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.

- 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.

- Over 1,000 #BLM -branded #WildHorses and #burros were identified in #KillPens in 22 months.
- Over a dozen known groups of related individuals have adopted multiple wild horses and burros to the same address, then flipped all the animals to kill pens as a group after receiving the full #IncentivePayments.
