BLM announced today that wild horse and burro adoptions in FY 2019 reached their highest level in fifteen years, attributing the jump to the $1,000 incentive and a greater number of adoption events across the country.
The number of animals placed into private care in FY 2019 was 54% larger than FY 2018, according to the news release.
The wild horse outplacement program helps other users of public lands enjoy the full benefit of their permitted AUMs.
