This will challenge your thinking. Wild Horses and Burros should be listed by government agencies as Native Species
The SAFE ACT is more likely to pass Congress by amending the 1971 statute to declare Wild Horses and Burros Native. The high-level purpose is to create circumstances where the Bureau of Land Management can no longer justify it's management practices because the horses are NOT livestock, NOT invasive and ARE natural resources. This creates a strong argument in favor of creating better outcomes for Wild Horses and Burros.
ALLOWING THE MISINFORMATION TO BE UNCHALLENGED ENABLES THE CRUELTY AND MISMANAGEMENT.
Challenging the misinformation puts the burden of proof on the Bureau of Land Management to prove ‘the negative argument’ that they are in fact NOT NATIVE. That proof will be very difficult in light of the recent science on the origin of the animals and the removal of the ‘Chevron deference’. The courts are no longer required to accept garbage propaganda from the agency as fact.
Taking this action also removes the possibility that under 'Project 2025'' the government might euthanize those in long term holding.
The Wild Horses and Burros ARE NOT LISTED AS INVASIVE BY: The Department of Interior NISC (National Invasive Species Council) Guidance under Executive Order 13112. and Executive Order 13751.
Pushing back on the BLM to demand consistency with the Department of Interior listing again puts the BLM in a poor position to defend management practices using 'invasive' as motivation for actions
Proposed Amendment
- Section [4700.0-5 Definitions.] of the [ 43 CFR Part 4700 (Public Law 92-195) the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act (WFRHBA) of 1971 is amended by adding the following new subsection:
- (m) Native Species: For the purposes of this Act, the classification "native species" shall include the species Equus caballus and Equus asinus, commonly known as horses and burros. Both animals are indigenous / autochthonous to North America
