§ 1334. Private maintenance; numerical approxi-

struction by agents
If wild free-roaming horses or burros stray
from public lands onto privately owned land, the
owners of such land may inform the nearest
Federal marshall or agent of the Secretary, who
shall arrange to have the animals removed. In
no event shall such wild free-roaming horses and
burros be destroyed except by the agents of the
Secretary. Nothing in this section shall be con-
strued to prohibit a private landowner from
maintaining wild free-roaming horses or burros
on his private lands, or lands leased from the
Government, if he does so in a manner that pro-
tects them from harassment, and if the animals
were not willfully removed or enticed from the
public lands. Any individuals who maintain such
wild free-roaming horses or burros on their pri-
vate lands or lands leased from the Government
shall notify the appropriate agent of the Sec-
retary and supply him with a reasonable ap-
proximation of the number of animals so main-
tained.
