This plan sucks! I spend a lot of time in Eastern and Central Nevada
and hate the thought of the gov. sending these wild horses East. There
seems like plenty of land and food available. It seems more like the
gov. is trying to get them off the land for the ranchers. Nothing is
more beautiful then the wild horses out near the Range.

They could encourage local adoption of those wild Mustangs
and Burros if they'd simplify the adoption process. Most
responsible horse owners (like me) don't meet the fence
height requirement or trailer type requirement for
adoption. We're willing to spend thousands of dollars
annually on feeding and caring for the horse, but since
our fence is chain link (for example) we don't meet the
requirement.

That is insane.  They should do everything they can to get those
horses adopted.

Put the horses in Massachusetts, and put the people from Massachusetts on the BLM land to graze.  The horses would be better off, and so would the country as a whole.
