Repeal Burns Ammendment

Making Wild Horses Safe from Slaughter

The Burns Amendment permits the BLM to sell horses at livestock auctions - practically guaranteeing their entry into the slaughter pipeline.  "The Story Behind the Burns Amendment"  

Congress wants to stop spending on the wild horse program...  [ The BLM ] by aggressively removing wild horses from public lands to cater to special interests (primarily the livestock industry) is waiting public dollars.

A 1991 GAO report found no evidence that wild horses have a negative impact on public lands, where they are outnumbered by private cattle at least 200 to 1.  Today (2022) that number is nearly 400 to 1.
