The Bureau of Land Management has announced new restrictions on the sales of wild horses and burros.
A recent ProPublica report alleged that thousands of wild horses bought from the BLM were sold to be slaughtered in Mexico.
Previously, buyers were permitted to buy an unlimited number of horses, but now a buyer can only purchase four horses or burros every six months. They must keep the animals for at least six months, describe where they’ll live, and provide safe transportation.
