A coalition led by Rewilding America Now, the former CANA Foundation (known for its checkered past), sent a letter to the Pesticide Caucus asking for a formal audit by the Government Accountability Office of the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Sale Program, including the use of “Sale Authority” and “sales without limitation,” according to its news release.
The signatories are concerned that the program’s insufficient protections enable the secondary sale of federally protected wild horses and burros via auctions, which ultimately results in their slaughter, despite long-established congressional mandates intended to prevent such incidents.
