2024 Lake Havasu HMA Nuisance Wild Burro Gather
Purpose of Gather:
The purpose of this gather is to remove burros that are creating hazardous conditions to the public near highways and creating a public safety hazard for motorists.
Details of Gather:
The gather will remove approximately 100 wild burros using a bait trap method, which uses food and water to lure the burros into temporary corrals, strategically positioned in the gather area.
Public Observation:
Due to the nature of the gather, there will be no public viewing opportunities.
Adoption Information:
Animals removed as part of this gather will be transported to the Florence Wild Horse and Burro Training and Off-range Corral, where they will be made available for private placement through the Wild Horse and Burro Adoption and Sales Program.
Background:
The BLM manages free-roaming wild horses and burros on public lands as part of its multiple-use mission with the goal of supporting healthy wild horses and burros on healthy public rangelands. The BLM is responsible for determining and maintaining appropriate management levels (AML) for each herd and works to achieve that population target through a variety of management processes, including limiting reproduction in some herds using birth control and gathers that remove excess animals from the range.
