April 22, 2015: BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board Meeting

The Bureau of Land Management’s National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board will meet on April 22-23 in Columbus, Ohio, to discuss issues relating to the management and protection of wild horses and burros on Western public rangelands. The two-day meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 22, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursday, April 23, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (The meeting times are local time; Columbus is in the Eastern Time Zone.)

This Board is headed in the wrong direction, as evidenced by the troubling recent appointment of a veterinarian who has for several years been pushing for the BLM to perform dangerous surgical ovariectomies on wild mares.

If the pro-slaughter, pro-cattlemen members that dominate this board have their way, mares like this beautiful mustang will be in danger, as will all wild horses and burros that remain on the range and in holding!
