Our public lands management agency, the BLM, allowed itself to be overly influenced by public lands ranchers and other special interests, thereby thwarting the will of Congress and the American Public.  Furthermore, BLM policies, not the presence of the horses, were the primary contributors to degradation of range conditions and spiraling taxpayer costs.

<EM>Public lands "welfare" ranchers (those subsidized by our tax dollars) produce less than 2% of America's beef supply. So how much does this industry actually cost Americans in tax subsidies and damage to our public lands?
