What they have done to wild horses is horrific and a violation of stewardship.

I do not blame them too much on allowing the wild horse herd to multiply out of control and destroy so much of the environment. Every attempt at rational management of the horses has been met with extreme emotion based propaganda from the Establishment media.

The management of horses and burros on federal lands has been an environmental disaster.

But that is what you get with irrational emotion being substituted for logic and reason.

Would you believe that because of the population explosion of wild feral horses and donkeys they are being relocated to several states to be warehoused?

I personally know several ranchers who lease their land to the FEDS for @ 2 dollars/head/day just to give these feral animals a place to get old and die.

Makes sense to the ranchers to do it when the alternative is equivalent to @ 200 - 250 dollars / year per cow/calf pair.

Ludicrous....
