Latest BLM Horse Roundup (video)

The Bureau of Land Management is an arm of the Department of the Interior, charged with taking care of the Public lands for The People including rangeland. They are also charged with the care of wild horsesand burros on that range. It should be noted that the Federal governmnt leases out this land to cattlemen for grazing rights, which are not (IMHO) The Public. Periodically they round up the wild horses and burros with helicopters, driving them into mesh pens, and eventually into holding pens in various locations with the intention of adoption. There are now more horses in these holding facilities than there are on the range. There was a marvelous show on PBS about a stallion named "Cloud" and his band. They rounded him and his band up, but released him after public outcry. I've heard they got him again and killed him, but I'm not going to swear by that.
I recieved a video from the south Florida U.S. Humane society the other day that I honestly could not finish viewing after only a  few minutes. It is graphic, I warn you. The photographers were invited to attend the round-up. This is not an "underground" video. That this is being done with OUR tax dollars is sickening to say the least. That we are allowing this to happen to benifit a bunch of cattle ranchers, who are a small part of The Public is even worse, but money talks, doesn't it? 
Please help me stop this outrage against these beautiful creatures who only want to be left alone to live their lives. Give them the rangeland they need, instead of whittling it down bit by bit with increased leasing, so that BLM "has" to round them up for "their own good". The expense of keeping these horses on dry lots has gone up dramatically since this horor started, now making it also economically unfeasable.
May I please remind you this is quite graphic. The photographers were invited to film, so this is not an "uderground" video of questionable reputation.
Thank you for reading, and hopefully signing.
