Budget crunch may endanger wild horses

If the BLM is out of funds then let it stop functioning like any other mismanaged business. The mandate is for "Free Roaming Wild Horses" If they can't be managed for $36M then something is broken. Would they be any worse off fending for themselves then stored in holding pens? Of the two options the BLM is offering mercy killing or leaving them alone I choose the later.

Bureau of land MIS-management has for years been guilty of poor management and questionable ethics when it comes to the wild horses. Mass graves of horses have been found, not all were "sick or infirm horses" but mares, foals and stalions. BLM wranglers have been allowed to "adopt" horses that are eventually sold at sales for slaughter. This is just another smoke and mirrors trick to cover up BLM's poor management of the wild horse program.
