War on Wild Horses & Burros

[claoufaeng]

I'm English, how can I help?

[claoufaeng]

@KamatzKatan They will have evolved to survive on minimal water, which they can then get from their food, esp. if any there are descended from Arabs.

[manoroaks]

4 years have passed, it is urgent that people stop these cruel roundups. Please act now

[guitargirlcc]

If u want to stop BLMs round ups message meh at cele_calvillo@yahoo.com. Plz. These horses need us to speak for them. Plz this is a cruel act thats not right!!!!!

[beefchops2011]

Horses came in with Spanish explorers several hundred years ago. From the Civil War era to WWI, the government often added top Morgan, Arabian, and Thoroughbred blood to make good mount horses for wars, and farmers often tried to improve herds with their best stallions as well.

Now, cattlemen angry with government interference want them gone. Sagebrush Rebllion. And of course sense there are many cattlemen involved with the BML, we can all see where that is heading.

This is so very sad. I hope everyone read's David Martin Anderson's latest novel, THE LAST GOOD HORSE, which just got released (available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble). The plot is set in 1939 Montana and has to do with the slaughter of the last great mustang herds. Great story! Also, check out the author interview on YouTube (search by the author's full name).

I feel that privately owned livestock should not be allowed on public land. I pay taxes to help support that land and I want to see the wild horses on it. Not cattle belonging to some greedy ahole rancher that wants all the horses removed so he can put even more cattle on the land. We americans have a say in this. It is our taxes that pay for maintaining the land and the animals on it. Lets tell the goverment that we want to pay for public horses, not private cattle!!

[SpringReinsofHope]

this genocide on wild horses & burros has NOTHING to do with land, starvation or cattle grazing...period... it has EVERYTHING to do with natural gas pipeline & fracking thousands more holes into the earth (is this safe? see GasLand)...so the greediest oil companies can be even more wealthy... we have plenty of sun, wind & water to power this country & world - problem is - the oil industry cant hoard that money...OUR lands, OUR horses, oh yeah its OUR money they use to round up! CORRUPT ENOUGH!

[GinkitsuneYasha]

Honestly it has come to the point, that almost ALL HUMANS (Though there are a great some out there that are not like so), have came to the point, they only care about money, and what makes money, which is the cattle. They no longer care about one of the greatest symbols of the word and what help created America as we know it today. And that is the horses themselves, people only want money and possions these days which is really sad :(

This is a free petition to hold off the 2011 roundup, but i ts just around the corner and we need more signs! Heres the link-

[marjorief00]

At last, a video balancing the horrific conditions of roundup, for both the burro and mustang. The burros are very under represented by advocates, and their situation is far more dire, as you could see from the numbers, than the mustangs. Clearly, the situation is reaching critical mass. The BLM under the authority of the DOI is managing our mustangs and burros to extinction.

[stormwings1]

...The Spirit of the Horse, is the single most powerful symbol of ~ Freedom, to the human psyche there will EVER be. The slaughter of the horse is, thus, part of the governments ~ deliberate ~ plan to crush what is left of this liberating essence. Without the inspiring presence of the Equine , we are doomed.

[stormwings1]

Is it not time, that the people stopped referring to government laws , as though by reasoning or argument with the makers of these rules, they will be justly altered. We are on a planet, run by highly corrupt, ruthless, sociopathic personalities, who, to make matters infinitely worse, practice dark occultism to maintain their strangle hold over the rest of humanity.

[calniper]

Fucking white people always destroying nature with their fucking greed.

I wish the white devil never came to our lands, our america our native america without black or white people.

[timzsu]

Shame on the USA. Such a hypocrite government : protectors of all goodness all over the Wold (even with guns) but look what happend and happens with the original population (human and non human) of theire land.

[CandyDoqui]

depredando estos hermosos animales para alimentar a los que estan en cautiverio en los zoologicos,

[unlookful252]

I'm confused,If the horses are staving then why do they put cows out to graze? if there's no food for horses(Which are far better at getting nutrition from food then cows) what make anyone think that cows wont starve? The horse granted may not be native but have survived without people for 500 years. They were here before the the cattle and even the farmers ansectors! They if anything should have some kind of seniority. The population at one time was over 4 million i think 33000 isn't gonna hurt

[azglassblaster]

They're not starving. This is the BLM lie used to remove wild horses. Since all the photos show well fed wild horses, the BLM then says they have to remove them incase of "future" starvation. They have crystal balls you know.

[tgltyty]

horses ARE native to America. they first came to existence 1.4 million years ago in North America than spread over the world. They were hunted to extinction here in the US. about 15,000 years ago.

[TheWildhorses10]

BLM - WMD, tobacco, war in Irag from 9-11, etc, etc. remember those?

BLM - Bloody Lies and Mismanagment

The BLM lies have been found out - go to The Cloud Foundation to save the horses. Read the information, listen to the radio spots of first had accounts, see the wild horses and thier habitat with your own eyes at PBS: Nature: Cloud.

[sunlei5]

THE BLM SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH CRIMES FOR ALL THE MILLIONS OF MUSTANGS THEY HAVE KILLED IN ROUND UPS AND SENT TP SLAUGHTER USING THAT Conrad Burns- "SALE AUTHORITY" SHAM!!!

[kitzkamp]

You are apparently misinformed. Our wild horses have been proven to be genetically identical to those that once roamed the North American continent prior to extinction. Read more about it: Wild Horses as Native North American Wildlife, Jay F. Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. and Patricia M. Fazio, Ph.D. Distributed March 2, 2005.

