The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has opened a comment period for a plan to remove feral burros and implement fertility control near Kingman, AZ.
“The proposed plan will help us ensure healthy herds, protect native wildlife habitat, promote healthy rangelands, and reduce safety impacts to local roadways,” said Kingman Field Manager Amanda Dodson.
“Burros removed from the Three Rivers Complex will be humanely placed in good homes.”
The Alamo, Big Sandy and Havasu herd management areas, collectively known as the Three Rivers Complex, currently have a population of about 2,300 burros. The population is nearly four times the appropriate management level.
