People forget that half the country was built on the backs of horses

No other farmers use "public land!" Buy your own land and grow your herds! Farmers have no right to take horses lands!

Horses were born here, so they are citizens, right.

That is NOT AN OPTION!! Horses have a right to live. The sheep should live on private farms that are owned by the farmers! Don't suffer the horses to provide for the farmers!

320 million+ humans and back in the day USA had millions of buffalo but 95000 horses in the whole country is to much? Oh come on

*How about we human's stop having kids?*

And Ranchers are still wanting the horses gone even though they don’t graze or do as much damage as say cattle do.... I’d love to see how much damage other than in Australia horses have done to the environment in the United States.. like a before and after the fact of horse populations.

So when people mess with our wildlife and they stop seeing them they start crying that their getting extinct, it's a simple fix, just leave them alone, it's not hard

Stop the slaughter of horses and the brutality BLM ppl do to them !! The horses are precious. 💞🐎🏇

This is why I want to train wild horses and give them homes and take care of them

Colorado has already disseminated their wild horse areas to a token few areas such as what was highlighted in this story. Only 2.7% of all American ranchers have Federal land permits and even smaller fraction of that number on wild horse dedicated areas. The ranchers in this story struggling to get by are not the typical ranchers on Horse areas. Eg. Three horse areas in Oregon (1.7 million acres) have one permittee that has 97% of the allocation of forage to 3 % for the horses. Same in WY three horse areas with 1.4 million acres and the so called rancher who with their billions of dollars got a consent decree from the local court (judge is a ranchers wife) to completely have the horses in their area Zeroed out within 10 years or by 2024. Remember Wild Horses were given this land by law and for their "principal use". The story is more than what they say. The stories facts have been shown to be inconsistent and exaggerated. The livestock minded, (all animals are for $$) are salivating at the Stewarts amendment to release our wild horses for sale emass. They are rounding them up in record numbers even when they say they have to many in holding with the lie of overpopulation. This Excess song was written and directed by the billion dollar meat industry and they are afraid of the truth.

If the land can't handle the horses they'd be starving, and clearly that's not the case

These horses were here long before these farmers and sheep! Go buy your own land and graze YOUR ANIMALS on YOUR OWN LAND! The farmers in others parts of the US don’t bully their way onto BLM LANDS. How dare your come onto lands where these horses have been centuries and say, “There’s too many anything! I don’t come onto your property and say, “Well, there’s too many people on this property so we are going to slater 50% of them so we can have their portion!” Do you see how crazy this mind set has become?!!!

Let's not forget.... when people can't afford to care for their horses they turn them loose on the range.

Our American wildhorses and burros need to stay free and wild like they have always been!!!

Why don't they reintroduce jaguars in the west of the country? there used to be a lot of them there a long time ago and they would be good horse controllers.

Selling them for Slaughter that's disgusting..... I'm not surprised Americans want this

Who’s here for a writing prompt 😅

We wouldn't have this problem if gray wolves weren't hunted

i dont want horse to die in the past they did so much :(

She answered exactly how I would lol. Old school. I like her. "Oh it does. But whats a nip in the butt?"

why can't they move some of the horses to another area like the grand canyon or somewhere there is a big plot of land and people who love horses, if they start to slater horses it will only anger more people.

We are considering turning some excellent bloodline quarter horses loose with a few herds to help "improve" the existing herds. What's your thoughts!

Respect the horses. Leave them alone!!!!

public land should not be used by farmers, this is for the protected horses.

I do not understand why they would want to rid themselves of these animals while people pay a ton for thoroughbreds. The people buying horses should take the foals and also ones that can be broken. I think all horses can be broken. American Indians did this all the time. Furthermore even a thoroughbred needs to be broken to ride. Horses are a very smart animal and ultimately loves the socialization in the end of being broken and ridden. They love human interaction. When I was a boy a freaking deer followed deer followed me home for some reason and just would not go away. I went inside the house and when I came out a few hours later the freaking deer was standing at the front door on the lawn where I left him. This was confusing. I literally had to yell "go away!!!" So if a deer wanted to be friends for some bizarre reason I'm quite sure we could circulate the beautiful horses into the public quite easily and offer protection of a beautiful animal. Eventually I learned (when my father returned that the deer was young and likely lost his mom. So he imprinted on me immediately when he saw I was no threat and was nice to him. Once I patted his head that was it. Game on.

The way of life is not to murder horses

Horses helped people get around for 1000s of years.. and this people treat them like this??? Wtf

horses are just cows with faster running legs. so why are horses raised to a higher regard than cows.both living , grazing , animals. On the other hand horse hippies will say horses are smarter than cows. but pigs are one of the most slaughtered animal commercially and surpasses the intelligence of a horse , cow,and dog. with the the intellect of a 3 year old human this animal has hardly anyone defending them.either you care about all intellectual animals or your a wishy washy animal lover who only cares for animals that don't taste good . this is a petty argument to be made.

Of the few family ranchers left that share fed. land leases on a horse herd area called HMA could be contracted to watch over the herds. Much cheaper than rounding them up and stressing them out. (also the stress taking them does on the public). They could take data on the horses self regulation according to habitat conditions of each year. Even help with dna collection, how the horse interacts with other species etc.

Stop this obscene government!!! Sickening!

