This Activity extends from the preceding activity in that students will actually look at the numbers (math) to test whether BLMs argument for wild horse/burro roundups is justified.  Students will learn how to compare and contrast data (cattle vs. wild horses) with regard to the following: (a) population; (b) land usage; (c) forage allocation; (d) forage consumption; (e) water consumption; (f) environmental impact; (g) fire hazard; and (h) methane production.  Based on this data, students will surmise for themselves whether BLMs argument holds any water
