Something disgusting is occurring in the great (?) state of Nevada, the systematic roundup of Wild Horses, some will say they are not wild but feral but that is not the case.
These animals have been roaming a good portion of the west for close to 500 years, since the days of the Conquistador, but now the BLM in its infinite wisdom has decreed that there is not enough feed on the open range for them to survive.In all honesty(that's a concept lost on the BLM) its about making money from cattle grazed on public lands,I'm not talking about family ranches but cow/calf outfits (corporate ranching) you see they pay next to nothing to fatten the cattle on public land,all so someone can sell and buy a 99 cent hamburger.
Everywhere they have removed the Wild Horse not long after it is opened up for Grazing lease, i suppose cattle can eat anything, but the corporate cattlemen were the ones who complained to the BLM that they were competing with the Wild Horse for the grass
it is typical Washington double dealing, these Wild Horses are held in huge pens in the northern part of our state or shipped to other holding facilities out of state, these once proud and free animals are being condemned to a life of misery, but hold on, this is what will really happen to them once they are no longer adoptable they will be sold for SLAUGHTER because they will be deemed a 'burden' on the taxpayer(just like the politicians) and to convince us it is a good thing they will tell us that at least we recovered taxpayers money(so they can bail out more banks or other leeches) so enjoy your hamburger John Q. Public it only cost you 99 cents,don't give a second thought to what the real cost is, the death of our Heritage and countless Wild Horses.
