i am very sorry that this had happen the beautiful coalt should not have died thanks to the blm they shouldnt try to capture the wild horses this way or any other way i hope they change thank you.
this just tells how desprate and how far the BLM will go to the point that it douse not mater what happens to the horses
jocie – it’s “colt”
Annatte – it’s “desperate” and “does” and “matter”
ANYWAYS…this is so sad! I read about Dusty, and I’m sad he got attacked by a mountain lion. But that’s just nature taking it’s course… :(
such a sad commentary on what government officials & programs consider “important” Are their desperate & cruel actions to decrease numbers connected to Ranchers’ concerns about wild horses grazing on OUR public land, which Ranchers want their cattle to continue to graze on for free?? ($$)
I think the blm for the most part is misplaced values, there is no reason that wild horses can’t run free…i am tired of everyone putting people wants in front of the needs of wild life. like the water shortage, if we hadn’t filled in all the swamp land that filters water for housing we might not be in this bind.
Sharon– at times it is appropriate for human needs to be put ahead of animal needs. However, in the case of the BLM you are totally right. The BLM does not “need” to manage the horse population. If they left it up to nature, it would be taken care of. But the BLM wants power. It’s just another example of flawed government.
What adds insult to injury, is that BLM should have better implementation of making sure these adopted mustangs go to worthy animal lovers. I have a neighbor who gave false information to BLM about the so called pastures that she owned when in reality she has two adopted mustangs in a barren paddock.
it was good i like it
BLM MUST STOP….AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING TO SECURE THIS !!!!
100 points to Emily! I am so glad there are still people like you. The mustangs are a beautiful accident of immigration. In a way, I think they found a way back here on those Spanish ships. I wish people would stop messing with them.
BLM and people will not stop messing with nature – people are not willing to live WITH nature. It is the same all over the world people always have to control everything in some ways. Watch BLM now they will zero out ALL the horses. I whish we all could do more in order to stop all these stupid actions. Keep pressuring BLM! Go also to the website of Madeleine Pickens she needs more support.Also sign in the petition we need more signature.
i dont think that they should round up the mustangs because it desrupts their ecosystem. like mares could lose foals, stallions could lose their herds, herds could just completally split apart from pure fear, and horses could get trampled, kicked, bitten, etc. i just think they should be left alone. WE MOVED IN ON THEIR LAND NOT VICE-VERSA.
no one should try to capture wild horses like that. wild horses are a free spirit and should stay that way!
