The Bureau of Land Management is considering a policy change that would allow the killing of surplus wild horses and burros 90 days after they are put up for adoption. Five years ago, BLM Director Robert F. Burford placed a moratorium on destruction of surplus, healthy wild horses. Today, the agency says, it has a surplus of 10,000 wild horses in holding facilities, which costs taxpayers $25,500 a day or $9.3 million a year. Public comment will end on May 22.
