It seems that anything or anybody that gets in man's way is considered expendable. Mustangs compete with some rancher's cattle and sheep for federal grazing land. The mustangs were protected under the endangered species laws and their numbers exploded. Every year some are rounded up into holding pens with the hope they will be adopted in the Mustang Adoption Program. But there are far too many horses for available homes. I feel a better way is to round up the stallions and geld all but a few of the best ones. Release them to live out their lives as wild but non-breeding horses. Another part of the problem is the absence of natural enemies to the mustangs. There are a few places where wolves are being reintroduced to their old habitats but these also are viewed as pests by certain ranchers. Eleminating large predators upset the whole ecosystem. These kind of problems almost never have a simple answer.
