Please do an in depth story to let people know what is happening to our beautiful wild mustangs before they are eliminated from the wild by our own government!
Thank you for airing this story and informing the people of America about this issue. We must try to save the horses, the gems of America's fading frontier.
The video is stunning. But the story behind the horses is heartbreaking, and worthy a CBS report. The government's stewardship of these wild animals has been disgraceful and should be exposed.
It would be great if you could really tell the story of the barbaric treatment of our majestic wild horses at the hands of our own government. There is a really heatbreaking story here and the reason the wild horses are disapearing is that our government keeps rounding them up so that rich people can graze their livestock on public land for 90% below market value and degredate the land. With 37,000. wild horses in government holding and horses dying everyday at the Fallon holing facilitie as a result of the recent Calico Complex roundup, to date 87 dead and 40 aborted late term foals, horrible living conditions, suffering horses, moldy hay, sand blowing everywhere and in there food and the worst of it is to see the broken spirits of such amazing creatures. Do some digging the American people would be shocked at our government and the continued government sponcered animal abuse.
Please deep dive the real story! Mustangs are being eliminated by the BLM because the cattle industry lobbies continuously to have them removed, so ranchers may lease OUR public lands cheaply & their cattle will not have to compete w/mustangs for water. These horses belong to all of us & should not be mismanaged, injured or killed during round ups, nor should the BLM be wasting Americans' tax dollars on round ups, adoptions, & feeding mustangs in feed lots.
Thank you for your coverage of this important story! Please continue to follow up with additional coverage exploring the exploitation and our American wild horses, and the profiteering that is compromising their survival. The Wild Horse and Burro Act is being shamelessly circumvented by those entrusted to enforce it. Concerned citizens and a critical and independent news media are the only available voices in defense of these innocents.
Thank you for showing beautiful footage of the wild horses. Please pursue this story further and examine the real causes behind habitat loss. It would be interesting to examine competing interests for the land these horses inhabit, and which organizations have the money for lobbying.
The BLM needs to be stopped, they are determined to 'rid' OUR public lands that were given to the mustangs in 1971 to the 'welfare corporate' ranchers and energy companies. Where the mustang herds have been zeroed out, you can find BLM memos and dialog with the energy companies. Can anyone say Ruby Pipeline???
These glorious creatures are being systematically eliminated by the BLM at the behest of the beef industry. Secretary Salazar wants to remove them from their natural habitat altogether. Excessive roundups continue, crowding horses into holding facilities. The BLM, having mismanaged the horses, failed to implement birth control, lied about the numbers, can only come up with slaughter as a solution. The BLM MUST be held accountable--we have entrusted it with this national treasure.
Thank you for the beautiful video of these majestic horses. Unfortunately, they are not running free and the public must know what is really happening to them. The BLM is needlessly eliminating them. If the country is made aware of this, their fate will be changed for the better. Please air another story with the truth. Thank you.
