We have one of the colts from this roundup. He was foaled that year and only about 8 months old at the time of the gather. Breaks my heart. We adopted him in July 2012.

Remember, when the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act was passed it was the result of a children's letter writing campaign. It is their future that could be lost.

This makes me heartsick!!!!! My soul truly hurts at what is happening, in roundups!!!! This is the same shit that we did to the American Warriors, of this Country and so many of them rode on the backs of their Beautiful ancestors 150 to 10,000 years ago!!!! There is enough land to go around for all species, except leave the cows on your own land..... You can't have it all!!!!! This is so Mismanaged, that a 5th grader could make the argument, as to why these horses, deserve and have the right to be here!!! This truly breaks my heart and shatters my soul!!!! But, who am I, but a crazy human being, that truly cares what happens on my public land, that doesn't mean capturing these beauties. TOO EAT!!!! I DON'T EAT HORSES, I CHERISH THEM!!! STOP KILLING INNOCENT ANIMALS....... I really don't know how the people involved in this hannis crime, can look in the mirror and feel, like they had a great day!!! SHAME ON YOU AND THE BLM!!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!!! The blood is on YOU'RE HANDS!!!!!!

[@WILDMUSTANGX]

This is making me cry! We have to put a stop to this and free all those horses!

[@tportillo3993]

This is heart breaking. Why can't they just leave them alone, what harm are they really doing??? I don't get it....

[@thominaduncanson8003]

Horses sitting on land that is worth millions to developers? Developers would happily convert EVERY mustang alive to burgers to get their hands on the land. BLM (Bureau of Land Management) is INCREDIBLY CORRUPT, and ranking members have human blood on their hands from suspicious deaths. Wake up America!! Those who hate America within the Federal government also hate our animals-bald eagle deaths from gunshot skyrocketed under Obama, and the depredations of BLM on mustangs and other mammals likewise increased, and land owners died under suspicious circumstances with subsequent new ownership of the former owner’s land BY the BLM personnel !!! 😡🇺🇸

[@cynthiacarter665]

The helicopters feel like cheating; odds are stacked against the horses.

[@painthorselover101]

is it possible that the colt at 1:11 is clouds son/grandson?

[@blueputtee]

Notice the cows and thats why the horse is a problem period.Say whatever they like!!!

[@charlotteroberts7489]

Love the video

[@justines5303]

😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@WeirdAille]

This actually made me cry. have seen many videos like this and it is just horrible what is happening to wild Mustangs, and the way the people are dealing with them is completely despicable! It makes me feel sad and sick to think of how these beautiful creatures are robbed of their freedom and cast brutally into a world of fear and confusion! :'(

[@wattm2]

Ginger beautifully done - thank-you so much for everything you do, and the education you have spred about the travesty. As I watch your video I can't help but get choked up - hopefully this will impact our representatives. I am also sharing this on my facebook. Thanks again.

[@carolynsullivan9754]

I have been told that their are horses that are being sent overseas as meat. I hope that they are not among them.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Unfortunately, some of them are. They get sold at auction, just as any other horse. Kill buyers don't care if they were wild or not. (Jan Griffiths).

[@Cracard]

I just can't believe our government doing this to these magnificent, freedom loving and healing presences, the wild horses. Such a web of deceit and wrong values has resulted in this. It is such a crying injustice to the returned native horses and to the spirit of freedom that is essential to all life, including those in human form. Let's restore these horses by learning how to live in harmony with such animals in their natural freedom. By the way, they help the pronghorn antelope etc.

[@3MoonGDSS]

May the gates to freedom, be opened now. Ty very much for rising up for our precious wild horses/burros..those in Wyoming have been targeted ..as if they are "pests"...Wyoming is no friend to wild horses/burros or our land/water. These wild horses are magnificent...and we will never give up no matter what, until they are returned to freedom, their rightful place. Prayers..and action..pls spread word.. we must hurry to save them. God have mercy on our wild horses, the BLM has no mercy.

[@zoefroon4269]

Why don't we leave them be.

[@ftc174]

Well guess what with all this stuff it's imperative that people adopt horses that's my view on it. You got dogs everywhere for example being pulled off the streets and there's not enough people adopting dogs There gets to be more people that are willing to adopt animals in general!

[@mirabitterbook8102]

I also saw the comment that says "I heard horses are sent overseas for meat" and yes that is tru but I will not eat it because I don't eat horse meat also I have seen what they do to those horse to kill them I saw a video where horses that don't win races are sent to a slaughter house where they shoot the horses in the head to kill them its so heart breaking I started crying I will never do that

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

The 1986 Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand was such a horse. He was sent to Japan for stud duty, and when his fertility declined, he was sent to slaughter there. That was in 2002, I believe. His American connections didn't give a rat's ass about him. Utterly disgusting and inexcusable. (Jan Griffiths).

[@mirabitterbook8102]

I found a horse on my farm his name is skye and he is a white normal breed of horse and he was miss treated so I made a plan with my dad to buy him for only R2 000 for me I'm only 12 years old but I fell off him about 15-17 times but he only did it because he was abused so I love him so so so much his my baby he is only 14 years old and he was miss treated for about 7 years before I moved onto the farm. Someone on my farm said I must take care of him and I had no idea how to I learned how to now he has a brother Noah and her is 7 years old and his like a naughty heshlen horse and he is a wild or almost wild horse so I really love them

[@pinotmarehorselover2972]

How could they do that to me that's mean

[@mirabitterbook8102]

Okay one more thing why the hell do they call them WILD Mustangs but they are not wild that's why they are called wild mustangs

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

They are feral. They are descendants of domestic horses brought over by the Spanish. Some escaped, other were stolen by Native Americans and others. The horse was native to N. America, but died out during the last Ice Age. There were no horses in N. America until they were reintroduced. They are called "wild" because they live in a natural state.

[@Kaylarides]

I hate what they r doing to theses horses. It is horrible and inhuman. I hope that when I get older I can do all I can fit theses horses.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

It's all about the almighty dollar. These horses don't make money, so they have to go. (Jan Griffiths).

[@janesimmons1861]

a travesty for the wild horses and difficult to watch such cruelty of humans.
