Soooo.... they did want that you feel so strongly about? The wild horses are apparently a menance to the environment, and are overpopulated because of few natural predators. BLM wants to profit from the sale of the horses as they've already sold 1,000 wild horses. 9,000 more to go.

Nice post, geeze.......

Sorry I posted here. I thought Mustang car owners would give a damn and also be proud of Ford. Apparently I was wrong. You think nothing of the namesake of the cars you treasure. It's very disappointing to find this out.

There are less than 32,000 wild horses on our public lands, there are over 3 million cattle overpopulating our public lands, not counting domestic sheep - add at least another million. But wild horses are a menace?
You must be related to a public lands rancher. There are 98 million cows in this country, we don't need 3 million taxpayer subsidized cows (to the tune of over $500 Billion annually) overgrazing, polluting watersheds, and ruining our public lands - 150 cows to every 1 wild horse. You've heard the term "Wefare Ranching"? Most of those 3 million cows are owned by billionaire corporations that like the subsidies and write-offs. You can believe the truth, or you can believe rancher/BLM propaganda.

I forgot to mention, the profits BLM realizes from the sale of these horses, which are not BLM's horses, they belong to the American people, are ranging from $1 a piece to $50 a piece. This is the result of the sales authority of the Burns rider. Normal base prices through regular BLM adoptions start at $125 a horse and go up according to bidding.
People that illegally lie to a federal agency and buy horses outright at $50 a piece and then sell directly to the slaughterhouse for $400 a piece are the ones profiting, not BLM and not the taxpayers.
