To Mustang man, I appreciate that you bring up overpopulation of wild horses on range land because as they are fenced into less and less land, of course there will not be enough resources to go around. Whenever we fence an animal in - we have to take responsibility to see that it gets enough resources. The BLM is a land management agency, not a wild - life or horse management agency. Not all horses will be able to remain on all ranges - but land should be restored and non-biased studies.

The wild horses haven't done anything wrong. They use some water and graze that is wanted by other special interest groups. The cattle industry has a strong hold on the BLM and even though they pay minimally for the impact of their cattle, The BLM profits from that industry so they don't protect the horses as they are lawfully required to do. The BLM has systematically taken away land that was hard won and legally declared as range for the horses. Wild Horses In Wiinds of Change.

If you'd like to help spread the word about what's happening to America's wild horses in the hands of the BLM please check out the blog spot for the thirty minute call to action film. Wild Horses In Winds of Change is now available for groups and individuals to show in their area for the purpose of raising awareness and calling more people to come to the aid of the horses. In a soulful tribute to America's wild horses, this film is a wake up call to what's gone wrong with ideas of how to help

Please keep brain-storming about how you and people who you are connected to can help the horses. I've discovered a prevailing bias of disdain for the wild horses, among many people, not just the BLM, so those of us who understand their lives in the wild, need to continue to educate others about the low impact the wild horse actually has on range land. That said, because they are fenced in, they will over-populate areas if they are not managed. Private -public partnership is a good start.

Buying land in Nevada or anywhere that borders BLM land could be one solution to helps save wild horses. Maeline Pickens has a strong commitment to this cause but is faced with lots of resistance from the ranchers as well as the BLM. What we have is a Shindler's list for horses that have been rounded-up. Return to Freedom is also among groups trying to save as many as they can. We all need to help one another, like the wild horses help each other. That's key to survival for all.

its harsh that the animals are destroyed but the BLM normally weed out the very old and the sick.. and by doing that they reduce the pop down to a good amount keep the recources and the herd becomes stronger so its a good thing actually

See comment above. Gate cuts are non-selective, random and inhumane. Families and long term friendship bonds are forced apart as well as foals from their mothers.

Using a helicopter is a lazy inhumane method of rounding up animals. Try that with rounding up illegals and see what kind of law suite you'd get into. BLM claiming to have no power and just be doing thier jobs is about as compelling argument as any hit-man using that exscuse for killing people. Doesn't fly. If they can't be productive members of our country with real jobs, instead of stealing natural resources from us while on federal payroll, they should be zero'd out, not our horses.

The wild horses were perfectly happy. There was no need to round them up.

The BLM. Another worthless government agency who obviously caters to cattle ranching on public lands. Maybe that's why the natural ranges in much of the west are so overgrazed and barren. And I believe they secretly withold water from wild horses by restricting access to natural springs and streams that are found throughout the west, trying to make it even more difficult for the horses to survive.

Disturbing video. Also takes place in Montana. I hope everyone realizes the timeless majesty of these wild mustangs of ours. What a rare gift we have in the horses. Also, I just finished reading a GREAT book, a novel on the subject of horse slaughter during the 1930s (fiction). The title is 'The Last Good Horse' by David Martin Anderson. I encourage everyone to go to the website, TheLastGoodHorse, and/or read the author interview posted to YouTube (search under the author's full name).

Just leave them alone!!!! We don't need to manage everything. Damn government!

[TheMustangStories]

Why do they have to chase the mustangs miles and miles just to go into the trap? why removing them off the land? If the mustangs in the wild are skinny catch them and release them where there is food and water?! I just dont get it they have done nothing wrong!

This makes me sick, I decided to visit a pen where the horses were kept just a few miles from town (reno) and they keep hundreds of horses in the harsh sunlight cramped together. They were the last symbol of the wild west, and now they live to either be adopted or turned into glue. I HATE the BLM for this, I hope a horse kicks every last one of them in the face
