You go, Ginger! I’m sad that some of Cloud’s band has passed away or gotten killed. I did everything I could to try to help! I wish I could be up in Montana and Colorado helping you and Cloud. I now HATE the BLM! As long as all the horses on the range are there and healthy (at least) I’m happy. The population doesn’t matter to me! They can eat and breed and so on all they want. I wish the BLM would stop. Hey, doesn’t the BLM get the money from when they auction off the wild horses? If so…they should be like, rich!

Yeah, tell it Ginger! How can they do this? They’re wipping out a species of animals! No one has an excuse to do this! Why don’t they just find the horses new homes or set them free? This is complete stupidity, and totally unnecsasarry (sp?). The mustangs deserve better then this, they shouldn’t be killed because we cant afford something, and they definetly shouldn’t be killed at all. This is so spirit crushing for me and yet I can’t be there to save just one mustang. I’m not even American (I live in the middle of Canada) and I can’t tolerate this. Kick thier butts for me, Ginger!

Go to http://www.goodsearch.com scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a box where you can type in a charity, type in: The Cloud Foundation, and every time you use their search engine, it will give money to that charity.

Dear Ginger Kathrens,
My name is Morgan and I am a big fan of the Cloud series. I can’t wait for the 3rd episode to come out this spring. The way that you film Cloud and the other wild horses makes me feel like I’m there with you. I may not own a horse, but when I watch you film him, it’s amazing. I wish that I could have that job. I have a couple questions to ask you. It would be nice if you email me back. PLEASE!
Warm Regards,
Morgan Jernstadt

…ti stimo molto per quello che stai facendo…vorrei avere la tua stessa determinazione per combattere contro chi vuole sterminare questi meravigliosi animali…

Wolves, bison, prairie dogs etc,etc. They are all in trouble thanks to mankind. Man has dominion says the Bible. Well, yea, but dominion should not be tyranny. We should care for our planet and its animals. Shame on mankind who commits these atrocities.

Why can’t the BLM just leave the horses alone and let nature do the work on the population?
Nature does this to help the population stay level: Old age, predation, lame foals (like the one Looking Glass killed in Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies)
BLM does this: Round up horses of all ages, PzP birth-control, sell/kill horses
Now, you other people out there, tell me which one sounds better to you.
If you think NATURE IS BETTER, then you rock!
The BLM also shouldn’t interfere, because they are using money, which comes from our TAXES, which seem to keep rising because of who-knows-what.
