I am writing out of deep concern for the Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program. The program policies in place are causing harm to taxpayers while facilitating a few, elite corporations involved in ranching and resource gathering to profit at taxpayer expense. The Program has also created a highly profitable, cruel industry moving animals removed from public lands into slaughter I applaud the spending preclusions (riders) in the Interior, Environment, And Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025. I am requesting you take the necessary steps to add the following to the list of spending preclusions. The reason to implement this preclusion is that the multi-year savings from curtailing these activities will save the taxpayer $3 to $4 Billion dollars. This high cost has been hidden from Congress by the Bureau of Land Management. RIDER LANGUAGE: The Bureau of Land Management is directed to immediately curtail Wild Horse and Burro Adoptions. Funds not used for adoptions or administrative execution of the program may exclusively be used to sustain and manage those animals already removed from public lands. None of the funds made available in this act, in this, past and future fiscal years may be reprogrammed without the advance approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in accordance with the reprogramming procedures contained in the report accompanying this Act.

I am reaching out with deep concern regarding the Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program. The existing program policies appear to be prioritizing the interests of a select few large corporations in ranching and resource extraction at the expense of taxpayers, and potentially enabling the movement of these animals into slaughter. I commend the inclusion of spending restrictions (riders) in the Interior, Environment, And Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025. I urge you to consider adding the following provision to the list of spending restrictions. The rationale for this provision stems from projections indicating that implementing these measures could result in significant taxpayer savings of $3 to $4 billion over multiple years.

I am reaching out with serious concerns regarding the Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program. The current policies are disproportionately benefiting select corporations in ranching and resource extraction industries while burdening taxpayers. Furthermore, the program is facilitating a profitable yet inhumane industry that is funneling removed animals towards slaughter. It is commendable that the Interior, Environment, And Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025 has included spending preclusions targeting these issues. Therefore, I urge for additional measures to be added to the list of spending preclusions. Implementing this preclusion is crucial as it is estimated to yield significant multi-year savings of $3 to $4 Billion for taxpayers. These costs have been obscured from Congress by the Bureau of Land Management. RIDER LANGUAGE: The Bureau of Land Management is directed to immediately curtail Wild Horse and Burro Adoptions.
