There is definitely a problem with the wild mustang. For future managment of the herds there needs to be some form of birth control to control the population. So what about the present problem?Surely starvation and the suffering that comes with over population isn’t the answer. I’m sure BLM is open to suggestions.

I live in Fallon, NV which for those of you who dont know is surrounded by BLM land and I see wild horses all of the time, so I agree with all of the previous comments made about euthinasia is not the answer, and I think they shoul also guild the stallions, not all, but enough to control the breeding. I hate euthinasias unless the animal is suffering. I have seen too many unneccessary ones done.

trying to kill off one of the symbols of america when they are not to blame for human stupidity is not the answer.

Euthanasia is not the awnser to solving the problem. We need to understand the problem, us we were the ones who took away their natural grazing land and their natural predators. We really only have our selves to blame for this HUGE problem.

The BLM needs to get its act together and be more fiscally responsible. Slaughter is simply not acceptable. Contraceptives would be a good place to start. And it should also keep in mind that the land on which the horses are grazing used to be much larger and support vastly greater numbers of horses. The land should not be solely given to the meat farmers.