Start releasing lions or tigers out there lmao I know I’m three years late 🤣

I am not understanding why these ranchers can't round up stray horses and sell them for human consumption? the French, Italians, Canadians and many more cultures eat horses, I've never tried it, but I would. I grew up during the Quarter horse boom of the 70s and 80s; later on I went to Italy and France with the US Army, they eat horses without blinking an eye. I personally don't see anything wrong with it; it's about perception. Prior to horses and mules being utilized as "beast of burdens" cattle were used in the US and else where; there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating horses.

So what happened with the bill in 2018?

The human race is getting exactly what it deserves. #TeamThanos

you would be prosecuted for treating livestock like this

Would love to work on pieces like this

Ok imagine that you were one of the horses and farmers wanted to take down your home how would you feel same with horses they have the rights to roam around same with other animals

Are you allowed to buy a tag (similar to a hunting tag) and find a horse and break it into a work animal?

For the people who say horse's arent native they literally evolved in North America but became extinct when humans arrived.

Are this,civilised society.Is this???.

Why not capture stallions and geld them? In the long run it will save thousands of dollars, is a life long fix and it will help thin the herds.

What if they release packs of wolves where the wild horses are so they control the population naturally? Is that possible? It's just an idea

easy solution: sell them out of the US or give me all of them for free. lol.

Export them to other parts of the world.i mean countries with enough space and climate conditions.

Issue comes down to cattle ranchers killing wolves and wild Cats!

Wolves have hundred horses for hundreds of thousands of years in Eurasia and North America.

we need more natural predators.

Are there really any wild horses left today? Looks like everyone has turned a blind eye to protecting any of our wild resources.

It's 2022 what became was his horses and law?

Get horses and send them to different places there are people who want horses and would look after him I was crying and if something doesn't happen they will be killed

Jeez...Inner city people might pay just to have a chance to shoot a dart at the horses. Maybe the ladies could make some extra dollars and protect the horses at the same time by calling it an adventure vacation.

The horses aren't native to the land and struggled to survive here anyway, but the BLM has always been the horses worst enemy. They need to leave things alone and let nature take care of the horse population. The last thing they need is more money.

give them to other countries

Uhuu aren't horses invasive and brought to the us by the Spanish? Shouldn't invasive species not be protect?

guys can I ask question how the wild horse sleeps in the wild ❓🤔 did he sleep when he stands on his 4 feet or he set down and sleep like a lot of animals ! I'm just confused 😁

Put project irrigation in the middle of the land and water the grass

Wolves can controling their number

They’re not invasive species if they had been there before, horses roamed America just a couple thousand years ago, which is a tick of the clock in geological time, they’re just reintroduced species, but if they want to control their numbers just reintroduce lions, they used to roam here to🤷🏽‍♂️

they eat horses in many countries so it not like its not done anywhere

Author Morgan wouldn't stand for this

That is too brutal and you are will fully killing them and birth control and killing for animals food.shame shame.

please capture train and sell them to other countries

If you think about it. How can any person hurt something so beautiful? What is wrong with in this world ?

Pitiful

Eurasia horses are non native to the America's meaning they are an invasive species without any predators

Humanity has the same problem.

introducing more natural predators that once thrived there sounds like a good solution to me.

Keep all of them mustangs!!!!!!

Why are you trying to stop the population of wild horses? And when the times come when there are fewer horses you will again trying to raise the number. Im getting confused.

Poor hoses those two woman at minute 1:45 have the evil on their eyes

What about when the old horses die there will be a decrease of wild horse because mares wouldn't be able to breed

Are they supplementing the beef market with horse meat? 🤔

Greedy ranchers

Fake News!!!! Very Fake News!! Faker than Donald Trump's hair.

Wild life is controlled by a balance of both herbivores and carnivores .... humans need to introduce the balance of both to control the wild horse population. Although sterilization of horses is a good idea to control population without introducing compatible carnivores (wolves, bears and cougars) to help control the species.

Shamefully decesion

public land ranching isn't that old.

Why don’t they sale them

Horse leather is really stretchy for leather

Why not sell some of them to South East Asia racing clubs

Our Farmers feed us, keep that in mind.

How about we leave them alone. There's so much unoccupied land in the United States. But ranchers say that they would like to see fewer of them give me a break

horses for rideing only not for food

Meanwhile Theus can give billions of aid to other countries !!

That is not right imagine of u were a wild horse u want to be free and Rome the land and just because there's a lot of horses then deal with is god made horses for a reason!!😡😕

I will always post amazing videos from the Amazon Region I'll put the link for you

No effective predator?

Killing a horse should be illegal

Very nice, Sky!

Humans are not the Stewart’s of the land what is she talking about humans are why this problem exists

these are not wild horses, these are feral horses.

the real mustang 🐎💨 of America 🇺🇸

More cars and gas, licenses, insurance, tolls. These beautiful creatures where created to share the earth with us. They procreate. Cars don't and they fertilize the ground naturally. What do cars do? Cars take gas horses grass. What's gas or grass do to your body?

That's b******* that's their land

i love hores but...... what is happeing is wrong

Horses are beautiful animals and to watch them run it makes you feel free. But that is a lot of horses. And I don't think giving mares birth control will do much. But what will work is to castrate the stallions and the colts. It will take a lot of people to pull this off but should see it working in a year

The animals are destroying the land, it’s not the people’s fault that the animals cannot be controlled. It has nothing to do with us not wanting to get along

Very sad.

Save the wild Brumbies dDont let the be slaughtered
