There is a private sector solution to this problem: Madeleine Pickens has offered to take the 30,000 or so wild mustangs onto her ranch/reserve for them, and the gubmint is blowing her off.

Presumably, the government is doing so in order to give the wackos on both sides something to scream about, and to kick the can down the road until the government is the only one left to solve the problems it's created.

Oh, btw, beef producers . . . check the price of beef, lately? You don't need the land, either.

Wrong - WE need the beef producers.

Whacko types produce no food, in case you haven’t noticed.

PS Given the price of arm length rubber gloves, it would be cost prohibitive to even try to dress and clean one of those things.

This morning I looked up the plan proposed by Pickens and it seems to me though I know little about it that it still saddles taxpayers with footing the bill for thousands of horses forever.

I personally believe the numbers have to be curtailed drastically and the obvious way to do that is thinning them greatly at the outset and have an ongoing plan to keep the numbers at a level where our taxes are not going for their care.

Here's a BLM statement (updated 5-22-09) re it and there's probably many more.
