It has its down sides in that the horse has to be either darted or injected with the drug, and it needs to be reapplied every couple of years, but it does not otherwise affect the animal and has been safely used for years in sanctuaries and in deer populations. There are no "easy, painless" solutions, but compassion and reason must dictate the decisions made, not just numbers, as the BLM tends to do.)Humane Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822411347516086748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618238585190945948.post-78572219004915575702017-04-09T00:21:46.205-07:002017-04-09T00:21:46.205-07:00Wild horses remain at great risk. The actual roun...Wild horses remain at great risk. The actual rounding up of wild horses has slowed down over the last 3 years only because our government agency who oversees the Wild Horse and Burro Program, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has run out of room to house them. There are over 50,000 captured wild horses the U.S. now must feed with hay. They are housed in government holding facilities (e.g., Palomino Valley Center in Reno, NV; Litchfield Corrals in Wendel, CA (near Susanville)) as well as big ranches in Kansas and the midwest that are paid to house large herds of either mares or geldings (BLM gelds all captured male horses before shipping to long-term holding ranches). The horses never live in family bands again once they are captured. All foals old enough to be weaned are weaned upon capture (permanently taken from their mothers) and put in a pen with others of their age.<br /><br />Horse slaughter is currently illegal in the U.S.; however, many congressmen and cattle industry people are pushing to legalize horse slaughter as an "answer" to reduce the expense of feeding these 50,000 captured wild horses. This is instead of implementing the recommendations made by the National Academy of Sciences study of 2013 (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/13511/using-science-to-improve-the-blm-wild-horse-and-burro-program).<br /><br />That study was done by request of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), yet the BLM is not modifying its wild horse and burro program as that study recommends. <br />One big change would be to implement humane fertility controls on the range to slow down the wild horse reproductive rate so BLM would not feel the need to round up horses. <br /><br />Important Fact: With all of that said about reducing the population growth of wild horses, there not an overpopulation of wild horses in most places. What actually exists (but is touted as a "wild horse overpopulation") is a disproportionate percentage of the federal land is allotted for cattle grazing on the few areas wild horses are legally allowed to remain. In plain English, the biggest portion of land and food is held aside for cattle, e.g., 3/4ths, and only a little left for wild horses. <br /><br />Example: if an area of 10 acres can support 3 large animals, and you start out by allowing two cows, anything over 1 horse will be considered an "overpopulation." <br /><br />That is usually what lies behind the cries of "overpopulation of wild horses." In many instances — and in my experience I would say "most" — the the cattle/sheep outnumber the wild horses by 5 to 1, and sometimes as much as 50 to 1 (that is, there are 50 cows for every 1 wild horse). That said, areas also truly do exist where there are more horses than there is grass and forage to feed them, even where there are no cows grazing. <br /><br />We must be realistic and take each area individually, not simply give a broad-brush approach which cannot possibly apply to all areas in which wild horses and/or burros live.<br /><br />The cattle ranchers only pay $1.35 per month (can you believe it?) to graze a cow and her calf on public land. So you can see why they want to be allowed to use our public land to graze/feed their privately owned cattle for months at a time, and they consider the wild horses competition, a pest to be removed. Yet only 4 percent of our nation's beef are grazed on public land, so in many cases our wild horses are being pushed aside to support the interests of a mere handful of people with private profit-driven interests. <br /><br />www.wildhorseeducation.org is a great place to get more information and to find out what you can actually do, and when to do it, to increase our voice and protect wild horses. <br /><br />I had more to share but edited it down since I have reached the limit allowable in a comment.

I contacted the owner who knew to double and triple check for killers. I also contacted Palomino who helped network for this deserving filly.<br /><br />Someone from Dreamcatcher's went and picked her up on Mar 9 my mom's birthday. In her honor I named the mare mama. She was a mostly ungentled wild one who needed sanctuary. My understanding is she now lives with the herd.<br /><br />My very first rescue! One that I played a small part in. It gave me the get test feeling in the world to know that I helped her. I wish I could do more. But I know mama is safe. And that is a biggie in my own life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618238585190945948.post-88125036812294326422011-06-18T13:02:30.508-07:002011-06-18T13:02:30.508-07:00Hey Elyse!!

Now so many have gone on to new places, people or Long Term Holding. Too many have been this route. Adopting our wonderful wild horses is a horse owning option that needs to be promoted and handled better than it is these days. Our wild ones are some of the best horses in the world. Their treatment and their futures are in our hands.

I also remember the sweet calico fillies, and seeing 1099 & Fuzzy Tassel, oh my heart. How I wish we could visit them again. I do thank God they were adopted and hope they are in loving homes. They are great. 1099 was one of a kind. The visit with the fillies was always such a special part of the tours. <br /><br />Honoring their service to mankind today. Praying for their future as a species in America & abroad. Again Elyse, much appreciation for this tribute.
