Wild Horses Running Free.

SAVE OUR NATION'S WILD HORSES & BURROS FROM EUTHANASIA AND SLAUGHTER!!

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
Animal rights groups are battling against ranchers and the government over a new proposal to start euthanizing wild horses.
An estimated 33,000 wild horses are roaming around in 10 western states.
Instead of euthanizing and slaughter, there could be better ways to deal with this. Such as birth control or tax breaks for large landowners willing to let the horses run on their lands.

From the people of the United States concerned in preserving our heritage and history,

An estimated 33,000 wild horses are roaming around in 10 western states.
 They are a huge part of our American history, America would never be what it is today if it wasn't for a horse.
There is a quote I once heard " The History Of America Was Written On The Back Of A Horse".

Euthanasia and slaughter are not the answer!
We believe that there is a much better way to deal with the wild horses and burros of the West.
Such as birth control or giving tax breaks to large land owners who allow wild horses to run on their property.
Please, take our thoughts and concerns into deep consideration.
We greatly appreciate anything you can do to avoid this horrible act.
Thank you all so very much for listening to our concerns.

We need to decrease the amount of land used for CATTLE! They are the true polluters of our land and water. Wild animals should be roaming free in our country on our public lands. DO NOT SLAUGHTER these wild animals!!!

STOP THE SLAUGHTER OF THE WILD HORSES THAT BELONG TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES! THE EXTREME MISMANAGEMENT OF THE BLM IS NOT THE HORSE'S FAULT AND THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THE BLM'S MISTAKES! A SIMPLE SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE THE BIG RANCHERS CATTLE HERDS OFF OF "OUR PUBLIC LAND" AND RETURN "OUR WILD HORSES" TO THEIR HOMES!

If we can protect the wolf to roam free with no real natural predators, shouldn't we protect the Mustangs as well. There is a delicate balance in nature, one that we as human beings frequently stomp on. There is not telling the impact the simple extinction of one species can have on the earth, the environment, and humanity as well. Please find a solution to this terrible injustice.--There has to be a better way.

slaughtering the mustangs is not answer nor the right thing to do.

Slaughtering our wild mustangs is the most shameful thing to happen in America --- the home of the brave and the free --- in my lifetime. Other Countries are talking about us in the news --- that Americans would slaughter their own American icon, etc. PLEASE restore the public lands to these magnificent horses. They NEED and deserve good grasslands, good drinking water, and their FREEDOM. Too, their families should be permitted to stay together. It will take tremendous courage to make a stand against some of the opposing ranchers and the politicians who back them; however, standing up for what is right, noble, and good is what walking with "integrity" and being a true red-blooded AMERICAN is all about. Please put your pride aside and let them live, thrive and flourish...once again. Cattle we will always have with us...the mustang, well, that is up to the BLM and our legislators. I want to grow old KNOWING they are safe and FREE...just as they were meant to be. I believe God has made us responsible STEWARDS to care for the animals well. I pray you will grant these 30,000 + horses / burros LIFE on the range.

Euthanizing and slaughter is not the answer! These Wild horses are American Icons....it is time to care of them, like they have taken care of the human race for thouands of years! Put them on land they can survive on and let them be FREE! Decrease the land leased to cattle and sheep!

I own a quarter horse and I am just in tears about these horses. I agree, that they are what is left of this country's wild horses and that there is no place on earth, you can see these animals run free. If I could I would take some of them home, but I can't. I am sure there are plenty of ranches and farms out there who could use a couple of extra horses or atleast have enough land to afford them.

The Wild horses that still roam free are just as much a symbol of our nation as the Bald Eagle and deserves to LIVE as free as our nations bird.

If the planned slaughter goes ahead I am truly afraid that you will not know what a treasure you have in your hands until its too late. I add my voice with the many others who ask for the horses freedom to continue to live the life of the true wild horse, please strive to preserve these last herds of wild horses and protect their range.
