The bill is a joint resolution from the Wyoming Legislature requesting the United States Congress to enact legislation that would allow federal land management agencies to implement best management practices for wild horses and burros. Specifically, it seeks to permit equine slaughter and processing for shipment to markets both domestically and internationally. The resolution highlights the challenges faced by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) in managing the growing populations of wild horses and burros, which can double every four to five years without natural predators. It emphasizes the need for a pragmatic shift in management policy to address the unsustainable growth of these populations and the associated environmental impacts.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the removal of existing impediments to the disposition of gathered wild horses and burros, including the prohibition of equine slaughter in the United States since 2007 due to funding denials for inspection facilities. It requests that Congress allow federal agencies to collaborate with states and Indian tribes on the management and gathering of these animals. The resolution aims to facilitate humane transport and processing of wild horses and burros, thereby addressing the urgent concerns regarding their management and the protection of public resources in the arid West.
