To remove the living symbol of American freedom to become dinner for Europeans, would be like scraping the Statue of Liberty for copper for China. The same agency mandated to protect our wild mustangs can not at the same time be expected to manage our public lands for special interests. It's a dilemma. A new agency must be established with their best interest not special interests in mind. Enough lands must be set aside so only nature culls the herds at 50,000 or so. It has taken Wild Mustangs 500 years to become what they are because of their social behavior and environmental stewardship. Once gone it will be forever. Horses originated here over 20 million years ago had the first Americans not eaten them to extinction they might have sailed to Spain in 3 ships. They came back and served us as pioneers, in wars, westerns, rodeos, and even in cans of dog food. Is this how we repay them?
