Re: Naturally wild horses

As I said before, read Ginger's articles. The Cloud Foundation & others have many people who visit the wild horses, to photograph them & enjoy them in the wild.
Do you by any chance work for the BLM?

Re: Naturally wild horses

This is another group who are trying to preserve the wild horses.

Re: Naturally wild horses

Do we not have wild horses in the UK - Dartmoor, Exmoor and the New Forest?

Re: Naturally wild horses

Yes, but they are owned by farmers or people.
American wild horses are owned by all Americans, they are a public resource managed by the BLM, Bureau Of Land Management for all the people of America.

Re: Naturally wild horses

I have a suggestion for those hysterical activists. Let them buy a parcel of land, say 30 Km X 30 Km, fence it off, and then they may take responsibility for the horses contained within. When the population of the horses grows too large for that parcel, and the horses become diseased, and are dying of starvation, then perhaps they will learn something. But, I doubt that they will ever learn. Activists must always be right.

Re: Naturally wild horses

Thank you, Tiffany, I wasn't sure.

Re: Naturally wild horses

Some have already saved horses from the holding yards, those that have ample land & the wild horses they saved are roaming free. They look after them too.

For someone who seems to love horses you don't seem to care what happens to your countries wild population.

Re: Naturally wild horses

I read that the Ted Turner ranches had taken some of these horses .
One ranch took in 1000 mares and geldings .
So with no stallions these horses will live in a wild environment but will not breed .
As horses easily live until 20 years old it they will have 20 yeas of life .

Re: Naturally wild horses

The problem of surplus horses is widespread .
In the U.K. we have the disgraceful ‘wastage ‘ caused by overbreeding in the racehorse industry .
Many are sent to slaughter without ever racing for the pet food trade
We are a nation of animal lovers many cats and dogs .
I wonder how many people actually think about where their pet food comes from?

Re: Naturally wild horses

There are rescue places here that take in ex race horses & rehabilitate them to do other things like eventing & show jumping. I don't know how many, nor how many never get saved, but at least in this country we do slaughter horses humanely.
