Researchers Call for Changes to Federal Government’s Management of Wild Horses and Burros

Researchers at the University of Wyoming (UW) and Oklahoma State University assert in a new study that the federal government will fail at managing wild horses and burros unless it changes its policies.

They argue that existing government programs are unable to manage these feral equids, or mammals of the horse family, since these animals are simultaneously handled as pets, livestock and wildlife, according to their recently published article in BioScience.
