[QUOTE="hayray, post: 776035, member: 3046"] Lets' also get the terminology correct. These "Wild Horses" are actually feral animals, mostly released/abandoned by ranchers after the initiantion of things like the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 and the general less reliance on needing a fleet of horses. I would be all for preserving a actual herd of historic Spanish Mustangs and I think some private herds exist but I think all herds on the public lands are just feral horses costing millions of dollars. The post is also incorrect in stating that they do no studies about range carrying capacity. Since the Wild Horse Act in the early 70's the populations must now be managed based on research and are now treated like a wildlife population rather then livestock. I am sure the round ups are chaotic, how else would you round these animals up? [/QUOTE]
