The lies put out by the BLM about both the numbers and the subsequent "managing" of the wild mustang "problem" is nothing but a coverup of their utter disgrace in managing both the mustangs, the land they are to occupy (interferes with almost free cattle grazing, Uh-oh up against the Cattlemen's Association here) and the failure of round up that has led up to upwards of 33,000 mustangs (let's leave out the word "wild" now) stuck in filthy pens and sold to kill buyers for slaughter. Mustangs just need to be given back the land they have the right to occupy and the BLM needs to be put out to pasture, right after a complete Senate investigation as to the abuses of animals, public trust and gross mismanagement of taxpayer dollars.
