Wild burro advocates have joined the primary season attacks on Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, pressuring the Texas governor to take a look at his state’s wildlife protection policies.

Wild burro are donkeys that have returned to the wild and are considered a pest by many in the southwest. Now the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is under fire for beginning a policy of lethal removal from Big Bend Ranch State Park in south Texas.

The Wild Burro Protection League has gathered more than 66,000 signatures on a Change.org petition and are working to pressure Perry into bringing an end to the wild burro removal.

“This atrocity has gone on for far too long,” said Karen Van Atta Luce, the petition author. “It is absolutely shocking that Governor Perry and Texas Parks and Wildlife haven’t recognized what incredible living assets the wild burros are.”

No animal rights groups have come out against Perry for executing 234 people in Texas as Governor. Why wild burros?

Animal rights people ignore this or even belittle the theory behind herd or population management. Same with bambi.

If deer or wild ass populations continue to increase unchecked, the entire species is threatened due to food supplies and other things needed for survival.  If the breeding stock of cattle is not reduced annually (theoretically), the farm is no longer able to feed any of them sufficiently and they will all die. Same goes for the much larger feral populations.

But WV, they might kill Eeyore.  :'(

All those idiots can see is the death of an animal. They don't understand the ramifications letting something like this go unchecked can have on HUMAN populations, which I (GASP  :o  ) think is more important than saving the wild burro.
