The Bureau of Land Administration (BLM) is proposing a MASSIVE roundup of burros in Arizona’s Three River Advanced, which incorporates the Alamo, Huge Sandy, and Havasu Herd Administration Areas (HMAs). BLM plans to spherical up 1,794 of the estimated 2,259 burros dwelling within the space, forsaking simply 465 burros. Livestock grazing within the Huge Sandy HMA is equal to 1,000 year-round cows; BLM solely permits 139 burros to reside in that very same space.
America’s wild burros face a genetic disaster on account of BLM’s mismanagement of those hardy little animals. The company retains most burro populations so small that inbreeding is inevitable.
BLM plans this huge burro roundup whereas on the identical time the company proposes ADDING COWS to graze in the identical space! After almost 30 years of no livestock grazing within the Alamo HMA, BLM needs so as to add cows regardless of claiming the HMA is over-grazed. That is CRAZY.
BLM’s unscientific “Applicable” Administration Degree (AML) is a rigged system the place any animal over BLM’s arbitrary quota is taken into account “overpopulation.” The one technique to tackle that is to scale back livestock grazing and enhance the variety of burros allowed on the vary.
Please take motion NOW by signing our two petitions right here and right here, which name on BLM to ditch the large roundup and reject the proposal so as to add new livestock grazing within the Alamo HMA.
