The folks at PERC published a commentary earlier this week claiming responsibility for the $1,000 adoption incentive, describing it as a market-based solution that gets horses out of holding facilities and into real homes.
Why are they in holding facilities? Because they compete for water and forage with other wildlife.

Why haven’t they proposed market-based solutions to the ranching problem?
