The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act would phase out the use of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for rounding up free-roaming horses and burros, a practice that leads to population growth according to the advocates.
The alternative would likely be long-term use of immunocontraceptives, sometimes referred to as mass sterilization, a service they provide.
The bill would not link Appropriate Management Level, an undefined concept in the statute, to principal use.
It would not repeal the Burns Amendment.
The statement reveals their attitude toward wild horses and burros.
They hate foals. They view these animals as pests and think reproduction is a defect, not an essential characteristic, of nature.
The bill will go nowhere in Congress but it’s a great way to keep their base fired up and the donations rolling in.
