What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2025. It requires the government to phase out the use of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for gathering wild horses and burros over a two-year period. The bill also mandates that any aircraft still used during the phase-out must have cameras to record the operations for public reports. Additionally, it directs the Comptroller General to report to Congress on humane alternatives, job creation from those alternatives, and the effects of aircraft on the animals. Congress found that eliminating helicopters will provide a more humane capture method and save taxpayer money. Over the past five years, millions of dollars have been spent on these roundups and contractors.
