Upon contacting NPS, they admitted to shooting over 400 Death Valley wild burros from 1987 through 1994 utilizing a lethal removal policy called 'direc reduction'. We were even more dismayed to learn that there was no public, or other, effective opposition to end this senseless slaughter of wild burros. We could no longer enjoy our lives knowing that wild burros were being routinely shot on our public lands, so we decided to go all out to stop this horror. That is when WBR ceased to be just two people with a vision and became a small, but powerful, organization funded by a few animal foundations and strengthened by supporters and volunteers dedicated to saving the Death Valley buros.""
