I hope we all can see that it is more than a coincidence that all of a sudden the federal register has announced a clarification for the wild burros as a species. This has been done because the IBLA judge has not made his/her decision on this legal complaint stating that the BLM did not take a “hard look” as is required by NEPA law, at the scientific information provided to them stating that the wild burros are an endangered species before making their decision to capture the Cibalo-Trigo burros. The agencies (BLM and FWS) have realized they have been hit in a very sensitive spot and are trying to cover themselves.
