Was it truly a presentation of opposing viewpoints or simply a dispute about fine points between two factions of the same coalition?
Three reports have hit the wires in the last 24 hours:
Hansen wants the horses removed with helicopters and Beckstead wants them removed with ovary-killing pesticides.
Are wild horses overpopulated in Nevada? Yes, there are more animals than allowed by plan.
Are there more horses than the land can support? No, most of the resources in their lawful homes have been assigned to privately owned livestock. If you confine the ranchers to their (multi-million dollar) base properties in a year-round off season, and expect them to pay the going rate to feed their animals, there would be plenty of food and water for the horses.
As of this morning, video of the debate has not been posted to the AWA YouTube channel.
