A judge has ruled that the BLM cannot give itself power to decide which HMAs will be managed primarily for wild horses and burros, and that the ‘thriving ecological balance’ of the WHB Act refers to wildlife, not privately owned cattle and sheep. With livestock coming off the Twin Peaks HMA at the end of the grazing season, by how much can the AML be increased?
A. 2,265
B. 1,550
C. 925
D. 385
E. 95
Answer: A (27,178 ÷ 12).
That’s on top of the 758 wild horses currently allowed by plan.
