The number of wild horses that have died at a Bureau of Land Management corral in Cañon City has increased to 106, according to the latest situation report released by the agency Saturday
Four additional fatalities occurred Saturday at the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Corrals, located on the Colorado Department of Corrections East Canon Complex, where more than one hundred horses have died since April 23, according to the BLM.
All the horses that have died so far have come from a group called the “West Douglas horses” – which were rounded up in August 2021 after the Oil Springs Fire burned about 12,000 acres south of Rangely, Colo., last June. The report, prepared by Dr. Albert Kane, with USDA APHIS Veterinary Services in Fort Collins, and Steve Leonard, the WHB State Lead for the Bureau of Land Management in Colorado, also states some West Douglas horses are “either unvaccinated, have only received one shot, or only recently received their booster shots about 10 days before the outbreak.”
They warn most of the affected horses cannot be treated without use of hydraulic squeeze chute systems, which risks “further spreading the illness throughout the facility, stressing the animals that could exacerbate any current underlying issues and risk further injury to adults and young foals in the affected pens.
