The remains of five animals were found earlier this week, according to a report dated July 13 by KLAS News of Las Vegas.
The animals were shot and killed in the Lower Wildrose area of the park.
The report was likely based on a news release from NPS.
The BLM assisted NPS with burro removal last year, suggesting that officials with the Park Service were not satisfied with the progress of a private contractor.
