The U.S. Bureau of Land Management voted to kill 44,000 of the 67,000 total wild horses in the country to make room for more beef cattle last Friday.
The vote came two months after beef industry representatives testified on Capitol Hill, demanding that the agency kill all 44,000 wild horses currently held captive in BLM holding facilities and round-up the majority of the rest for sterilization.
In a House Subcommittee on Federal Lands meeting, California Congressman Tom McClintock (R) said wild horses are overpopulated and eating up all the grass that could be used to support more cattle:
There are currently around 67,000 wild horses in the United States – a 15-percent increase from last year and the highest number in 30 years. Without “management,” McClintock said, the wild horse population would double every 4 to 5 years.
“Nature is brutal in dealing with overpopulation,” he said. “It manages it by disease and starvation.”
McClintock and the cattlemen the represents says a much more humane way to deal with the “problem,” is slaughter and surgical sterilization.
It’s not just the horses that are threatened by their recent “population explosion,” McClintock said. It’s “agricultural development … and the human population that depends on crops and livestock taken from the same land.”
The BLM says the cost of caring for a horse in a coral is nearly $50,000 over the lifetime of each animal. That equates to over a billion dollars based on the current number being held, McClintock said.
Director of The Cloud Foundation Ginger Kathrens – who spent decades documenting wild horses for PBS – followed up with testimony that made McClintock look either dumb or dishonest.
Not only are wild horses not “overpopulated,” Kathrens said. They are managed at levels “far below the population required for genetic viability” and are in danger of disappearing for good.
Wild horses live on only 11 percent of BLM-managed land (27 million acres in 10 states), and in most cases they share the land with privately owned cattle, she said. “Livestock outnumber horses and burros 47 to 1, and livestock are allocated 82 percent of the forage.” Who’s starving out who again?
And the reason the wild horse population went up 15 percent last year? Because birth rates among horses remaining in the wild go up when over half of their population is removed from the land and placed in feedlots.
“Current management practices of round-up, removal and warehousing … cause compensatory reproduction – an increase in populations as a result of decreased competition for forage,” Kathrens said.
Kathrens says there are humane population control alternatives to castration, , long-term confinement and slaughter, such as shooting birth control darts at the animals in their natural habitat. Of course, she would prefer the animals be left alone and not have to compete with ever-growing populations of cattle, which are often artificially inseminated to feed ever-growing populations of humans.
Kathrens was the only person on the 7-member BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board to vote against the mass slaughter Friday.

Agree, someone is cashing in the horses for pet meat or the like, but the other side is unclear. Suggestion,. Let’s just let Nature alone for a while…we are not in charge…. Nature us. Just let’s stop making more babies, then we won’t need more Beef – to kill, too. XS peace……..
i couldn’t agree more Susanne Hartford!!
Yes; It’s name is unclear but his initials are John McCain. The BLM is messing with a treaty on Indian territory. I don’t know about the baby thing beyond my own kids. But I do know a little bit about law.
Stop making babies? Really? How about just stop eating beef???
Babies do not need meat to survive, neither do adults.
The petition is right at the top where it says “sign Here” in blue.
Please consider reducing the number of cattle instead of killing the horses.
Yes. Agree. XS peace
who are the lobbyists?
disgusting the greed of humans
Agree totally. Peace, Susanbe XS
I am against this 100%!
this is a crime on our heritage, they should be running free!!!!!!!! I get so sickened how money and big business distroy thing all in the name of greed
They are bowing to big money. How sad!!! The horses have learned to survive without man so please let them be. There is so little of true nature left on this planet. Maybe Americans should quit eating so much meat. It’s not healthy to eat as much as we do. Less meat eating more healthy Americans.
NO!
Don’t kill the animals!!!
Why would you want to kill 44,000 horses to provide room for beef cattle that you’re going to kill in the end anyhow??? How could you do such an awful thing!? There is plenty of room and land for the horses and beef cattle!! I can’t believe people could do something like this!! You aren’t even using y’all’s brains!! Think through this…didn’t even make since in the long run does it????
