American
Wild Horse Preservation
August 2016
The Black Mountain burro herd is one of the largest and most genetically healthy wild burro populations left in the U.S. The BLM is doing the right thing by prioritizing humane management of these burros despite vocal lobbying from state and local officials for large-scale rounding up and removal of wild burros from the range.
The agency is now accepting public comments on an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the PZP fertility control pilot research program.
Additional research is necessary because PZP has not been used as
extensively on wild burros as it has been on wild horses, although one
research project has already shown that it was 100 percent safe and
effective in wild burros living in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
You can submit your own comments on the Environmental Assessment:

AND sign an online petition.
Protect the Black Mountain burros as they are one of the largest and most
genetically healthy burro populations remaining in the U.S.
Thank BLM Arizona for prioritizing humane management of the wonderful and
historic burros of the Black Mountain HMA.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
