We need to get together on this. I watched the PBS Nature show on Cloud - the BLM and their experimental birth control, mountain lion predation - they have enough to worry about without the BLM catching 'em and putting them in corrals in strange places hoping for a home..they have a home. Leave 'em in it.

Animal Welfare Institute thinks everyone should watch this investigative report on the government's destruction of our wild horses. With almost 300 million acres of public land in the West, there is no reason wild horses can't be left alone to roam freely as intended.

Half of the country's wild horses are in Nevada and the BLM is gathering them off of public land in record numbers with increasingly thin justifications behind the roundups.
