The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2025 aims to phase out the use of aircraft in managing wild horses and burros.

The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Wild Free-roaming Horses and Burros Act by prohibiting the use of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for rounding up or gathering wild horses and burros. The bill mandates the use of cameras on aircraft to record operations and requires the Secretary to phase out these practices over two years. It also highlights the use of fertility controls as a more humane and cost-effective alternative. The Bureau of Land Management will report on humane alternatives and job creation opportunities.
