Saw on the news this morning the proposed new budget (Federal) could have major impact on wild horses as it cuts several million from the budget for them. As news reporters often do it was told with as much emotion as possible as they said "it could lead to massive slaughter of them". Then with much less emotion they told had rapidly their population had to me exploded in the last few years and they were working on better birth control methods for them. (Maybe they need to put them in public education classes.) They did have one rancher who said they use to drive a heard I think it was like 10 miles to pasture and now had to haul them 150 miles for grazing due to the population increase. He then had the nerve to ask what do they do in cities when they have major over populations of dogs and cats?
I have never seen the wild horses herds in person but think most any kind of animal running free is beautiful. That can also be in a pasture. What is the thoughts of those who live with this? Have a neighbor who has for a couple or more years traveling to Wyoming think it is to get (buy?) wild horse or horses per year if my understanding is correct. Round trip must be 4,000 miles.
It does make me wonder how much the Federal Government (US, you and me) spend a year per wild horse.
