To tackle the overcrowding problem, provincial officials have approved new deals with a local non-profit to sterilize and move many of the pint-size horses to shrines.
“These partnerships reflect our dedication to local, condolences and community-oriented solutions for the management of the Wild Burro population in San Bernardino County,” said Luther Snoke, County Chief Executive, during a meeting of the Council of Supervisors.
The founder of Donkeyland Amber Levonne said in a statement that the rescue organization “was happy to continue working with San Bernardino County under new contracts to support our local wild Burros.”
According to the province, two contracts, which were in force on 1 April, will move sick or wounded donkeys. Another contract would offer Donkeyland financing to castrate 100 donkeys within a year.

“The province knows firsthand that we are able to accommodate another 550 permanent inhabitants,” the board of Donkeyland wrote on Facebook. “It is unclear why they publicly expressed that we have capacity and yet they brought us several herds on December 12, 2024.”
The Ministry of Health of the province decided instead to work together with the Vreedzame Valley Donkey Rescue to conquer and save nearly 256 Burros in the Uncorporated RecorPorated region.
The province terminated that contract with Peaceful Valley on January 24 after receiving negative feedback from supporters of Donkeyland.