Totally agree. Humans are the thugs of the animal world xx peace, S .
That’s wrong
Killing these animals is not the answer to your problem. It just creates another one.
This is completely illogical. Have you considered the negative repercussions of raising cattle? Such as the high amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and altering the natural ecosystem? Let nature take its course!
Do you remember the American Bison? Went the slaughtered also come on guys think with you head not you bank account
Let’s call a thing a thing! They want more land because beef is so profitable right now! Money, it boils down to money! When will we as a people wake up and realize everything in nature has a purpose and the more we molest it the worse it is for us all!
Don’t slaughter these majestic beautiful animals! They can be relocated if necessary.
This is disgusting!
This must be stopped!! I have forwarded an email to all email address that you provided. Some of which I can not get. PLEASE don’t let them do this…
This is wrong.
WRONG!
Tell me this can’t be true
Please don’t kill these horses. They don’t deserve it. Find a better way.
Please save wild horses’ lives. No slaughter!
I adopted two horses from blm 12 years ago. They are wonderful pets. I love them.
Disgusting the BLM is
How would you like being killed or your nuts cutoff
This is wrong! Do not kill these historic icons! They are alive breathing beautiful horses!
You will all come back as a Wild horse and suffer the same fate. Good luck with that. We know the the Big Meat thinks they can do whatever they want. Watch http://farmageddonmovie.com/
WE will not stop destroying everything for profit until it kills our planet and the animals we share it with.
Doesn’t BLM land technically belong to everyone? Not just cattle ranchers? This land is for public use and not everyone wants it to be strictly for cattle. What about people who enjoy hiking, camping, photographing wildlife, ect… And not everyone eats beef! So how is it that they get to decide to slaughter all the native horses that inhabit the land. Doesn’t it belong to them too? Oh yeah, just like the Native American Indians, they have no say even though this land was supposedly given to them. It can be revoked at anytime. Who gets to make these deductions??This is so lame!!
This is so wrong.t his needs to be appealed this can’t happen .these horses are a part of the history of this land this isn’t necessary
Unfortunately too many animals on certain lands kills the grass, etc. and will cause erosion that will strip the land further. They have to either kill, or if people will step up and adopt 40,000 + animals, not much they can do. I love horses too but can’t adopt any. And if we quit eating so many cattle….
Too many humans on the planet. We can start castrating them now, too, right? How dare the BLM declare which animal is more important. And people back east would love to adopt these horses!
There are tens of thousands in pens now.Not adopted. The economy is better,the cattlemen want to cash in. the fact of the land use between the present horses vs. cattle now should tell it all.
This is terrible
Incredible what special interests can do and who they can buy.
This is truly disgusting!!! how dare you kill innocent animals, so big business survives. I guess big business wins again because of the paid off Republicans.The Republicans are thieves and are stealing from America, how sad.Thank God for karma!! Maybe not in this lifetime but they will be judged!!!
Please please do not murder the beautiful wild and free horses..they are zen outstanding symbol of our magnificent country..please have a heart and do the right thing!!!
These actions are unacceptable. Those wild horses need more room to roam and be free. Give them top priority over cattle and track housing.
HOW DARE THEY!!!
HOW DARE THEY
This is so sad. We do not need more beef.
Would it be better for them to over-graze and destroy open range land then die of starvation?
They need to do more of the birth control.
Please save the horses lives.
instead of slaughtering the horses why don’t they just grab everyone in DC…problem solved.
A Shame.
I find this deplorable !
why will humans not be happy until all wildlife is smothered for their own personal gain …. these are our horses too when do we get to friggin vote ??????
Please consider other options
This is the saddest thing I can’t understand why they are spending so much on round ups, when it could be going to research on some kind of birth control. The BLM needs to be on the side of the public, no privet cattelmen. All of this bullshit comes down to.the money. Just remember there are no do overs,when there gone there gone. It really is a shame.
This is in humane! Find other land to have cattle on or farm on it, but do not kill innocent animals for your benefit. They depend on us for survival & this is wrong..mass killing. Please save these beautiful, smart, loving animals!!!!
