Summary: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is proposing to create seven new wild-horse preserves, to address the problem of a growing population crowding the Western range. The program would expand the use of contraceptives and would spray/neuter more herds on public lands in the West.

Response: I don't think that this will work, it would take a lot to geld wild herds. The problem does need to be addressed, however I feel that this way of doing it will not be successful.
