A bill to restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of wild free-roaming horses and burros.

This bill, introduced in 2005, seeks to reinstate a federal ban on the commercial sale and slaughter of wild horses and burros living on public lands. If passed, it would prohibit the transfer of these animals to any individual or organization intended for commercial processing, such as for meat or other products. For the public, this means that excess wild animals managed by the government would be protected from being sold into the commercial market, ensuring they remain under federal protection throughout their lives.
