Humans are horrible. Native wild horses are ruining the native forage because big government cares more about the profit from the beef industry is all I heard. That bald guy in the video seems like he's miserable in his home life. I wouldn't trust him to own any animals. Heartless and disgusting.
If we are going with overpopulation as the main issue then we must include every species in that Mr Governor! People are by far the most overpopulated species on the planet! The environment would be better off controlling human growth than controlling the animal population.
They just want the land so that they can build stuff on it and ruin the environment even more .These animals deserve to be there .They are natural. They don't pollute. They don't harm anything. Pretty soon there will be nothing left for "them" to regulate. I hate people.
It's a reckless process by a heartless federal agency. They blame the wild horses for the deteriorated land, but it's really the cattlemen's animals which are placed on the land to graze for almost nothing that are competing and harming the land. The private livestock populations are so high, and they do much greater damage. No one is mentioning that anywhere in this short segment. The horses have no economic value and therefore are treated inhumanely. These horses are supposed to be protected on these lands per law. Once again, it's all about money and who has power. Shame on you Biden Administration/Bureau of Land Management, not to mention our Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, who directly oversees this horrible process. Why do they choose the hottest time of year, when the heat is sweltering, to run down these horses and increase the fatalities? I can tell you one thing, I'm not voting for Biden again, not that the Republicans are any better. I'm looking for better alternatives, not hypocrites.
I forget who the 2 ladies are or who they work for, but both are great shots and have been trying to dart the mares w birthcontrol darts. Why are they NOT funded to help control the population??? Its cheaper than the round ups, less stress on the horses and very effective!!!!
Management of this species does not include abuse in the laws of the management of Wild Horses and Burros. This is disgusting with temperatures in triple digits no less! DOI should be stepping up on this and stopping this roundup!
If you think this is bad wait till you see how beef is made.
F these guys. Says who? That's not true, so subjective. Just stop!!! In Arizona they shoot birth control injections from rifles successfully. Bird watchers complain about them. Try making the corrals higher you stupid people. Or is that too much work for you? Protect these beautiful creatures. See if other states can take them.
Google "Adopt a Horse BLM"
Sickening laziness. Agree with roundups. But why not do small roundups throughout the year? All they'd need to do is build some trap corrals, then bait them with hay, especially in the winter. And use cowboys on horses, not helicopters. Probably be a lot cheaper. Trying to round up thousands of horses during heat of summer is crazy and cruel.
They have no natural predators here, so the population is tough to control. Honestly, i think issuing a certain number of hunting permits is probably the most effective and economical option. Yes people eat horse all the time all over the world.
The Bureau of Lies and Mismanagement is green washing Americans! Historic and current livestock overgrazing is killing our public lands and was the reason behind the 1934 Taylor Grazing Act. The appropriate management levels for wild horses and burros was established in the 1980s by livestock interests and not science and data. Recent 3rd party research identifies BLM as negligent in not managing our public lands and passed the threshold of return endangering all ecosystems and wildlife. Do your research. BLM doesn't even know what the forage carrying capacities are for our public lands yet DOI BLM continues to increase livestock and extraction takeovers while sacrificing wild horses and burros and ignoring public outrage!
Are these mustangs the GT models? Rtr spec or no?
Another example of the government taking wild things and abusing them… just like people.
Pathetic and sickening
Save the cute ones. The ones that are having their habitats destroyed by them are not important.
We gone need as many horses as we can get soon if things keep going in the direction they are now… Are they looking people to take in horse for free ?????
Nasty people neeed to stop this crap.
wild horses are invasive species to NA, round them up.
Living wild and living free – until the humans begin their terror campaign. Too bad that helicopter didn't crash and burn.
Shameful 😭
When will man learn?
The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth!
These horses are invasive and are destroying the native antelope and bighorn sheep
They need to be treated like horses in France , they are food there and really are almost as good as beef
Who is this opinionated woman with the painted on eyebrows ? , she knows nothing about livestock that isn't in a book
I hear ALDI's is serving horse meat….there's your solution
Animal abuse animal cruelty disgusting. Murderers
Who is rounding them up? Rich people to take to their private ranches? So only they own everything? Ima starr shooting real soon its getting too bad and they are doing too much. Fkin rich people.
