"§ 1331.
Congressional findings and declaration of
policy
Congress finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros
are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that
they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and
enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses and burros
are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of Congress
that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture,
branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be
considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of
the natural system of the public lands."
