A letter signed by dozens of veterinarians, opposing BLM’s sterilization research on wild horses, was delivered to Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt today, according to a news release by the Animal Welfare Institute.
The letter arrived a day before the start of the Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board meeting in Washington, DC, where the topic may be considered.
The research is directed at a herd in Oregon that receives just 11% of the available forage on its HMA, with the balance going to privately owned livestock.
