  Someone Has Killed More Than 40 Wild Burros in a California Desert. There's a $10,000 Reward for the Gunman


 
Officials in California are trying to find out who’s been shooting and killing wild burros in the desert––and are offering a $10,000 reward for answers.

Since May, 42 burro carcasses have been found with gunshot wounds along Interstate 15 in California’s Mojave Desert, according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

   ....
A burro is simply a wild donkey. They are considered to be an enduring symbol of the American Southwest, according to the Associated Press.

The animal is also protected under federal law by the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971.
Anyone found guilty of harassing, branding or killing one can face a fine of up to $2,000 and a year in jail.

  .....
BLM is leading an investigation into the killings, along with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife

“Wild horses and burros are an iconic part of the American West, and part of our national heritage. We will pursue every lead until we’ve arrested and prosecuted those responsible for these cruel, savage deaths, and we welcome the public’s help to bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice,” William Perry Pendley, the BLM’s Deputy Director for Policy and Programs said in a statement.

 
 
This undated photo provided by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management shows two feral burros in the Mojave Desert within the BLM's Needles, Calif., Field Office. Someone has been killing the wild burros of California's Mojave Desert, and the BLM is offering up to $10,000 to anyone who can help catch the culprit.

$2,000 fine and one year in jail??  should be much higher and the sentence much longer.  No reason for this at all.  Can't imaging it's some upset farmer there with the terrain there, I would think there are no farms there?  Regardless who it is, I hope they get this POS.  good luck.

Let's hope that penalty is for each animal.
