Save Mustangs commentary by JAR

Wild Mustangs running free in Big Sky country are an iconic symbol of the pioneering spirit of the American West - But now... 40 years after the U.S. Congress agreed to protect Mustangs as a National Treasure, over 33,000 are headed for the slaughterhouse...

Hello jujucarroccio, thanks for your supporting words on and about this work that many like me and you believe in, a respect for life on this planet we call EARTH, other than our own. There are many opinions and concepts on and about a respect we should always have in our hearts and minds for Horses, Wild or not, for our relationship with Horses started with the Wild ones, like we once were, as Humans, Wild and Untamed, that is really when we were as FREE as we have ever been and will be again

Thank you 13127771, for your points about meat for eating and leather, they are good points and should not be taken off the table of consideration in how to manage and control their population. With some out of the box thinking and a bit of compassion mixed in with that thinking, the survival of this American and World Treasure the MUSTANG can and should be insured. This planet we call Mother Earth is not just a gift from the Great Spirit/GOD for the survival of Mankind, Peace be with U.

whos traditional lands are these horses on?? no doubt these horses cover several tribes original turf. therefore, technically, these horses belong to whichever tribes original lands theyre are running on. i dont buy that rez system stuff. its still native turf and they must reassert tribal authority in these regions in question. and half the white folks around would probably be relieved to have new leadership with a more humane community based outlook!

@acerb45666555 Sorry for the miss spellings was rushing to respond to you on a computer that has problems, this is what I was trying to say, like it or not, things are the way they are, and as it always does, it will take time, and work to correct or bring change to the problems facing these American Treasures, Wild Horses, MUSTANGS. The bottom Line at this time for their survival, is to do all we can to save them, if you have a way to save them, DO SO!!!, that is what I am about.

Beautiful words and heavenly wishes....

if only our President would listen.

I hope it won't be too late before someone will stop this destruction of lives that belong to the earth, to America, to the American people, not our government and not to greedy corporations.

Actually I always considered the bison to be the true spirit of the west but whatever.

Great video; interesting story and narration and great photography. Nice.

Were the 33,000 mustangs killed since you uploaded this video? They're sentient beings with families like humans. What is wrong with our civilization that kills and ruins Nature without a care.

@13127771

as what happens to our wild mustangs will also happen to humanity....when humans become old...do we take them to slaughter???? such a hard heart....

[jujucarroccio]

beautifully stated...elegant in his prose....thank you for all you have been doing.....

[13127771]

Why not slaughter a part of the herds? Mustangmeat is more palatable and value than any other kind of meat, their leather also!

The United States need more slaughterhouses for horses, not less. What is to do with the old horses? To carry them over hundreds os kilometers? NO!

[aquiladellanotte71]

it always made me cry to watch them run free.....they are a nature power....often I feel like them....I would like to run wild and free on the open land! I can't do much for them from Italy but we sure have to do all that we can to save them!

Wonderful video!
