In the late 1700s the population of America was about 4,000,000. That was less than 1/2 the population of todays New York City alone. How things have changed. Now there are app. 300,000,000 of our complaing and overrated species living in the U.S. . Wild horses was one of the animals that we displaced in our infestation. Today there are app. 33,000 wild horses and burros in the wild. In addition there is an equal number in holding pens under the supervision of the Federal Bureau Of Land Management. Well the BLM is worried about the "costs" of keeping the penned herd. And so they are planning to kill app. 7,000 of the herd to get the bill down. Go to hell BLM. Sooner you die than the horses and burros if I had my way.
But Mrs. Madeleine Pickens, wife of oil speculator T.Boone Pickens is riding to the rescue. She is proposing to take all 33,000 horses and burros off the hands of the BLM and put them on a 1,000,000 acre range she now negotiating to buy. And the BLM has accepted her proposal. Now that is good news for a change.
