\ Regional NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Friday, August 2,19*5 Pag* 5 „ • * * * < < V Under protection by the federal government, the runt>y Bob Evans Farm, these animals are being West is running wild with an excess of wild sold at more than reasonable prices to the public, horses and burros. Through a special program Wild and healthy horses, burros for sale - cheap! - to good homes By Steve Metsch Herald staff writer Since coming under federal protection in 1971, hors­ es in the West have been literally going wild. In fact, the wild horse population has grown by such leaps and bounds that a portion of it will gallop into Ohio this weekend. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, Bob Evans Farm -- yes, the same Bel) Evans who peddles sausages -- will host a temporary adoption center for wild horses and burros Friday through Sunday just outside of Rio Grande, Ohio. "Since '71, when they came under federal protec­ tion, horses have been competing with the other native wildlife for foilage, vegetation and water. This is a way to take care of them without killing them," said Jane Gordon, who works in Bob Evans Farm public relations department. This will be the second adoption of wild horses and burros in three years in Ohio. While Wisconsin and Indiana have hosted adoptions -- the latest in the Hoosier State last April -- Illinois never has. "If we got a lot of requests, we'd sure consider getting out to Illinois," said Terry Lewis, who works in public affairs for the Adopt-A-Horse and Burro Program of the Bureau of Land Management in Alexandria, Virginia. The program ha$ sponsored nearly 20 adoption centers through the years, according to Lewis. "This is Che first time we've ever had corporate sponsorship," he said of the upcoming weekend. "We were in Ohio two years ago. Yes, it was (successful). We adopted around 90 horses and 75 burros there." This weekend, 135 horses and 75 burros will be available for adoption at the 1,100-acre Bob Evans Farm, located on Route 35 in the southeastern part of Ohio near the West Virginia border. That number, though, hardly makes a dent into the huge wild horse population. "It sure has grown," Lewis said. "We have more than 64,000 wild horses and burros out there now, and that's a lot more than the range can comfortably support. "We'd like to get that number down to 30,000. We don't want to get them all off the range, but we want to get enough off so we don't have to worry about overgrazing of land and the problems that can go with that." The Bureau of Land Management was given two choices when the protection act was passed -- destroy the animals or find homes for them. "We haven't destroyed any healthy animals for three years and, of course, we don't want to start doing that," Lewis said. With that decision made, adoption centers like this weekend's became all important. People can adopt up to four of the young animals if they can provide a good home for them. The main requirement for applicants are to have suitable trans­ portation, facilities and means for caring for the animals. Adoption fees of $125 per horse and $75 per burro will be charged by the government. "They have to have food, water, shelter and a good corral for the animals," Lewis'said. A "good corral" is one with pipe instead of barbed wire fences and is large enough to give the horse or burro plenty of room "to let them setUe down," Lewis said. "After that, you can turn them out to pasture. You can't just have 40 acres out back and put a wild horse out there with a barbed wire fence. You may never see it again," said Lewis, who wants people to be sure they know what they're getting into when they adopt a wild horse or burro. So far, more than 54,000 horses and burros have been adopted nationwide. "That's not counting Ha­ waii, we've never been there," Lewis laughed. "We have had people come down from Alaska to adopt horses, though. "This year, our goal is to gather 17,000 animals. That's a lot more than we have people for right now. We have a lot of problems. Most people have never heard of as. That's one of our biggest problems," he added. , The organization's most recent adoption saw 179 animals find new owners. After this weekend, the next temporary adoption center will be sfel^ up in Mississippi. The Bureau of Land Management does have perma­ nent centers around the nation. The closest is in Cross Plains, Tenn., about 28 miles north of Nashville. Another is located in Pennsylvania. "We'd like to put something together (in Illinois). If we get back enough requests, we'd sure consider putting one in that state," Lewis said. For this weekend's adoption in Ohio, interested persons must fill out applications from the bureau. Horses and burros are dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis, provided applicants meet the nec­ essary qualifications. / The money for each adoption pays for the costs of rounding up the animals in'the West and sending them to Ohio. The adoption will get underway Saturday morning, Gordon said, and will continue until all the animals are spoken for. "There will also be several movies, educational things, an open forum on training the animals," Gordon said of additional attractions at Bob Evans Farm. "There also is an 1800s village with a log cabin and farm animals." But the focus, of course, will be on those animals which helped win the West and are still playing a significant role for Americans in the 1980s.
