Description

The Bureau of Land Mgmt. (BLM) manages about 33,100 wild horses and burros on 199 Herd Mgmt. Areas in 10 western states. Under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, BLM is to protect wild horses and burros, set appropriate mgmt. levels (AML), maintain current inventory counts, and remove excess animals to prevent overpopulation and rangeland damage. This report examined: (1) BLM's progress in setting and meeting AML; (2) BLM's mgmt. of animals off the range through adoptions, sales, and holding facilities; (3) BLM's controls to help ensure the humane treatment of animals; and (4) what challenges, if any, BLM faces in managing for the long-term sustainability of the program.
