Emergency Removals
|
Horses may have to be removed due to wide area wildfires or severe droughts.
In 1999 about 1500 horses were removed because of wildfires.
Older animals, unlikely to be adopted, were transported to the BLM's
sanctuary in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. For those animals not adopted and
deemed inappropriate for the Oklahoma sanctuary, the BLM in Nevada
has sought out alternative pasturing sources, including contracting for private
pasture lands.
