In this October 2008, Burros lined up outside a store front in Oatman, Ariz. are fed carrots by a passer-by. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is asking tourists to stop feeding the burros because they are overweight. The agency has launched a campaign it hopes will eventually steer the burros back into the desert to forage for grass and shrubs and get them back into shape. (AP Photo/Felicia Fonseca)AP - There is an epidemic in an old gold mining town in western Arizona: The wild burros that roam the town's single street are overweight, with rolls of fat on their necks and big, full bellies. But don't blame them. They'll eat anything.
