What the BLM needs to do is roundup moronic, uninsightful goons like J. Hagedorn. The horse population will take care of itself. Hey, Truth. Ever hear of “survival of the fittest?” Probably not. Not if you are a Jesus freak. Remember, in your book, Darwin was a lunatic. We just have to have control. Leave it alone. It all worked out before we were here, it will work out after we are gone. We can’t run our lives, what makes us think we should have the right to play master over a species that WE BROUGHT OVER? Maybe we should worry about the economy, war, housing, not being asses to others…the list goes on, instead of forcibly moving other beings from their home. Wait, we are good at that, aren’t we?

Heli chasing horses is barbaric! It is a disgrace to our country to continue to round up horses that are clearly HEALTHY at this point and put them in pens where it will cost additional money to maintain them. Proper management before this would have kept the numbers in check and truly you can’t tell me that their isn’t a master plan behind this huge operation that unfolds as we speak. It is simply inhumane and the blatent disregard for Congress and the general public is appalling…I guess I thought we could do better and I believed in human decency…how stupid of me!

How dare you! How would you like it if you were chased! We have 2 sons in USA and often have to defend the American way. Not now, it makes me think that people who criticise the Americans are right. Have you not moved on at all Teresa Bestwick is right and I bet a lot of Americans feel the same way – but you must fight this and all inhumane acts to animals – and people!

In part of Spain even bullfighting has stopped! Make our world a better place for animals and then humans will follow. People who murder start with hurting animals. Think about it. Progress please. I am in the UK unfortunately, but I know the states and have skiing in the area and love it so much but unfortunately there are dumn people everywhere!

you all need to do more research on the topic to have facts and actual understanding on this topic cause the situation started back before the seventys when the ranchers were the ones that actually managed the horses by going out on the range ,catching and taming select horses for their use on the ranch. this was noted by wild horse annie to be unhumane unnessacary and for the benifite of the so called wellfare ranchers. the result the national wild horse act of 1971. what happened over the next few years proved to be much more devistating. the truth is that yes their may seem to be plenty of feed right now well of course cause the population is being managed yes mabey in the wrong way but still managed. the truth is that when these populations go unmanaged and the numbers get excessive its not just the weak that die the whole population in the area die off. and belive me it really creates a stink when their is a few hundred horses piled on top of each other around a dried up water hole rotting the smell can literally be noticed for miles then what will be left of the majestic wild mustang. another thing yes over 33,000 mustangs sit in blm holding facilitys the cost ten dollers a day per head so all you mustange lovers out there that want to help go get one or even better one thousand and help the government out since they cant be fed to starving countries then watch as your ten doller a day investment rots away within twenty to thirty years its really sad that we have the resource to make a huge impact agenst world hunger but instead we are required by law to spend millions watching it just litterally rot. its funny when someone makes the comment that we should just reintroduce large preditors to manage this problem cause first of all yes these large preditors are capable of hunting and taking down horses but soon enough they will get tired of running the horses and they will figure out that a human is a much easier and quicker meal not to mention that its guarnteed if your kids are left out walking the streets or your domesticated pets are tied up or stuck in a corell. the bottom line these populations must be managed to ensure their survival as well as they all must die at some point so lets make use of the situation to better the world and keep our majestic free roaming mustanges by the use of proper management and disposal of excesseive horses i can still remember a time when every human had to make use of everything he was givin bones were made tools not a thing was wasted now we are so wasteful in all that we do.

While this fight continues, please help us rescue the horses from the prison like holding pens. Instead of capturing and holding them, we can love & nuture, train and introduce a community healing to include hippotherapy and educational & riding training for youth.
We need your suppport!

to #4: Horses are not native to to North America. The Spanish brought them over in the 1400/1500s. They are now wild, however.

There is nothing about this that is necessary, there is plenty of land out there, but the ranchers
needs come first. Money is always the guiding force in this country not whats best for the whole.