I wonder if a request to UNESCO is something possible, considering Mustang horses like a part of the heritage of USA. I don’t know.
Stop feeding animals to feed people. We don’t need it anymore. I vote to save the wild horses.
Fuck them! Something must be done!
This is horrible. I have been a vegetarian for the last two years. All of this killing of innocent creatures should cease.
Thank you Sara for sharing this article. The BLM has be exposed by advocates. Their cattlemen association backgrounds tell it all. The same garbage that spews from their mouths is from type cattlemens point of view. The blatant lies that they keep telling only proves them to be pathological liars. Maybe America had dumbed down but the advocates who have been following this have not. Their genocidal agenda must be stopped and either they get rid of them entirely or they clean house and put people who have the best interest of type horses and wildlife at heart, people who are honest and abide by v the law. The current members have broken every law that concerns the wildlife out there.
If out doesn’t change NOW this part of our American heritage week be gone for good.
THIS AINT GONNA HAPPEN ,SUCKERS!
Humans also need “management” !!!!
Hellbent on upsetting the natural cycle of the environment for the sake of greed
Don’t do it. It won’t be worthwhile and it is Inhumane.
People are eating less beef and In the future even less will be in demand.
It won’t work out – don’t do it.
STOP the killing of wild horses. They mean no harm n leave them alone for Christ sake.
Please don’t slaughter all these horses… Find homes for them. There are so many people who would love to have a horse and take good care of it and give it a wonderful loving life.
Thank you!
Leave these Beautiful Critters Alone!!!
This is yet another disgrace to how the human race should act. Those horses are wild in their natural habitat where they are obviously meant to flourish. Leave them to THEIR land and stop trying to conquer the world that is not yours. More cattle = equal more methane = more global warming. If we have no world where will you then make your money? Stop being cruel and selfish and think of the bigger picture before there is none left to see!
?
We can not kill one species to accommodate another. This needs to end. Please reconsider the treatment of the wild horses.
Are you crazy?! Put the CATTLE in the feed lot holding pens and spent 12 months placing horses with people who want them. There are organizations that will do this for free for you and plenty of horse lovers across the country. Stop mass killing for your convenience and start getting creative solutions that don’t require murder.
STOP KILLING JUST BECASUSE YOU CAN! LEAVE THESE PRECIOUS HOSRES ALONE!
Save the wild horses!
I truly fail to understand the mentality of people who can cold bloodedly decide to kill 44000 wild horses. For financial gain? This makes me sick.
Well where’s a link to harass? That’s info too late for me, and these days people could care less for beef.
Please do not kill all the wild mustangs they just need to be managed PLEASE
Please don’t kill the wild mustangs especially for greedy cattle and just manage them
Shoot the BLM instead of the wild horses. At the very least STOP the welfare ranching on my tax payer funded lands.
Beef cattle raising is one of our biggest challenges to the environment. We should not raise more cattle, but actually we need to reduce the land desecrated by this horrible, dirty industry of slaughter. The land should be left as it is.
This should not be allowed…
This must be STOPPED! Our American horses founded this great country – they should be shown respect – not murdered!!
This MUST be stopped…
killing these beautiful majestic creatures ? what on earth …what kind of barbarians does america grow now ? ?
Do not slaughter these beings for any reason! Stop the greed!
Please stop the killing of these beautiful creatures. Be humane. Stop thinking only with the money book !!!!! And please think with your hearts!!! We won’t tolerate this slaughter. Thank you !
Please don’t kill any horses. Please work around them.
When is our voice heard. We love our wild horses
Not ok. Sterilization is not the answer nor is mass slaughter for greedy folks. The damage the cows will do vs Horses, is grossly higher. These animals, horses, should be celebrated and some of the family lines are rare. They have been getting illegally round up and slaughtered in free and protected areas. Now it will just be ok… we don’t need more cows, we need to protect what is there and deal with what is, not make more mess.
Set these beautiful horses free they are what made USA…
I am appalled that the Unitrd States government is bowing to the cattle industry. We have enough cattle in our stockyards, private pastures, etc. Many of our horse rescue organizations have solutions but the BLM refuses to listen. It sadly is about greed….
