Once again, the fate of a beautiful creation lies in the hands of a corrupt government. Cases like this serve as a call to arms for equine enthusiasts everywhere. If the BLM can’t effectively “manage” wild mustangs, what should make us believe that they can successfully do so with wild burros. “Feral” burros do not, and I repeat DO NOT pose a threat to the desert tortoise, or to motorists. As has already been said, it’s the motorists who pose a threat to the burros. Humans are the ones speeding through -their- habitat. As such, we need to be more careful.
Horsepeople, I urge you, contact the BLM and politely inform them of the merits of the wild burro, and his importance to the western landscape. Remind them that removing the burros will consequently lower their tour industry profits, as no one wants to visit a place where wild animals once roamed.

Turing wild animals into domestic pets isn’t the solution. The government should alert the public in burro inhabited areas,put signs up, lower speed limits,station police to enforce the lower speed limits, put fences along the roads,have emergency phones on hand if an accident occurs, and set of areas in the burros habitat where they may roam untouched.In addition to that how many homes have room for a burro? Taking burros out of their home is not the answer.

I agree with liz!Removing them is not, i repeat not the solution!It’s like the goverment wants to get rid of things of beauty,spirit,and fire like wild horses or i guess herds of wild burros.

Reduce the speed limit through the burro’s range, post more signs and get the local aware that like dear there are burros out there. And as for removing them thats the governmetn solution for everything involving wild horses or burros. They should be left alone or relocated, actually relocated not rounded up to be adopted, but relocated to a rual area away form dangerous area. And the government should start taking care of them and treating them as indigenous animals because they won’t go away (unless the government has something to say about it). They don’t have the right to exclude a free roaming animal from national parks. They could probally make more money by including them, because last time i looked people like seeing wild horses and burros roaming around in the wild.
