TUCSON - The Bureau of Land Management will hold a wild horse and burro 
auction this weekend at the Pima County Fair Grounds. 

The BLM is hoping to find good homes for wild animals corralled from public 
lands. 

Roughly 80 horses and 20 burros will be auctioned, and the highest bidders 
will have to pay an additional $125 adoption fee. 

Since 1977, more than 12,000 wild burros have been captured and removed from 
the public lands in western Arizona through the Adopt-A-Burro Program.

The auction will be held today through Sunday at the fairgrounds, 11300 S. 
Houghton Road, south of Interstate 10 and the Houghton exit. 

For information, call 1-866-4-MUSTANG.

“I personally cannot get overly worked up about the deprivation of human 
rights in a world where non-humans have no rights at all. Until animals and nature 
have rights, none of us have any rights at all because without animals, 
ecosystems and nature's diversity, rights are meaningless. Humans are a group that 
was never very successful to begin with. Overly territorial, obsessed with 
trivialities, violent, petty, and completely lacking in empathy for other 
species. The world would be a much nicer place without us." Captain Paul Watson
