"Defenders takes the rancher's assessment of the animal's value and compares it with current auction reports and livestock prices as reported in regional newspapers. If there is a significant difference, the local county extension agent determines the price." Get over your persecution complex. Defenders is not out to get you or screw the ranchers. They came up with a pragmatic solution that you can't stand b/c it strips away your reason for being at the moment.

It's a nice piece of propaganda, well written to lead the reader to the intended false conclusion.

Now I just think you're trolling; you can't be this blind and paranoid. In fact, I feel quite sheepish b/c now I think you've been trolling the entire time. Got me -- hook, line, and sinker.

Some years ago my brother snagged a wild colt from some private property of a friend in Southeastern Utah. The colt was young enough that it was domesticated over the course of several years of hard work. It was a beautiful paint, just like Tonto's horse. He had to put quite a bit of time and money into the horse, vet bills, etc. I'd be willing to spend some money to save a wild horse I could own.

Good poll SU. You've finally outed UD and YO as the enviro-kooks that they are.

Wild horses are kind of cool, but they don't inspire me much. They basically are a bunch of domesticated animals that escaped from the Spaniards. It's like a pack of wild poodles. Or siamese cats.

Could poodles survive in the wild? Seems like the hair issue would make them victims to natural selection.

The best way to save wild horses is to declare a mustang season and give Goatnapper the only permit.
