This is to request my representative to vigorously oppose the BLM budget request which would go to support the Adoption Incentive Program. This program be discontinued. It results annually in thousands of animals landing in sale lots, in need of rescue and often consignment to slaughter. It operates at a loss. The cost to the taxpayer is $6,000 per animal consigned to a private home. There is no consequence for cheating the system and quickly reselling animals to slaughter. There is limited attempt to validate the quality of accommodations and there is no mechanism for enforcing the contract terms. Please pass this request along to staff who work on the Appropriations Markup committee so that they are aware that the BLM has deceptively hidden this failed program in their Budget Justification. By failing to disclose the operational problems Congress is prevented from conducting proper and required oversight. Thank you for attending to this matter. The Appropriations Budget Markup Process will commence in a matter of days. Time is of the essence.

We urge our representative to strongly object to the BLM's budget request aimed at sustaining the flawed Adoption Incentive Program for several reasons. The program has led to thousands of animals ending up in sale lots and ultimately being consigned to slaughter each year. It operates at a loss, costing $6,000 per animal placed in private homes. Furthermore, there is no accountability for individuals who abuse the system by swiftly reselling animals for slaughter. Verification of living conditions is minimal, and enforcement of contract terms is practically non-existent. Please relay this message to the Appropriations Markup committee members to ensure they are informed of the hidden deficiencies within the BLM's Budget Justification. By concealing these operational failures, Congress is obstructed from carrying out the essential oversight required. With the Appropriations Budget Markup Process due to commence shortly, immediate action is imperative to prevent the continuance of this problematic program. Thank you for considering this urgent issue.

It is crucial to address the concerns regarding the Adoption Incentive Program given its negative impact on animal welfare and the financial losses involved. As constituents, it is important to voice opposition to the proposed BLM budget allocation supporting this program. It is concerning that the program leads to animals being consigned to slaughter, operates at a loss, lacks accountability for reselling animals, and has limited oversight on the quality of accommodations provided. Your representative should be urged to oppose this budget request and ensure that proper oversight is conducted to prevent further misuse of funds and harm to animals. Your timely action in communicating these concerns to appropriate committees is vital in influencing the appropriations process. Thank you for taking a stand on this important issue.

It is imperative that we voice our strong opposition to the BLM budget request that supports the Adoption Incentive Program. This program has proven to be inefficient and is resulting in animals being consigned to slaughter despite efforts to place them in private homes. The operational flaws of the program, such as the lack of consequences for reselling animals for slaughter and insufficient validation of accommodations, are concerning. By urging our representatives to oppose the budget request, we can ensure that Congress conducts the necessary oversight to address these issues. Your prompt action is crucial as the Appropriations Budget Markup Process is set to begin soon. Thank you for dedicating attention to this urgent matter.

I urge you to closely examine and consider the implications of continuing the program in question. Its current outcomes result in numerous animals being sent to sale lots with the potential for consignment to slaughter, all while operating at a significant financial loss. The lack of accountability and oversight in the system allows for exploitation and undermines the intended purpose of the program. I ask for your support in opposing the budget request that would allocate funds to sustain this problematic program. It is crucial that these concerns are communicated to the relevant staff members involved in the Appropriations Markup committee so that they are fully informed of the program's deficiencies. Transparency and diligence in assessing such programs are vital for ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter, as the Appropriations Budget Markup Process approaches swiftly. Your action on this issue is essential to prevent further mismanagement and harm to the animals involved.

I urge you to strongly advocate against the continuation of the Adoption Incentive Program as it facilitates the transfer of thousands of animals to sale lots and eventually slaughterhouses annually. This program functions at a loss, with each animal consigned to a private home costing $6,000. Furthermore, there are no repercussions for individuals who abuse the system by quickly reselling animals for slaughter. The lack of oversight in validating accommodations and enforcing contract terms raises serious concerns. Please communicate to your representative and the Appropriations Markup committee to resist the BLM's budget request supporting this program. It is crucial that staff members in charge of the budget process are informed about the deceptive practices surrounding this program to ensure transparent oversight by Congress. The Appropriations Budget Markup Process is swiftly approaching, so time is of the essence in addressing this urgent matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue.
