REWARD OFFERED: Three Wild Horses found shot, killed in Beaver County, Utah

The Bureau of Land Management is asking for the public's help in solving an investigation into the shooting death of three wild horses northwest of Minersville Reservoir on the Mineral Range Mountains. A member of the public found the horses on Saturday and reported it to the Beaver County Sheriff's Office. BLM is offering $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.
2News' Brian Schnee spoke with Gus Warr, of BLM Utah about the recent killings, the investigation and information about the horses.
Evidence indicates that the shooting likely occurred several days prior to the report. Initial information indicates there is no correlation in these deaths with those that occurred on the Onaqui wild horse Herd Management Area in northern Utah.
The public is encouraged to call the BLM Utah Law Enforcement Tip-Line: [phone] with any information regarding the shooting, anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, or any observations of shooting occurring during the period of Dec. 28, 2024 - Jan. 3, 2025.

Breaks my heartstrings. This is domestic terrorism. Wild horses are federally protected. Please bring a military presence.

[@Blessedchild-x8r]

People can be so cruel.

[@colleenstaroszik2084]

Several years ago several wild horses were shot, and then left to die.

😠😠😠😠😠

[@denarobertson7103]

I would be willing to bet it is a disgruntled landowner in the area. So many people love the wild horses, but so many people hate them too.

[@calgal5752]

Why?

[@galenedorrity7703]

God knows who did this!! Horrible!!!

[@section3119]

These horses are a federally protected invasive animal.... So that wealthy land owners can suck up government cash for taking them off the governments hands after they over populate and destroy their ecosystem. They are the exact same as feral pigs, but their cute so people think their special.

[@lindaroper2654]

People are so evil. Surely the owner didnt have insurance on them and done it .🤷🙏

[@Ohdeer1005]

[@calgal5752]