Stop this killing.
STOP – DO NOT DO THIS!!!! IT IS A TRAVESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP NOW KILLING HORSES.PROTECT ANIMALS FIGHT HARD USA.Animal Protection must help now.NO MORE KILLING
I can’t believe I am living in America, where they murder horses who actually help the land and instead appease the cattlemen and sheepherders for WHAT?? THEY DESTROY THE LAND. I will soon be 78 ears old and my heart is broken over this. What kind of people do we have running this country, I say EVIL, Conniving, inhumane, and honestly, If Trump doesn’t win, just take me away Lord, I can’t take this anymore, the democrats are all about the MONEY.
The world has more than enough beef. Please open your hearts and use your minds, diversity is what the planet needs, not more extinction
If you are a rescue – I have 6.5 acres, just not the funds – I’ll give them a good home if everyone can chip in for the fencing and food. This is so sad. And I’m serious – wish I was rich, I’d take every single one
Kathrens sounds like the only person who has done some research into what is happening. Why don’t they listen to someone who makes sense and stop gathering the horses, causing the overpopulation?
Destroying earth , live and nature! Stop this crazy slaughter, there is not excuse to do so!it is only a money matter !!!
I love nature and respect life
The BLM has become as corrupt as the other government agencies who are enfluenced by special interests.
DO NOT KILL THESE HORSES!
BLM has lost it’s credibility to tell the truth about the true reasons driving their decisions regarding management of our government land.
An investigation of the BLM is warranted regarding many of their dec
I HAVE NO WORDS ONLY TEARS, PLEASE PLEASE HAVE A HEART AND DON’T DO THIS WICKED EVIL THING, THANKING YOU MUCHLY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beyond cruel.
Senseless and horrible.
Slaughter is the wrong solution
Please don’t kill those poor wild horses.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!
Let’s castrate and sterilize all these representatives and leave the horses alone. I’m sure if the truth be known the ones voting for it are all in debt to the big cattle people and know they will lose money and votes if they don’t get this done.
Your decision will not effect you personally but will effect the many generations after you…do not do this to your children’s children..
This is a disgrace for our Country. God demands we take care of his animals.
What the fuck is wrong with all of you? You’re killing the world in pursuit of the ever fleeting dollar.
This insanity must be stopped now.
Do not kill these horses.
What do you want me to say as a comment? I am against murdering the wild horses.
Absolutely no slaughtering of wild horses, how sick are we? To raise more beef cattle??
I am against slaughtering these horses, we the people have a say so on this!
“Freedom”is exactly that!! These horses are the heaith of the land and they take care of their own reproduction process!!
This is all about money not common sense!! Let the horses be!!!!!!!
how dare you think its ok to end an animals life for no reason at all. that was their land first leave them be. you took the lands from the native americans so let the horses live free and in peace like they have been for 100,000 of years.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You CANNOT destroy this BEAUTY, FREEDOM, and TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I love horses and understand they are increasing to what the BLM sees as proper. it seems stupid to kill these wild creatures to make way for beef. Perhaps a better course of action is to slaughter a horse as opposed to a cow and serve it for lunch to the dorks pulling the strings. In terms of protein horse meat has it’s merit’s. After lunch it would be announced that they all ingested wild horse. The cook may get fired and a deep search would ensue for the person who put this plan together but the paradox of killing one species to make way for killing another would end the debate. If all members of the BLM would become dependent on plant based foods and maybe some of the wild hoses could be sterilized and run free. This entire event shocks me. The plan stinks !
Long ago mustang advocates all should have researched where these beef cattle are going to slaughter and what stores sell their flesh. The best way to prevent as many ranchers from putting ten times the cattle out there for the mustangs they round up is to not eat beef from that source. Find a local farmer if you want to consume it or just stop consuming it. It would take a lot of people to make this change, there are enough horsey people, but oh those taste buds are very selfish. Ten minutes of consuming beef to release dopamine in our brains is worth the horses lives too?
