Control of the Wild Mustang population is the BLMs responsbility. Yet is it so necessary to remove them from there home? These horses have lived there for longer than we have. They know the land and they are sturdy animals and most definately do not need much help from us. Would it be right to help a butterfly as it stuggled from its cacoon? If you don’t know, help it will kill it. Animals do not need help from us. If it be natures way, LET IT BE! The BLM is removing these animals from there home, putting them in the publics responibility to pay for the feeding. The animals population numbers MUST be managed. But why so drastic. Consider this economy. Does this have an effect on the BLMs removal of the Mustangs inorder to sell off the land? What other purposes may be involved? Not all the people out there truely care of the horses as much as thoughs that are true admirer of this majestic animal. Respect this animal. They have done SO much for us. Lets do something for them.

Eleven wild horses were killed a week ago in a BLM roundup in CO, they allowed no public viewing, so they could do their dirty work. I’m for returning the wild ones to our public lands, including the 19 million acres they stole from us and our horses. If they have their way, it will be the end for our American Mustangs.

If there really is a problem of overpopulation in the West then I agree with moving some of the horses to other land. But birth control remains a high priority.

So much money spent to round up, ship and set up holding areas in the east and midwest makes no sense at all! The copter alone run $2000 to $3000 and hour just to do the gather and that is only one tiny part of the complete cost. What a ludicrous plan! Leave the horses on the land they were given in fact give them back the 20 million that has been taken from them and they will be fine and the taxpayer will have a few more pennies in his pocket!

Setting land aside in the East would be cool, but I think the horses should have precedence over ranchers on public land! After all, horses and burros don’t destroy the quality of the range, whereas cattle does!!
