I am shocked by these women’s comments. Obviously they are biased against cattle ranchers and energy producing enterprises. I would have some respect for their views when they stop using air conditioning cars and houses, and eat only weeds and nuts. Just hypocrisy at its highest level.

Wild wolves were exterminated to almost extinction in the lower 48 for similar reasons. Being a keystone species it had detrimental affects on the environment. Cattle are having a detrimental affect and horses will be reduced in numbers to allow for grazing of livestock. Makes me sick. Man is the cancer of the earth!

This plan is for extinction and against the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act. There is no over-population of wild horses , the NAS study found no evidence of it. The 2 million cattle destroy he range and pollute the water. Wild horses do not and are symbiotic to ecosystems. 70% of the herds are not even genetically viable and many have been zeroed out. Congress must stop this plan.

The end result is the preferred extinction of all wild horses and many predator wild life. This is for the benefit of welfare ranchers, mining and fracking, and hunters who have the big money and the government behind them. The vast majority of Americans are appalled by these “advocates” who are benefiting monetarily from this current plan. Years of roundups, deaths due to roundups, endless years of penning of animals who have a legal right to the land as they are by science native to the land. The people want them left alone and free as they have a right to be. We’re tired of our tax dollars subsidizing the rich and taking from us the wild horses we love. The land belongs to us, the wild horses belong to us.

Get rid of the cattle. They don’t belong on public lands, especially the part that belongs to me.
Mustangs were here before Columbus but were wiped out by early humans. Research Ashfall, Nebraska and you will see all the prehistoric animals that were here, including five types of horses, one of which is identical to the horses of today, namely Mustangs.
