The fact is that the American public has shown that it does
not want essentially to have a slaughtering of these animals. It’s a public
value that has been tested now multiple times through votes in the United
States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. And so what we have to do is
manage these wild horses and burros in such a way that addresses the
imperatives that I see in this challenge. And those imperatives are first that
we protect the horses and burros, second, that we protect our public lands and
third, that we protect the American taxpayer.
