The problem is the BLM. The problem is the 6 MILLION cattle that are decimating the land. The land belongs to the horses. The cattle are privately owned and belong on their owner's property. The horses were doing just fine. There was no need for round-ups or herd management. Wild horses numbered over 2 million and are down to 16,000-19,000. Who is managing the cattle? Why are 6 Million cattle on the land not an issue but 19,000 horses are? The land is for wild horses and wildlife. Get the cattle off the land. They don't belong there. My tax dollars are going to the BLM to protect the wild horses, not extinct them.<BR/><BR/>www.vickitobin.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904132756530030193.post-8675714745354761722008-11-23T09:04:00.000-08:002008-11-23T09:04:00.000-08:00You obviously have not done your homework.

You choose to not mention the 8 million beef cattle that are allowed to take over the range the horses are supposed to have to run free as the "wildlife" they are. The BLM has grossly mismanaged the herds and have caused much of the overpopulation. The issue is much deeper and wider than your narrow view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904132756530030193.post-70183212822982661522008-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:002008-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:00You seem to write the easy way.

Sure, there have to be other actions and those are under way. However, Mrs. Pickens, unlike you, decided to take action and not attempt to dazzle Internet searchers with her fancy writing style. Maybe that is the problem with American's today. We have blogs for those every growing hind ends and expanding waistlines who don't really do anything in life but feel the need to share their intelligence (insert sarcasm if you didn't catch it) behind a glowing computer screen. So, I too am stepping away from the computer and moving forward to do something with my life. You can keep typing away, if only to amuse yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904132756530030193.post-3815432957835304532008-11-22T09:57:00.000-08:002008-11-22T09:57:00.000-08:00Hmm Seems you have no plans for the future of res...Hmm Seems you have no plans for the future of responsiblity than to rant your mouth on mixed words that hide the truth. You fail to mention the BLM has mismanage there operations in accordance to the wants of the Cattle Industries lies. The Same Cattle industry that was getting $3.00 per head horse slaughtered at Texas Plants The same organization that trie to sue oprah for her free speach to never eat a hamburger again. I wish the whole cattle industry would just shut there big mouths up. We are tired of the ignorant cowboy rodeo show and abuse and neglect they support. Seems Sean only see slaughter as the way of fixing everything also that in reality the Cattle Industry wants the wild land for there cattle which only pays $1.00 per head grazing on our public wild lands..Hey I got an idea lets charge them $25.00 a head then we can raise the funds to give it to the Rescues that are trying to fix the problems these overbreeders associations are creating like the AHQA,APHA and start punishing these backyard breeders that promote abuse and neglect.. Slaughter is not the answer its responsiblity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
