Here's efficiency.

They used to give away wild horses and burros for free. But no one wants them anymore (lots of reasons). So now, they are paying people $1,000 to take one. Have been for 2 years.

So what’s to stop from say, adopting 100 of them and putting them down?
Back in the day, when I was breaking Mustangs, I think the adoption agreement required you to keep them for 3-5 years. However, I'm quite sure some scammers are getting around it and doing just that. I do know there is a smuggling ring that transports horses from the US to Mexican slaughter houses. Anytime the government is giving out money there's fraud.

Beyond that, I can tell you from experience that 1 in 10 of the Mustangs make good horses in the end. Further to get them to be good horses, you need to have some solid experience behind you and be dedicated to the task at hand. They start out wild animals, and many of them just don't make the transition very well. Some of these Cayuses will run you out of corral. They are tough as nails though, and they can climb shit like a billy goat. I've got some crazy stories about them.

What an exciting and vibrant place to live. I'm jealous.

I'll see what I can do about the bears.

Send the homeless to North Rim of the grand canyon. All the bison meat they can eat.

Which population would spiral out of control faster .... bison or homeless?

:think:

The homeless aren't a breeding population, but it doesn't mean their population growth can't be studied as if it were.

If we really want to get scientific about it, we need to compare the unchecked population growth of the homeless in the west coast with the unchecked population growth of the bison in the grand canyon. With a little bit of luck, they'll roughly be equal, and the efforts to build the high speed train to nowhere in California, can be put toward building one from Seattle, through Portland, down through San Francisco, onto Los Angeles and finally to Arizona.

Also, Native Americans demonstrated that large groups of people could subsist entirely on buffalo. Meat for food and clothes and shelter from their furs and skins is the obvious example, but they also made needles out of bison bones, so we know for sure the homeless will have everything they need.

But where will the homeless find a cliff to run the Bison off ?
