Re: commenting on A.B. says these are not wild horses? Feral horses instead? Anybody else out there want to comment on that? This party really doesn’t know what they are talking about.. they’ve been on our lands for as long I can remember. Wild is Wild..They belong on these lands. Really thinks all of this is exaggerated? This party really sounds like he’s got some perception issues.

There is nothing more beautifull than Wild Horses Running Free (not being chased) It fills you with a sense of Freedom that is unparrelled.

Let’s get one thing straight…these are NOT wild horses. There is no such thing as a wild horse in North America. These are FERAL horses. Regardless of how beautiful they are, they are not a native species and not only damage public lands with their grazing and hooves, but take food away from animals that ARE native to the area. As such, just like other feral species (pigs, green iguanas, etc.), they need to be removed so as not to affect our native species.

We have one group’s comments that say this is being done humanely. We all know there are many extremist groups that exaggerate what is going in in today’s world. Has this group contacted local humane societies to monitor the round-ups or given them videos of what they are seeing? These are the folks who can assist with animal cruelty.

I totally agree with Jan. These horses are rounded up and thousands are held in pens forever (with minimal adoptions. Sure looks like a inhumane hoarding practice to me and we taxpayers are footing the bill.

An interesting sidebar, word is out that BLM has recently appointed Callie Hendreickson, to the Wild Horse/Burro Advisory Board as General Public (horse) Advocate. Did anyone care/notice that she is pro-slaughter and anti-wild horses?? I would say the Bureau of Land Managemnt Agency is doing just a dandy job(not)!!!!!

I am outraged at the continued roundups and the horrible conditions these horses are put through by some RAMBO dude who thinks it’s great to run them down by his big boy toy copter.. This sickens me and I cannot believe this isn’t being handled better and or stopped by now?? There is some serious political moves going on here..
