Animal advocates are speaking out against the treatment of wild horses. A report has sparked concern about the handling of these animals. The Bureau of Land Management oversees their care and has programs in place for adoption and sales.

Many wild horses have been placed in private care, with the bureau reporting over 290,000 since 1991. There are specific requirements for adopting a horse, including providing a suitable facility.

Further information about the wild horse program and the concerns surrounding it can be found through the New York Times report.
