Margie Rose,
You are right. But, to be clear, the ranchers ARE the special interest groups.
The ranchers absolutely ARE behind the round ups of wild horses.
They lease BLM land for small amounts of money per month, per head of cattle. They view the wild horses as competitors for the available resources and, therefore, want them gone.
The BLM is simply the mechanism used to facilitate their wishes.
