Unfortunately as horses cannot be slaughtered in the USA, tens of thousands are annually exported into Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered there. The transportation is unsupervised and slaughter, especially in Mexico, is often very brutal. Out of sentimental reasons Congress didn't allocate money for the supervised slaughter of horses in the States like for cattle and the results are inhumane.
That is true. I don't want to see horses slaughtered. But I also don't want them to be crammed on the trucks and hauled thousands of miles and suffer a terrible death. At least in the USA there are guidelines and laws and some regulation of the slaughter industry.
@@tony98discovery Not here in the USA, but back in Bavaria/Germany I would occasionally eat horse sausage. I had horses there, too, and when one had to be put down, I called the local horse butcher, the horse would be slaughtered right there on the farm and then , after a very short drive, be processed in his facility. The European Union meanwhile has restricted distances that livestock is allowed to be transported to slaughter facilities to only a few hundred kilometers. Our system does not only create inhumane conditions for horses, but for cattle , hogs and even poultry, too. Think about the so-called downers among transported cattle. This whole system needs to be de-centralized again, not just for the benefit of the animals, but also for the farmers and ranchers who now are at the mercy of a handful of huge processors. It's not right when four or five big companies control 80% of the meat market. I have lived in the USA now for 31 years and all of my horses that died ended their lives here on the farm.
@@klauskarbaumer6302 Too many drugs in horses. It’s also been proven that it’s highly ineffective to kill horses the same way they do cows. They suffer greatly. I know other countries will consume horses, but I don’t ever see Americans doing it. Heck, they’re wanting us to switch to bugs!!!! 🤮
@@k.wilki0392 I am not suggesting that Americans should start eating horses, but I know that present policies inflict more harm on horses than if slaughtering horses in the USA were permitted, regulated and supervised. In this case, like in some others, the US could learn from Europe, where distances that livestock can be transported is regulated and horse slaughter facilities are not so far apart.

@ohazofficial7146 Can you please point out ANY part of this video that implies anyone helping any horses. I must be missing everything about this content. Appreciate you explaining the helping of people in this video. Ty
They make a beautiful herd. I love horses .I'ts great to see that horses are still wild and free without human intervention. I've seen Mustangs in Oregon.
There's a big distinction between these large horse ranches and the wild horse populations. Many of the wild horses are starving to death, especially in the south west where there is such a severe drought.
Tony 98... the video of the mare keeping other horses away from her foal is probably not how you described it. The stallions are trying to breed the mare. It's called foal heat. Mares can get pregnant with another foal within about the first 2 weeks after foaling. Also, since in the wild, there may be a reason she's keeping other horses away, is because there could be something wrong with the foal. Stallions have an instinct about them that if they sense there is something wrong with the foal, they will grab it by the neck and shake and toss it to kill it. They will also strike the foal with it's hooves until it dies. I suspect that is what is happening here.
Corn and soybeans are not exactly good for horses as a main feed. Also I noticed the wild horses had better weight on them than the farm horses. I could see a lot of backbone on farm horses.
We completely agree that each horse deserves care and attention. Every horse is different, and it's important to take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities.
A friend of mine raised bison. They are magnificent creatures. But they are very hard to manage because they walk through regular fencing. They require special care. When there was a forest fire and they had to evacuate literally the only place to take the bison was the local rodeo grounds in the rodeo arena itself because it was the only thing that had bars strong enough to hold them in.
@@tony98discovery yes. Only once though. We went to visit because they had a calf that the mother rejected. It was her first calf, and she had no idea what to do with it. So they kept it away from the rest of the herd till it was big enough to integrate in. it was great to pull up in the driveway and have a little buffalo come running out to you :-) when she hit about 800 pounds they put her in with the rest of the herd but until then she was just a big yard pet.
@@tony98discovery well, they were kept like cattle. so it is a business. They do send them off to slaughter. But they also care about the animals. but their share size makes them extremely dangerous and they never really do tame down. that little one was back to being a wild buffalo within a week of heading back into the herd. Which is what she was meant to be.
Supporting small family farm and give incentives to those who use draft horse in farm will not only save millions of horses but also for minimizing soil erosion, independence from oil, and supports local jobs for both ranchers, horse trainers and veterinarians.
We strive to maintain top-notch facilities on our horse farms, and we're glad that you find them incredible. It's important to have a safe and comfortable environment for both horses and staff.
I agree, there are many passionate and dedicated horse breeders out there who are working hard to continue the tradition of responsible and sustainable breeding practices.
The dedication and expertise of horse breeders is indeed impressive, and their hard work and knowledge is essential for the continued success of the horse industry.
The herds of wild horses are indeed a symbol of the region's history and natural beauty, and they hold significance as part of America's cultural heritage. We appreciate the value of preserving and protecting wild horses for future generations, and we may share content that promotes their conservation and appreciation.
We completely agree that the dedication and hard work of these ranchers is truly admirable. They put in countless hours of work to ensure the health and well-being of their horses.
@@tony98discovery I have seen them in Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. I can drive about an hour from my house and find some here in south eastern Washington state. I know that there are wild herds in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Montana.
We couldn't agree more that it's important to balance horse breeding with conservation efforts for wild horses. It's crucial to maintain a healthy population of wild horses while still allowing the industry to thrive.
It's heartbreaking to think of horses being raised for slaughter. These beautiful creatures deserve better.
I suppose wild animals in Africa will meet harsher death by Lions and such.
I kind of like these animals aren't being hunted daily by their predators.
@@DwayndibbVidsYou really don’t get it, do you? 🙄
American law forbids horse slaughter. Please, stop thinking of that.
This was such an interesting documentary! The fact that American ranchers raise 9.2 million horses is mind-blowing. I’d love to visit a ranch someday!

Beautiful footage. Magnificent creatures. You are so lucky to have these animals to share the earth with.
Have you seen the horses out there?
How did the horses get to America
What a beautiful documentary! Thank Tony.
Have you ever been to a horse farm?
Nothing more beautiful than freedom and peace
Yes, the beauty of wild horses needs to be preserved
This is actually rather informative for people who do not know about the wild horses
Have you ever seen a horse outside?
The title is "raise" and "farming" rather than "wild horses."
One of the best horse documentaries I've seen. Thanks.
Have you ever ridden a horse?
This was really beautiful to watch. Some lovely people helping the horses.

No. I do not like wild horses. Nether horses for nothing. I like race horses, coach horses and cow horses only.
Horses possess an incredible amount of power and elegance. No wonder they captivated our hearts.
Hi
Incredible footage and insight into the private lives of these amazing horses.
Are there horse farms where you live?
I see wild horses everyday while driving to work. They are beautiful
In which US state do you meet horses?
So majestic. I hope to see them in person one day!
How do you see the process of raising horses at American horse farms?
The horse races that take place there are loved and awaited by many horse enthusiasts

@@jerritrahan9149 What is the use of the farm horses? Is it worth farming horses?

You really like horses, don't you?
Seeing wild horses on the farm is a reminder of the beauty of horses in their natural habitat.
It's fascinating to see the amount of care and attention given to each horse.
We completely agree that each horse deserves care and attention. Every horse is different, and it's important to take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities.
I grew up around horses and cattle and my dream is to have property to own my own one day.
