There are many things that bring tears to my eyes, many things that wrip out my heart and make me so angry…that turn my stomach…that convince me that in this World there is nothing but evil surrounding all of us.
How the human species is capable of inflicting such barbaric acts upon totally helpless animals around the world is an extremely sad statement on the evolution of man. To inflict pain and suffering on the innocent, the helpless, those who have done no wrong, who fight every day for their very survival ….is unforgivable, unacceptable, disgusting…words fail me!
What is going on in the United States of America, a nation Proud and Free, a nation that Prides itself on rushing to the Aid of Foreign Countries, of sending aid to millions of suffering Humans around the world…what is going on in the United States of America which pats itself on the back touting her many great deeds and victories……BUT allows the slaughter of thousands of Wild Mustangs and Burros…..that Country, the United States of America has nothing to be Proud of.
Wake up people!!!!
Do something to STOP this!!!
Wild Mustangs continue to be brutalized for the sake of the American cattle industry..THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!! What we can do as Canadians is to join our counterparts who are protesting this in the U.S. The U.S. Government has nothing to be proud of for allowing this barbarism to continue.
Those of you throughout the International community can stand up to fight this massive slaughter, just as success was gained by the EU Ban on Canadian Seal Products, a success can be won if we act united in one voice.
This video will tear your heart out, unless of course you are sub-human, which apparently the perpetrators, and those who condone and allow these horrors to continue are.
Is it bad enough for you? Wild Horses 2

I’m told the foal at 1.37 seconds did not survive, and many hundreds of others have perished whilst this seemingly unstoppable and heinous persecution of the wild and free goes on… Why is the American government allowing this?

A commentary in response to comments made by US commissioner Tom Collins about how wild horse advocates must have been mistreated as kids was aired on KLAs.
“There are plenty of horses out in the Nevada desert,” said Tom Collins, a Clark County commissioner who has a ranch outside Las Vegas. “Most of these folks, maybe their father slapped them or their mother didn’t love them, so now they are in love with these wild horses that aren’t really wild,” he said.“

In a letter of response from one Colorado resident fighting to end this brutal and inhumane roundup, Mr. Collins received the following comments.
Excerpt:
“In regards to your recent comments, you would do well in doing some research other than how you could continue to exploit the state to benefit your own greedy agenda.
Your insulting arrogance is a mirror reflection of the special interest driven propaganda of BLM – trying cleverly to slap the opposition in the face with obstinate disdain, of which you reek.

I would assume you can read so I encourage you to do so. The truth will always win – most Americans are not as low as you hope with your insulting comments. It is people like you who claim to be public servants yet have only one thing on their mind: how to gain personally, having been blinded with greed in a bubble of denial, not capable of accepting the truth, nor willing to explore it.”
Shame on you.

WHY ????
WHY Mr. Abbey, is this happening again ? One tragedy after another, while YOU promised “reform” –
Please tell us WHY ????
The American public knows your close-out strategy wants to eliminate the mustangs – why is your agency so cruel and unprofessional ????
WHY is a Federal agency NOT abiding by FEDERAL LAW ?
How can anyone with a conscience let this happen ????
Ms. Courtney has become a close friend, she is just one of the courageous individuals who dare to stand up against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and those in Political power who continue to condone, support and allow this mass slaughter for profit and special interests to continue.
Monika, I support you, I applaud you, I pray for you.
Your fight is heartbreaking.
Your fight it is necessary.

Well said. As an European living in the Mediterranean, I have written two times to the US Prisident,via his website, on this issue but never, of course, had the decency of a reply.
I’m unable to watch these horrendous videos, but like you cannot imagine how mankind can inflict ANY form of cruelty on ANY living creature. It makes me ashamed to be part of humanity.
Protests need to be staged outside the White House, maybe then someone will listen to those whose tax dollars are being spent on animal ABUSE by the President.
