What purpose? Particularly the trout.Chukar, pheasant, brown trout and rainbow trout serve a purpose. What purpose does a feral horse serve?

Displacement of maternal instinctHorses are one of those species, like dogs, cats, and dolphins, that many humans, particularly women, think are "special". Almost equal to humans in their minds.
AMLs (Appropriate Management Levels) are already established as part of the wild horse and burro act. If the population were kept at this level most of the problem would go away. I’d love it if the horse advocates were responsible for keeping the herds at these levels and actually did that but it’ll never happen.Any rancher that thinks that there will be more cow if horses are removed is kidding themselves. However if horses are removed or even numbers brought under control, the rancher will benefit because their cows will do better.
My solution, Issue the horse advocates grazing permits. The BLM range specialists get to determine the appropriate number and it is the horse advocates responsibility to keep the numbers within the permit. Failure to do so and the horses are treated just like someone with cows would be. The federal government should not be in the wildlife business, that is the states job. Nor should the government be in the livestock business.
What's the fine like for shooting one?
