Wild horses and burros are extremely overpopulated on our nation’s public rangelands; there are currently more than 67,000 horses and burros on rangelands that can only support 27,000. As a result, horses and burros are at risk of starvation and dehydration. Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, sage grouse, lizards, native fish, and other native wildlife rely on our public rangelands to survive; these wildlife species are put at risk by growing populations of feral horses and burros.
