Those who want to rewild have lost touch with nature! Just look

Some are shooting the
starving horses to keep them from dying a long painful death. Other
are attempting to save the starving horses. One way is helping
nature balance an over population of horses. The other way is
ignoring nature and making future problems worse and with more
horses starving and suffering. Those saving the horses are not
concerned about the horses, other game or the range, they are
selfishly trying to stop the emotional pain they feel, damn the
consequences.

History in Focus: Sand Wash horses a
living icon
This isn’t a focus on
history. It is promoting the myths surrounding todays so called
wild horses and rewriting history to fit the myths. In the third
paragraph, “they were rounded up, branded, and broken to become
saddle horses.” Next it says, “efforts to trap the wild mustangs
were ineffective.” They called it right the first time. The old
timers were good hand and knew how to gather wild horses, or more
accurately free-roaming horses.

A must read for all wild
horse advocates! You want to rescue wild horses? Do it on your own
dime! Don’t warehouse them on public lands, in corrals or on rented
pastures. The Wild Horse and Burro Program should sell all excess
animals. You wild horse advocates have the same opportunity to buy
those horses and burros as kill buyers.

8-30-2018
Climate change in the west
and fast-growing free-roaming horse herds are creating real problems
for the range they run on. The range is suffering and the horses
are suffering as well as other wildlife. We need to remove the
horses to preserve the range and stop the suffering.

Nature’s way to control the
population of wildlife is to let them die of starvation and
thirst. If you don’t want the horses to die from lack of food and
water let the BLM do their job and manage them. By feeding and
watering the wildlife you are creating higher levels of
overpopulation that will show you what real overgrazing looks
like. Our rangelands will pay the price.

the animals, horses in this case.
