Those actually familiar with horses know this BS has been going on for a very long time. When I had a Farm, we had 5 horses, they were all second-hand horses from various places and situations, from an emaciated Percheron stuck in a spot so small it couldn't turn around, to an Arabian/Walker mix being loaded on the trailer headed to slaughter. It took them a few days to acclimate to my place and me, after that they were awesome, rode them all, worked a couple, when I left the farm they all went to functional homes. It's amazing, the Feds squandering millions to hunt horses, just so they can be penned and exterminated... when the option of leaving them be and dealing with their minimal presence is a fraction of the cost.

If y’all need a cheer up story about mustangs I recommend looking into searching “rescuing a family of mustangs”. I don’t remember the woman’s name but it’s a short doc about her following a herd lead by a beautiful stallion, these people took them away and sold them apart. She got back every single horse. It’s a very heart touching story. For those who don’t know, horses have a hierarchy system. Stallions and oldest mares are usually at the top as leader and protector, they know where food and water is. Mares will adopt other foals, and the amount of intelligence they have is more than incredible. Horses can read more than 20 human facial expressions, I can’t even think of that many of my own! Beautiful animals.

[@foresthiker6707]

I think you're talking about Ginger Kathrens, (sp?) and the stallion was Cloud. She has a phenomenal love for them.... like a 'Jane Goodall' for horses. I watched that whole documentary years ago, It was very well done, very educating. The panic and suffering the BLM causes these horse herds is sickening and sad. I had to stop watching more footage because I couldn't sleep at night. When I think of how loved and cherished my horses are, I wish I could adopt every Mustang out there, but I can't. The family herds are suddenly and frighteningly separated, new foals' hooves torn off in the panic, etc. it's inexcusable x's 10. I don't care how much they 'sugar coat' it, this is the real deal. And all for the love of money. They'll have to stand before God and answer a few questions some day.

I knew a horse named Bucky. I had ridden him 20 years prior; he belonged to a friend. I met my friend at a ranch 4 years ago and had presumed Bucky was no longer with us. I got to the ranch 1/2 hour before my friend and this beautiful horse ran to the gate from across the field. He hung around and was neighing at me. I thought "Wow. He really looks like Bucky but he looks to young to be him." I shared my carrots with the sweet horse while I waited for my friend. She showed up and stated "Wow! Bucky never hangs out over here because there's no grass. You must have called him over..." I was shocked. I hadn't said a word. He recognized me before I recognized him. He died a few years later and I knew it before my friend told me. I dreamt about him and woke up missing him. My friend called me and told me the news. Horses are the closest reality to the supernatural. They're the lions of North America. 💗

Actually wild horses are the most protected large animal in America. Facts to prove this it is a felony to chase these horses. Their are 5 registered contractors allowed to bid on the contracts and they all had to have no less than 1 year experience to even apply for a contract. I know most of them personally with the exception of sun-j who is a former blm employee from the horse program. The facts elude you congrats you don't know what your talking about. If you get caught chasing mustangs your going to prison, unless of course it is decided by the government that they need to be managed they can't be touched. Or seen running away from you. Basically if your out driving down a dirt road and they are seen running in front of you you could be guilty of a felony so don't speed up to get a better look, in fact blm suggests you stop completely and wait.

@@toniakreis1606 furthermore to protect this animal only to watch them starve to death is absurd, maybe you don't live in the west but surely you have heard that we are faced with drought conditions. What this means for the desert land where most of these horses live is no rain, no water no life source. No grass grows when no rain falls and the grass that does grow in the spring is dead or dying already from lack of water this leaves the land baren and blowing dust and dirt. The horses won't survive its a guarantee I promise. But what do you know about how horses suffer trying to survive on sage brush, probably one of the reasons the blm is struggling to keep them alive is cause at some point their condition is irreversible. Check the daily data logs from pancake complex gather I'm guessing but I'm pretty sure the majority of horses that died from that gather were put down cause their condition was too poor and likely to not improve. In commonsense terms they had already starved to death the damages caused from the ulcers in their stomach was beyond repair. This happens when horses can't find decent forage their stomach responds with an acid indigestion that eats them alive from the inside. So yes one colt had a broken leg the pilot did his best to maneuver around him once he noticed but things like this happen occasionally what is uncommon until people like you showed up with all your ideas and no actually knowledge. Is the skin and bones suffering horses who likely have destroyed their insides with ulcers from acid eating their insides when they can't find the feed that doesn't exist anymore.

