Real life problem is greedy people.
And that can easily pertain to Wild horse activist, that dont understand the issues and judge based on emotional misinformation.
@@TightwadTodd oh please! stop the fake lectures, there is not a horse problem at all they are being used as scapegoats for the cattle industry, the cattle far out number any horses and do a lot more damage to the land and yes it is about greed. I'm no activist but anyone with half a brain can see it's all about cattle don't need emotion to figure that out
@@TightwadTodd The wild horse activists aren’t the greedy ones, it’s those using BLM land and the subsidized meat industries.
Cattle manure fors NOT reseed THE LAND and destroys it!!! Horses does reseed and their grazing doesn't destroy lants like cattle!!
"I think that the whole world owes a lot to the horse". Amen!!! 👍🐎🐎
Let them fly free😢
Yeah, the chopper's ready to take off
@@edoardocastelnovi7154 Enough with roundups wit choppers.
Great story but you should tell the honest truth about where these wild horses go ! Slaughter ! Please do all your research
Exactly.
Something you may cover is the wild horses and prisoners program several states have the program people made movie about the program The Mustang is one movie the program changes the horse and prisoners and it reduces the recidivism rate and protect the public I ask you to look into the program
If you can spend millions of dollars for controlling these houses why can't you use some of the money to plant some sort of grass in different places that would help
To rehabilitate the land, the animals need to be off it for a couple of years. This is what they have to do when a forest fire goes through an HMA
Great report! A deeper dig into the challenge could include what could be adjusted in land management via the Savory Institute knowledge and potential management plan compared to the BLM formula of acres per animal. Currently it is a competition between wild horses and livestock. Genetic DNA studies have determined that the horses the Nez Perce tribe has traditionally raised originated in East Aisa rather than bloodlines of the Spanish Conquistadors. Lewis and Clark noted that the Nez Perce had 10s of thousands of horses when they met them. They were used for transportation and as livestock for food. There is much more to this story to be looked into. Hope you are able to do so Meg.
2000 year old horse skeleton were found on this continent in the early years of this century. The native say the horses have been here forever
This was very informative and done very well. I am for the controlling of the fertilization of the mares- it seems the most responsible way to take care of our beautiful wild horse friends and the ranchers- both are important to all our lives!
except that it doesn't work well, it can 'run out,' and cause mares to foal in the fall & winter, and if they're talking about spaying them, that is a level of cruelty few of us can imagine (hint, it's not at all like with your pet cat or dog)
Google official wild horse fire brigade, and set the mustangs free as they direct, where humans will leave them alone
Its only a problem to ranchers. Proper round ups and adoptions can control this and keep herds in check. Money is allocated for this. They were there before the cattle.
Why american have the attitude towards horse meat like himdus attitude towards cow meat? what is your basis? conservation? christianity? or just your feeling?
It is not just the ranchers that are asking for management. Environmentalists and advocates for threatened and endangered species are also asking, as ecosystems begin to collapse.
Exactly! Hard to be an animal activist if what you are pushing for destroys more than it fixes.
yes its like if here in iowa where i live if we didnt hunt and deer within acouple years they would over populate then spread more diseases. instead of spending all that money to capture them just do what nobody wants to say and thin the heards. there not even native to america if they werent horses but were somthing else they would be treated like feral hogs and coyotes open season very little regs on methods of taking
Let's just let The Wild Horses be and control The Cattle. Ranchers need to control their herds. Let The Horses be❤
Is it a problem or does our tyrant government want us dependent on cars
Hay I am from Pakistan how I can addope hourse from you
Horses are not destroying the land. This is a lie. Horses travel they feed wolves coyotes bears. Sheep and horses graze differently. There are approximately 28 thousand wild horses on public lands. And aproximately 15 million head of sheep and cattle. You tell me where the damage is coming from.
