The Focus on Wild Horses Distracts From the Massive Damage Caused by
the Livestock Industry
For 50 years I have heard people like Erik Molvar say livestock are
ruining public lands in the west!
There is more wildlife now than 50 years ago and far more
than in the early eighteen hundreds when there were few cattle.
Just read the journals from explorers in the high desert and
the Great Basin. Erik
Molvar and others like him are attempting to change public lands
into something they never were.

Joanna Grossman: Failed BLM policies, not wild horses, are
destroying the landscape
Poll after poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly cherish horses
and support protecting them from harm. That belief is reflected in
the landmark Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, federal
legislation that mandates these animals be “protected from capture …
harassment or death” due to their unique status as “living symbols
of … the West.”
Unfortunately the BLM has to deal with reality, not a belief. The
wild horse and burro act of 1971 is based on belief and, as almost
50 years of experience has shown, does not work in the real world.
