This article is Protect the Harvest propaganda.I really wish there had been some research before this was printed. Let's be very, very clear here: There is no overabundance of wild horses. The NSA has stated this. Wild horse management groups, HSUS and the ASPCA have stated this. Wild horse herds can simply and cheaply be managed through PZP, a birth control for mares.The fact of the matter is that the cattle and oil companies want the federal lands, and the wild horses are in their way. The cattle herders want to overgraze the federal lands, which decimates the land for all other animals, so they can send the meat to China. Studies have shown that this overgrazing is responsible for fires and for completely decimating the natural fauna of the area, but the BLM only increases the number of cattle allowed onto federal lands. The oil companies want to frack on federal lands, even though it causes earthquakes and water contamination. The BLM is in the pocket of big oil and cattle herders.