Only a problem if people are corrupt 😭
Reading this title immediately cause the flashback to the Portlandia episode, last season, capitalizing on the terrors of wild horses in middle America; topographically distant from the plush comforts of plush, though not to scale*, pillows, embossed with female anatomy, the safe space known as "women and women first"
*percluding the anomalous counting of those with elephantitis of said anatomy
What does all of that even mean?. If you believe the propaganda then that is your problem. Learn something from someone beside ranchers and the BLM. There is NO wild, indigenous horse problem. It is about ranchers wanting it all for cheap. We spend millions every year so they profit more. It is insanity.
More earmarked dollars towards safety and supervision for the uncontrolled populations and less about the private land owners, please.
Sorry sir... private landowners is where you get your food. They come first in my book, because I like to eat.
@@justme-6695 And many of us Don't eat meat and don't believe the ranchers should come first- $$$
And 12 million in california goes to a certain race a little dicey i say
Never knew this was an issue
It's not. Wolves or bears, yes, but over population of horses? U gotta be sick in the head to want to control the wild horse population... SMH
Horses are NOT the issue. Equus developed here in North America. making them indigenous. They are not all from Spanish and Asian lines.This is propaganda all from the Bureau of Land Management and it about ranchers unwilling to share grazing and want the horses gone. Americans pay millions every year so that ranchers get cheap grazing to put money money in their pockets. They have zeroed out herds entirely and done many where there will be no life goals and when they die the herd has ended. It is awful. Learn more. Cattle and sheep are destroying the land scientists that are independent say the same. BLM scientists says that horses are the problem. The horses are absolutely not the problem and again Equus was developed here in North America. They are indigenous. Meanwhile because ranchers don’t like them, all predators are killed on our public land.
Can I have a few of those horses since y'all gonna most likely slaughter them anyways?
They were there before you guys leave them be
Lies. There is plenty of empty land nobody is even using. Lies.
Further back mustangs travel back and forth to usa
The cattle do not belong there .. period.
Send some of the extra horses to India🇮🇳. We will take care of them
Farmers and ranchers are feeding America the wild horses are not so think about it
I mean, feral horses are edible. 😂
The horses built the nation. They deserve to live. This is a rich country.
@@sagunsingh7415 read Leviticus . Horses are not created to be eaten.
Turn them into Burgers. Like everything else here in America.
Open a hunting season on them the government would not have to pay people they can make money off of the d*** problem
There's only 28,000 wild horses on public land. There are 15million sheep and cattle the horses are not the problem. They get so many rounded up yearly and this keeps the herds in check. But cattlemen and sheep farmers increase their herds. This is what damages the land. Sheep eat grass to the roots. Cattlemen are over grazing. I like to eat too. But 28,000. Innocent animals aren't going to die because of it. There is no need. They aren't the problem.
No wild horses they are feral learn the difference I am a horse person but this out of control
Not feral. Tamu has tested them for many years, leaving out native genetics. Skewed the data 💔. They are indigenous. Feral is a myth
@@heathermcmurray5590 your wrong
Equus developed in North America and where horses originated. Some did in Asia about the same time. Sure many domesticated horses mixed but that does not denigrate the native wild horse who has always been here. They aes indigenous.
if only each State would take a few of these horse's then the cruelty would end. no more blm reign of terror. Jesus make it happen please. thank you. amen. Pray everyone.
Many people adopt them. There is NO over population of horses. This is propaganda brought to you from the Bureau of Land Management.
You need to learn about it. These horses live in the west for a reason and have acclimated there since the beginning of time. This is not about the horses. This is about ranchers that want every blade of grass and every drop of water and want nothing there but cattle and sheep.
A great resource gone to waste. The mares should be breed to mammoth donkeys every couple years. As well as breeding up the stock so that it would be something people would want to adopt.
Mustangs are not wild animals, they are feral invasive species
No they are not. We are.
First come, first serve.
Horses were here first, it's their ground
Horses were not here before the native animals and grasses. The Conquistadors, European settlers, and the U.S. Cavalry brought them to these arid western states.
All Feral horses on this continent and the Greater Western States, can be traced to domestic herd ownership.
It Was A Free-Roaming Wild Mustang Horses in United States.
