Wild horses & burros get partial good news in the current Interior Appropriations bill.
The Fiscal Year 2019 Interior Appropriations bill approved unanimously by the Senate Appropriations Committee on June 14 would keep in place prohibitions against killing healthy wild horses and burros or selling them for slaughter.
“We appreciate that Senate Appropriators are listening to their constituents, who expect America’s wild horses and burros to be protected in keeping with the spirit of the law,” said Neda DeMayo, president of Return to Freedom Wild Horse Conservation. “We will remain vigilant against policies and practices that would cause wild horses and burros to suffer — directly or through third-party sales — including a needless push to perform dangerous, costly and unproven field sterilization surgeries on wild mares and jennys.
