The first use of horses began in warfare over 5,000 years ago pulling wagons, chariots, playing the crucial role in providing support to armies in the field. Europeans used several types of war horses in the middle ages and was best-known heavy Calvary warriors of the period. Highly mobile horse regiments were critical in the American Civil war. By the end of World War ll, horses were seldom seen in battle, but were still used extensively for the transport of troops and supplies. Military horse units are also used for ceremonial, education purposes, historical enactments of battles, law enforcement and equestrian competitions derived from the riding and training skills once used by the military. These loyal creatures, who have carried the mail, taken people to live in the west to search for gold, carried soldiers in wars over 5,000 years ago are being threatened. Their lives as veterans of our country are at the risk of being taken to the Mexican slaughterhouses, where horrible and disgusting things will take place to end these beautiful and harmless, creatures, who do not deserve to die this way. With all the people, who live in this state, who own so much property, I do not understand, how they be so heartless and turn a blind eye to their time in need. This state is so well known for the beauty of it’s horse races that will be a nightmare to have to tell my friends in other places how disappointed I feel over this disgraceful behavior. I tears my heart out thinking about the pain of the starvation and pain that will be caused. I cannot think about it anymore tonight. Please do whatever you can to prevent this from happening. Do not allow this to continue.

During the Governments (BLM) round-up of Wild Mustangs, mares & colts-some mares & colts were run so hard over rocky terrain,and canyons that they had to be destroyed. Why don’t we all get together to SAVE these part of our Heritage; have distribution Ranches where kids-adults would learn horse Care=Responsibilities of getting up early, raking out the stalls, and feeding them, brushing the colts, and training them to make them their own charges; later they will get the satisfaction of riding free,teaching other Youth, and having Horse Therapy on the Rez./in the country for Low-income youth, adults, and the dis-abeled that would benefit greatly from this feeling of INDEPENDENCE, FREEDOM, and HAPPINESS that these rescued Horses would bring to them.Thereby these Wild Studs, Mares, burros and colts would be off of GOVERNMENT LANDS (OUR OWN LANDS!); & Mr. Cheney’s areas for Gas & Oil exploration in the WEST!!??

This is absolutely ridiculous. Only the GOVERNMENT WOULD DO SOMETHING SO CRUEL. HMMMMM. I thought the people had something to say about this and shouldn’t we be voting on this? I can not imagine people in charge of this roundup actually believing that this is ok, its not ok. Did these guys not realize what they were doing? Those running this roundup should be run just like those horses were for over 5hrs none stop and see if they would be able to handle all the pressure on their feet, lungs, heart, legs and so on. That should be there punishment and it should be video taped for all of us to sit and watch with glee…..I can’t imagine what that poor colt/foal was thinking and felt while being chased down by some thing that was loud in the sky stiring up dust all around him/her….This is ANIMAL CRUELTY and those in charge of this roundup as well as those doing it should all be charged, sentenced and pay a fine for more then 25 counts of animal cruelty. This just makes me hate america more then i already do and i’m an american…….such a horrific incident….

Perhaps one must look at “Bush’s Super Highway”. could this land be cleared to provide for this highway….or perhaps one must look at the oil rich deposit up through the midwest. It is all about greed without realizing that WE are the stewards of all things on Earth intrusted by out maker(s). The Native Americans have the right thinking of the land/animals, etc. Remember, PEOPLE are power! How about a march on Washington to make sure all voices are heard. Why isn’t there anything on national news about this? I had to find it on the internet.

Can someone tell me why these ranchers are permitted to FREELY graze their animals on public lands (meaning the lands owned by our country and all of its citizens)? I understand that this was a practice put in place long ago when it was a necessity for their livelihood due to climate and water changes at the time but really, in the east if you want to raise cattle and need to feed them you get feed for them, if you can’t afford the feed, you sell them. In the east the luxury of FREE grazing on the lands of others does not exist. The mid-western farmers should see this as a privilege not a right and should stop looking a gift horse in the mouth and consider themselves lucky that the wild horses and the rest of the country still tolerate their impositions on public lands instead of whining and crying about how they want more and selfishly demanding all of the grass. If they can’t afford to fully support their cattle maybe they should take up another type of livelihood… maybe they should farm cattle feed if it is in such short supply.

Yes, Obama is busy fighting wars, but it would only take one swipe of a pen to halt this wicked treatment of horses. Surely, James, you are not trying to tell me he hasn’t time to do that…………
