WASHINGTON, D.C. â Wild horses and burros meant to be protected through a government program are sometimes sold to slaughter houses instead, and so a U.S. Senator is joining in the fight to suspend the program.
Government corrals held a huge surplus of wild horses and burros, and so the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) was created to give them good homes.
Adopters of the abandoned animals must sign a contract promising to protect them from abuse, neglect, or slaughter.
An investigation by the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) and its coalition partners, however, found quite a different story; it discovered that groups of related individuals were adopting four horses or burros each (the BLMâs per-adopter limit), then dumping them at kill pens, collecting $30,000 or more in incentive payments and sales fees.
