Federal officials said they're faced with tough choices because wild horses have overpopulated public lands in the West and they no longer can afford to care for the number of animals that have been rounded up.
But Heyde maintained the agency is seeking a "magic bullet" for budget problems caused after it began rounding up the mustangs at an unprecedented rate in recent years.

The proposal "is killing pure and simple to balance the books for an agency whose reckless management has caused immeasurable harm to a national treasure at considerable cost to the American taxpayer," Heyde said. ...
HOW CAN WE LET OUR FEDERAL GOVT BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE THAT IT COMES DOWN TO KILLING "excess" MUSTANGS?
But then, they don't even care much about human lives....
ah yes, if the gov't messes something up (taking wolves off BLM land) than the only reasonable way to cover up their mistake is killing... but wasn't it a few years ago that some dumb-ass drunk Marines where dishonorably discharged and sent to jail for killing these horses? Double standerds... I can't fanthom how killing the Mustangs is going to help. Set up adoption programs , that are honest and not over priced like the BLM prgrams, and let the horses live.
This makes me so angry and sick.
They should have an open hunting season like they do for ducks and deer.

Are you serious? That is sick, horses are not game.
No dear, that was a joke. Sort of playing on the whole lets just kill them to take care of the problem attitude.

You CLEARLY have mental problems.
As far as the OT:
Turquoise5 I think this is horrible. Why can't we find some other solution to this problem? Like donating the horses to farms or zoos. Killing them can't be the only option.
Can we just leave the wild animals alone. It's the Wild Wild West. Please consider adoption. The horse is a beautiful animal, domestic or not. F
