Lake Pleasant Trapping Ends

The incident concluded on June 8 with 868 burros captured, 867 shipped, none released and one dead.

There were no unaccounted-for animals.

The capture total included 400 jacks, 413 jennies and 55 foals.

Youngsters represented 6.3% of the animals gathered.

Of the adults, 49.2% were male and 50.8% were female.

There were no plans to treat any of the jennies with PZP and return them to the range, a huge disappointment to the advocates.

The operation liberated 5,208 AUMs per year for other mandated uses of public lands.
