You don’t seem to understand that these ranchers lease land near their ranches, not on the other side of the state and they usually lease the same tracts for many years.

You need to get a subject you are more familiar with, rude dude.

I don't care where the land is . . . was that a matter of dispute? The fact of the matter is, the federal government does not charge anything approaching fair market value for it, it is allocated under a system that is rife with corruption, fraud, and abuse, all for pennies, to people who would tell you that wild horses are armed with laser beams if they thought the argument would work. As a taxpayer, you should be ashamed. Perhaps you become familiar with the way the government works, dusty.

And I'll continue to maintain that claiming that wild horses are over-grazing the land in order to reserve it for over-grazing is bull manure, and you either believe it or are simply trying to change the subject to something else.

Oh, and the system is so screwed up, with the government closing all the horse slaughterhouses, forbidding wild horses to just simply be killed, warehousing them at your expense--that some bloody Democrat can come along and ask for $700 million to continue the process. And conservatives are simply supposed to shrug their shoulders, blame the environazis and animal-lovers, and repeat the unmitigated BS that the horses are the cause of the problem? Or resort to hair-splitting semantics about the horses not really being "wild?"

They run around. Out in the open. If people want to push them aside in order to make room for some politically-connected rancher to gather up a government freebie, they should at least be honest about it.
