plan to address the atrocities against women brought to light by the MeToo movement.
That’s why Friends of Animals is not surprised this “report” calls for massive removals, permanent sterilization, sale without limitation and slaughter.
