Up to $20 million was available for partnerships with private landowners to provide sanctuaries for wild horses according to a notice from 2011.
The announcement does not explain the BLM’s expectations but a program that helps interested groups (not the advocates) acquire or control private properties attached to public lands would serve a useful purpose today.
The advocates would only be interested in a program that helps them buy pesticides so they can beat the horse populations down in favor of livestock.
If a proposed sanctuary doesn’t include public lands and doesn’t displace livestock therefrom, it’s not worthy of your support.
