Beatty burro baby, 2018
BLM press release
BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management is working with the Nye County Sheriff’s Office regarding burros that were found shot to death on public land outside of Beatty, Nev. A report of three burros found dead of gunshots was first made on Saturday, May 5. Soon after an investigation was launched, an additional 10 wild burro carcasses were discovered. Due to the location and similar cause of death, they are believed to be linked to the three reported earlier.
The area is near the BLM Battle Mountain District’s Bullfrog Herd Management Area (HMA), located outside of Beatty.
The BLM currently manages thousands of wild horses and burros in accordance with the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, which gives the agency a mandate to protect and manage the animals. Federal Regulations 43 CFR 4770.1 prohibit the following acts: maliciously or…

So according to Regulation 43 CFR 4770 maliciously or negligently injuring or harassing a wild horse or burro is prohibited. When the BLM harasses and injures them, it’s allowed and referred to as management.
It’s just so crazy. This kind of savage violence happens every little while to the mustangs and burros. I don’t know if it is ranchers or just random psychos, and it needs to be stopped. I wish the BLM would just stop throwing up its hands and doing nothing, or are encouraging it, who knows. If a billionaire’s wife ran into stumbling block after stumbling block, including her rescued horses killed, and violently at that – you gotta wonder who really runs the show out there, when even money can’t talk. 😦

Exactly. The Pickens’s have been involved in helping animals, and she bought land for the horse sanctuary. I’m thinking that some of the ranchers, e.g., Cliven Bundy, may be psychos. He let how many of his cattle go wild and die in the desert. Of course, if wolves had killed them, his grief would know no bounds.
^^the key word their is ‘cutting off the water’. Anything to do with that I would guess is rancher thugs. Quit eating beef, everyone.
^the key words there’ sorry.
