Relocation of wild horses and burros to areas of the public lands where they were not found in 1971 was prohibited by the original Act. That provision carried over into the current statute.
Today we recognize the importance of protecting their land.
Policies and plans that put ranching interests far above those of the horses and burros must be blasted out and replaced with others that reflect the will of the American people, expressed through their elected representatives, fifty years ago.
Don’t expect any leadership from the advocates in this regard, they are already whipped.
