Is someone kidding……….so let me guess, now as soon as the quarantine is lifted they round up more horses? Thank you US GOVT…..let the horses back in the national forests and parks…..and let mother nature and predators keep the balance of nature……humans cant be trusted not to upset very sensitive balances….oh…are cattle grazing on the mountains the horses came off of? and are we also removing the wolves that keep disease from killing as well as culling herds naturally?..

I am sad, but I don’t know where to place the blame. It seems that what happened to the horses was due to Nature’s whim.

That is just crazy! If the BLM wasn’t closing in on the mustangs, they would be well fed and NOT susceptible to salmonella!

Poor horses. Why can’t they leave them alone?

Oh man! That sounds bad. I don’t really agree with round-ups, but still, this sounds pretty bad. Can’t wait to see what the outcome is.

This is a very sad event. Couldn’t they have quaratinned these horses before killing all of them?

Unfortunately humans have exterminated the wild horses’ natural predators, so they’ve actually thrived. There are way more horses out there than 30 years ago, and on less land due to development. Coupled with the drought, more animals are going to die. IT’s a sad truth to wild life. It’s too bad the BLM couldn’t save those horses, however-

I think they round up way to many horses. They should let nature take its course and stop the round ups! At least 130 of them are free again!
