But this is just the tip of the iceberg since many #KillPens directly ship #horses and #burros to #slaughter without ever advertising them. The true number of wild horses and burros entering the slaughter #pipeline as a direct result of the #AIP is likely much larger than what AWHC's investigation has uncovered to date.

It's obvious: Handing out cash to adopt #WildAnimals is a dangerous and fiscally irresponsible plan.

4/5

- Numerous #adopters have been identified on their second round and even third round of #AIPAdoptions despite #disposing of their previously adopted #animals in #KillPens. One group of 12 individuals brought in $82,000 in #taxpayer dollars thanks to this #scheme.

- The influx of wild horses and burros into #SlaughterAuctions as a result of the #AIP has now exceeded the capacity of #RescueOrganizations to take in the animals.

DEADLY CONSEQUENCES OF ADOPTION INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Last year, the American Wild Horse Campaign (#AWHC) released an explosive investigative #report that detailed the devastating and deadly consequences of the Bureau of Land Management's ( #BLM ) cash incentive-based adoption program, known as the Adoption Incentive Program ( #AIP ). The AIP pays individuals $1,000 per #animal to #adopt up to four wild, unhandled BLM #mustangs and #burros a year. 

1/5

"It's hard to sit through a #BureauOfLandManagement (#BLM) #WildHorse and #Burro Advisory Board meeting for a variety of reasons, but when it comes to the discussions on the Adoption Incentive Program (#AIP), it becomes almost unbearable.

@jetsilver The 50s stuff is great (hello Susan Cabot!). Some of the #Arkoff #teensploitation stuff can be found on DVD and in the public domain pretty easily.

I never realized Arkoff was #AIP's lawyer. Even more points for that! https://trailersfromhell.com/the-fovc-guide-to-the-drive-in-movie-part-2-aip-and-13-notable-drive-in-movie-masters/

@PBruce make no mistake, the likes of #TBA, the #UCP, and the #AIP all lean heavily in that direction.

It's coming to Canada, and likely through Alberta.
