The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has concluded the burro gather in Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, near Las Vegas, Nevada, with 42 burros being collected.

The gather started Aug. 8 and was conducted because burros posed safety hazards on the park’s roadways and are damaging the park’s restoration efforts, the BLM said.

Burros were gathered utilizing the temporary bait traps consisting of a series of corral panels stocked with hay and water. No helicopters were used.

The BLM reminded the public that feeding wild horses and burros is dangerous as wild animals can be unpredictable. Feeding also affects the animals’ behavior and can be hazardous to their overall health and safety as well as increased public safety concerns
