Per today’s news release:
The BLM continues to implement a multi-year plan to achieve and maintain the appropriate management level of wild horses and burros on public lands using a variety of management tools, including gathers to reduce overpopulation, fertility control to slow future growth, and adoptions to place excess animals into good homes.
Helicopters will make the big reductions in herd sizes while the advocates protect the ranchers after the fact by making sure the herds don’t bounce back.