The BLM needs to be charged with animal cruelty, if this was an individual they would be charged but a government agency gets to be as cruel as they like. Leave the mustangs alone! This is so cattle ranchers can put their cattle out to graze on the same lands and is o lot about grazing fees not the welfare of the horses. It’s disgusting what’s being done.

This is an animal that man has bonded with, gone to wars with, pioneered with, explored new lands with. For thousands of years, horses have been alongside man as a crucial aid, companion, warrior and friend. This should NOT be happening to them.

The sad thing is, I wrote a piece on this same deal 20 years ago on Care2 petition site. I can't remember who asked to publish it. I was heartbroken and disgusted. I feel as helpless now, as I did then to do anything but watch our government once again MISHANDLE THEIR AUTHORITY. Meanwhile, look who suffers. The symbol of America - Wild Mustangs being slaughtered by the hundreds. Every year. At this point, prayers are about ALL we can offer these sad hostages. Rest well, little foal and others like you, not photographed or filmed, just forgotten.

[@williamwaha3193]

What did you expect ? B.L.M. / Bureau of Land Management Department Head had stated many times over the years that the , " Best possible use for these horses is for the U.S., to reopen slaughter facilities just for the disposal of these horses " . The people " in charge " want rid of them , none in the wild and none in adoption . In the wild these horses are called ' Mustangs ' in private hands the Government calls them ' feral horses ' , there's a push and has been for decades even in Australia and New Zealand as well as the U.S., to eradicate ' feral species ' . For the Australians it's rabbits , for New Zealand it's goats and cows , for the U.S., it's these horses grazing Government Lands that the Government gets paid for cattle grazing rights . Various Senators even back in the 1960's - 1970's - 1980's have gotten Laws passed to protect these horses yet B.L.M., does it does to eliminate them , they adopt out very few of them . Most of these ' rounded up ' horses will live their entire lives in B.L.M., holding facilities and some of them were born in these yards .

[@kscott1657]

Yeah they say government lands but it's not government lands it was Indian lands in the first place and the horses ran free all these years now they decide they want to stick them in a pan and sell them or kill them sounds something like what we've been going through doesn't it mysterious sicknesses all of a sudden the people in charge of this is going to hell I'll keep praying God bless you.

Contact your reps in government and the BLM! Tell everyone you know. I've been trying to raise awareness but hardly anyone seems to care or pay attention for long. They're being rounded up so that cattle ranchers can keep destroying our lands. And wild horses are NOT starving out there, that's another lie being told so that they can keep removing them from our lands. When herds are broken up, that hurts the herd itself because it's a specific hierarchy. And helicopters don't need to be used. That's long been a cruel thing that has taken the lives of countless horses. These are OUR wild horses! Oh and be sure to remind people that WE pay for this cruelty with our tax money! These roundups have accelerated under the leadership of Deb Haaland, head of the Dept of the Interior, so definitely contact her as well! Our horses need your voice!

When I was 18 i adopted 2 of these wild mustangs they rounded up. It was so sad. They were beautiful horses but wild. I took them back up to Sonora in California and put them in the wild pasture. They were rounded up I’m the Sierra Nevada so they weren’t far from where the came from. I was able to spend hours with one of them one on one every day. Eventually got a harness as lead on her and we walked in the mountains and I picked blackberries for her. She enjoyed them very much. When it was hot o took her to a creek and she loved to tread in it. The other horse spooked to much and I know it was bc of The Who bought her. He was so stupid. He’s get a white shirt and fly it around her and wonder why she feared up and ran. I left there and found my horse a good home on acres of land she can just graze and be at peace. O wish they quit rounding up horses bc they really are separating families.I’m just an animal lover and would buy and set free every wild animal that’s put in captivity. And that includes the live lobster on the store of it wouldn’t be caught again. Lol.

There are too many of them they are rounding up because they are eating all the vegetation near waterways making it difficult for elk, deer, buffalo, antelope to compete. We can kill the other animals but horse is illegal.

[@marialindell9874]

Basically the American mass production meat industry (pigs, cattle) is paying the BLM to round up as many horses as they can, so the mass production farms get more space to expand. Equestrians have these "events/challenges" of adopting a mustang and taming it in two months for a price. The general rule of adopting is that you have to own the horse for a year before you can sell it forward. The horses adopted this way usually get sold to the meat industry.
