[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 218185, member: 1963"] I think we have to remember that neither the mustangs nor the burros are native to the US. The mustangs descend from horses turned loose by the Spanish explorers early on with an admixture of stallions turned loose to improve the quality of the horses. The burros are a more recent addition, descending primarily from animals used by the prospectors in CA and similar environs where gold was mined. Both are feral animals not native fauna. Personally, while they are beautiful animals; I think that Pritzkers money could be better spent helping out humans. And this is speaking as a former horse owner who still loves the animals. [/QUOTE]
