West Douglas Paradox

The herd area is not suitable for wild horses but the allotment that contains most of it supports livestock equivalent to 962 wild horses.

The equivalent stocking rate in the allotment is 6.9 wild horses per thousand public acres, almost seven times higher than the rate that avoids rangeland degradation (one wild horse per thousand acres according to your faithful public servants).

If the bureaucrats and advocates held a lying contest, who would win?
