Public land
Our wild horses are not defined under law by what they are, but where they stand. They stand on public land.
Massive changes in public land management are underway. The range from who will make decisions in management to who will enforce the law.
We have a really hard time getting "advocacy" to pay attention.
The Presidents proposed budget for FY18 included approval for BLM to outright ship of wild horses to slaughter (private profit). This entails the public bearing massive costs and the profiteer reaping a massive profit.
The House committee approved a version that simply lines wild horses up and shoots them.
The Senate committee said "no."
We now hae full vote and conference.