[bonkadoo]

Protect our Wild horses and the mustangs!

[gotduckz]

I cant stand what the BLM is doing. I think they should be protected.

[daffybaxter]

Wild horses belong on the range.They are not "feral" unless they are released domestics.25,000 wild horses do not "devastate" native plants, but 4 million cattle do.Commercial grazers, mining and timber interests are pushing wild horses out of their designated HMA's. I've worked with these intelligent animals for years, gentling and training them for adoption. Too bad the horses can't pay lobbiests.

[daffybaxter]

Wild horses belong on the range. They are not "feral" unless they are released domestics. 25,000 wild horses do not "devastate" native plants, but I bet that 4 million cattle do.

Too bad the horses can't pay lobbiests like the commercial grazers do!

[JerseyRenegade]

When any domestic species becomes part of an established ecosystem they are classified as feral as we all know.A domestic species that breeds,feeds and thrives in the wild is only feral for about 4 generations after it has grown independant of human care.The wild horse has become part of an intricate ecosystem for over 500 years and contributes more to that system than most categorized native species.There are those of you who believe that once feral always feral.You are misinformed!

[shelmarie82]

After watching a couple of videos i found last night, about Pres. Bush wanting the oil, I understand a little better why most of our wild horses are being held in captivity. Maybe once he's out of office, the new Pres. will let them be returned home. (We can only pray)

[azglassblaster]

It's actually gotten worse, Obama appointed a former rancher to head the DOI and the BLM is using Stimulus Money to remove entire herds now. So much for that change we were hoping for.

[VoluntaryInstinct]

The worst part, out taxes are actually paying for this government sanctioned wild life extermination.

[JerseyRenegade]

In addition to that an even more stark reality is that the adoption program coupled with the management program is promoting biased public opinion through propaganda that suits the Bureau of Land Managment,U.S.Fish Game and Wildlife,U.S.Forest Commission,and The U.S.Department of Agriculture's agendas.Those federal departments should be collectively cited and held fully accountable for their support of the eradication of the"PROTECTED"wild horse species.Beauracracy at it's best!

[bkwarner]

Now figures from BLM stats show there are only 13,500 wild horses running free in all the West. They are being wiped out and now the BLM has proposed to kill 30,000 in captivity. This is an outrage. These wild horses have been here for hundreds of years and are a re-introduced native species. They must be left alone and captured ones returned to their herd areas before they become extinct. Stop the cruel, unnecessary and expensive roundsups.

[TakeOneOhOne]

The public needs to demand that our elected members of Congress cut off any future funding for the BLM, a now totally corrupt, immoral and dishonest agency, doing virtually nothing else of significance but misuse public tax money on actions that pollute and otherwise damage or destroy public lands and wildlife, while enriching corporate special interests, which is totally counter to its supposed mission of preserving public lands for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.

[cowgirlstar26]

yeah let them over populate and starve. wild horses there were once domestic riding/war horses from spain, they look like hell in the wild

[mirandayellow]

Oh yes and I suppose they should groomed and washed, because ALL WILD animals look that way? Get a clue, the wild is called WILD for a reason, there are no shampoos and clippers on hand. And you say they were once domestic?? And Gee, what were they BEFORE they were domestic? duh, they were wild, that is how they were able to adapt to being wild again so easily. And as far as overpopulating, what about natural predators? Unless BLM kills them too? Face it BLM is upsetting the balance of nature!

[azglassblaster]

I just replied to your private message to me, but I don't know if it went through. When I clicked 'send' an error message came up. Let me know if you got it.

[ben5017]

The BLM is an Illegal entity under the Founder's intents ... The federal govt role was never to take state land!

This is why the 14th amendment to the Constitution is an outright illegal revison!

Basically my premise is that Constitutionaly you would only have your state to deal with this issue if we had the rights intended!

The Civil war was never about freedom for slaves, rather it was promoted to push Central power of authority and take more of your life blood! Lesss federal govt is better

[jennglick100]

This is a wonderful video. Let the truth be known. These magnificant animals are being pushed off of our public lands. Many end up being butchered for human comsumption in foreign countries. Let us be their voices and speak out to protect them. We are their only

hope.

[bkwarner]

This video is excellent and nothing but the truth. OUR wild horses and burros are being wiped out for specail interests such as corporate ranchers, oil drillers, hunters and developers . They were supposed to have been protected but now many are even going to slaughter. The BLM under the Dept. of the Interior is corrupt IMO.

[PNFphotography]

War on Wild Mustangs and Burro this is not at all correct. Where did you get this information. I have watched the BLM in my state since 2003 and have seen no such thing.

[azglassblaster]

Facts and Photos don't lie. Your own photos show millions of acres of land, why are they bringing in those small bands? They're fat, healthy, there's plenty of forage, they've survived centuries in the wild without all this interference from man. Enjoy taking the photos you do while you can, too bad they are only of helicopters chasing them. They are reducing the numbers to below genetic viability, soon their excuse for removing even what's left will be "due to inbreeding."

[RileysGirl]

Thank you so much for putting this video together. You did a wonderful job!

Everyone, please click (more) "About This Video" at top right of the page and read the truths concerning BLM corruption. We can save America's wild horses and burros but not without a fight. They need our voices!

I can't thank you enough, azglassblaster. Your hard work is appreciated!

[azglassblaster]

Thank you RileysGirl, I am going to fix it, some of the text pages fly by too fast. I will get it perfected soon.

[wyowatcher]

We all need to see this video and speak up before they're all gone.
