Shoot them and feed the meat to the homeless or in immigration centers.

Lots of people were just turning their horses out on public land when horse prices got way low, and feed got way high.
I've seen some with brands.

They bring more lawsuits than oil and gas.
The bigger issue isn't the horses (as much as I'd like to see them gone).
It's the horse lovers, and their well paid lawyers.

A "solution" for wild horses in the west has been sought for years.
Politics and emotion-driven responses have not been effective, but the BLM has its hands tied.
The current situation is a BandAid on a broken arm and things will probably get worse long before they get better.
An internet search for wild horses in feedlots will curl your toes.
"The vast majority of the BLM’s budget goes to feeding horses in holding pens".

It was never a problem getting good shots Open country I imagine. Try em in timber.  LOL...we don't have much of that, and we do have the largest population of feral horses of any State. They're like hunting antelope, actually, and many younger ones are curious. The older herd stallions and lead mares ARE damned smart.

But........... aren't they purty critters............ ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/2nbaBBM.jpg) I will admit that they are pretty and seem to fit on the landscape but I have seen them viciously attack sheep and deer at water sources and have seen what they do to our fragile desert landscape, fug 'em. Some ones have been killing the schidt out of the burros in S. Nevada, good on 'em. Back in the '80s the A-10 jocks used to slay mustangs by the hundreds on the Tonopah Range yet they still breed like rats. They should be open season targets like coyotes. mike r

I'd like to see Europeans chewing on nice chunk of horse meat again.

There's your solution, right there. Let the fighter and attack jocks use them for strafing practice.

Shoot them or trap them and use the meat. Back in the 60's (pre Wild Horse Annie) the BLM would sell the meat to the Canadian market. Now days we round em up and feed em Dairy quality Alfalfa for life. One thing not mentioned above is that they do a LOT more damage to the limited water holes than the feed sources. A herd of Mustangs can and will stomp a water hole into a mud hole in no time making it unusable for wild game or livestock for days or weeks.

They're hell on riparian areas. Seen it myself out at Duckwater in Nevada.
