From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 1999:

RENO––Sex sells. Sex was notoriously
sold at the Mustang Ranch brothel in
Storey County, Nevada, for 32 years.
Holding more than 5,500 wild horses
captured in past roundups, more than roam the
range in any state but Nevada, and under pressure
to capture more, the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management desperately needs to sell more
Americans on adopting a mustang, or two
mustangs, under a foal-and-dame program
started in 1998––or needs to sell Congress on
funding more wild horse sanctuary space, not
open to competitive use such as cattle grazing.
In 1997 the BLM rounded up 10,443
wild horses, managing to adopt out 8,700, but
ranchers, hunters, and environmentalists
opposed to the presence of allegedly nonnative
species want another 16,500 horses
removed from the range, immediately. Their
ire was elevated earlier this year when Cornell
University researcher David Pimentel reported
that wild horses eat about $5 million worth of
forage per year, otherwise accessible to cattle,
sheep, and hunted populations of deer, elk,
and pronghorn.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, October 1999:

WASHINGTON D.C. – –
There was a story behind the story,
mentioned only in passing, when U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service on July 30
proposed dropping Aleutian Canada
geese from Endangered Species Act
protection, as recovered, with a population
now estimated at 32,000.
As USFWS told media, trappers
and fur farmers introduced foxes
to the 190 islands of the Aleutians
where the Canada goose subspecies
nests, beginning in 1750. The most
vigorous epoch of fox introduction was
1915-1930. By 1938 the Aleutian
goose had vanished, though closely
related species survived in Siberia.
