Federal Wild Horse Act Creating Overflow Herd
A five year old federal law protecting wild horses has created an overflow herd. The Bureau of Land Management, overseeing the 1971 act, cites 60,000+ nationwide with over half in Nevada, and 8,000 to 10,000 horses must be removed yearly to keep levels. Water trapping remains the main method but is impractical long term, while adoption programs aim to place horses in private homes. Officials warn destruction may be needed if saturation is reached, and Congress debates selling or donating excess animals or creating national preserves.
