Randy,

 Here is the article on the history of the Mojave Desert wild burros. BLM transferred the jurisdiction of the land on which the burros roamed to the NPS back in the 1990's, but BLM was STILL in charge of the Wild Horse and Burro Program and therefore still RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELFARE OF THESE BURROS. Once in control of the land the burros roamed on, NPS declared wild burros alien species and ordered the shooting of any burro that was on its newly acquired land. Well, burros do not understand boundaries so they continued to roam on the land BLM once controlled. The wild burros did not "understand" that they were not allowed to graze on NPS-managed land so NPS started shooting and 400 wild burros were killed. Diana Chontos, founder of Wild Burro Rescue and Preservation Project stepped in to stop the slaughter and rescued 300 over a 10-year period. You can read about it in the article below titled "They Also Served - So Long Mojave Burros" . BLM was derelict in duty for not protecting these burros. It fully-well knew that NPS would kill them!
