Veterans for Mustangs Act
This bill amends the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act to change how the Bureau of Land Management manages horse and burro populations. It requires using fertility control vaccines as the first priority method for population management, replacing previous steps. Crucially, it directs the Secretary to prioritize recruiting and training military veterans for these fertility control tasks, including through the PZP applicator certification program, with veterans receiving appropriate compensation. This directly affects wild horse and burro populations through new management methods and military veterans through new training and contracting opportunities under the program.