Why can’t they try to relocate them or find homes..this is just Deplorable…and INSANE …WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY…NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY DESERVE TO BE HERE JUST AS MUCH AS THEM…
Please reconsider this terrible act that you are about to commit
This act is horrendous! We need to protect these horses. As stated, there are only 66,000 wild horses and you want to kill 44,000? For beef cattle.
Please stop the slaughter of these beautiful creatures.
As usual, big beef wins out. Mustangs are supposed to be federally protected on public lands, but the beef industry wants the land so the horses get rounded up and sent to auctions and slaughter. Shame on you people! Did you know that many people are boycotting beef because of this? Stop lying to the public that the BLM cares at all about wild horses and stop the corporate cattle welfare. You aren’t fooling anyone with your ridiculous politics.
This is a cruel and inhumane policy that needs to end. There are humane solutions!!
It is a sick world we live in
Government is getting rid of the natural inhabitgants of the earth and make more room for the rich
We need a balance on the earth, the natural balance of nature, do not disturb.
We will end up paying
i want to sign the petition against the slaughtering of wild horses, its an atrocious idea. where is the official petition to be signed ?
I AM AGAINST THE SLAUGHTER OF WILD HORSES!!!
BLN is sick, heartless & corrupt. They need to go!
Let the horse live!
Leave the wild horses alone. They are not hurting anyone or anything just living their free life. There is plenty of room for cattle other places. I have seen the beauty of them running free
Has anyone presented this story to the media? That’s the coverage needed here.
How can I help. I have room for 2 horses,,
In South Jordan, UT there’s an annual adopt a wild horse or burro event. I think the adoption fee is $100. Google wild horse adoptions for your area.
Very sad. On another note it’s the perfect depiction of the current perception of “welcome marlboro country” an image of horses and death.
I don’t understand your comment at all? Please explain? This land is their land! Horses are smart and very good for our environment! Why doesn’t anyone understand that man takes their land like our forefathers did when they landed her in America? Duh
Stop the insanity
I grew up with horses. This I devistating to me.
Do not slaughter wild horses
Horses are God’s creatures.
Killing off three-quarters of our US Wild Horse population for the beef industry which has been declining in sales since 2014. Makes no freaking sense at all.
Stop the slaughter of wild horses. They are part of our American culture. Preserve wild horses, preserve our culture!!
Are they at least offered to the public?
This is wrong on all accounts
This is so wrong on so many levels!!!!!!!!!!
So sad, hope my signature helps to save the horsies…….
Omg this breaks my heart, please don’t kill them. Wild horses have to have the chance to be free and not slaughtered because there’s to many of them. Wild horses have the same purpose on this earth as us. Please don’t take their freedom away.
Don’t do this! It’s not humane.
McClintock needs to keep his opinions in California he has no business sticking his nose in other states business. Slaughter wild horses has everyone gone mad. Travel the states spend one day in each and tell me how many wild horses did you see! He says it costs us money who’s money i guarantee he doesn’t spend a penny of his own money on saving anything. That’s why he doesn’t give a #### about wild horses.
BLM land is public land, meaning it belongs to all of us! Who the hell do ranchers think they are to think OUR land is available for their cattle and profits?!
Wild horses are harm less and beautiful and God will cull the herd naturally.
What does ” moderations” mean?
Absolutely sickening. Why more cattle? So we can send more beef overseas? Our wild horses are American for God’s sake. They live here. We are all helpless against this cruel government decision aren’t we? Sickening !
Sherrie N. Deal
Please find more appropriate ways to feed ever-growing populations of humans than by increasing the ever growing population of artificially insenimated cattle,which is foremost just unsustainable in long term.
Stop this cruelty
And the only thing that company is worried about is making more money that’s just wrong for them to kill all them horses n tosteriliz them is kill them off altogether just ove time
Please stop the slaughter
Please stop the round up and slaugter of these animals
This is disgusting, that a companion and sensitive animal like horses and burros could come to such a horrific end. What kind of people are they, who do such things to living creatures.
Stop this slaughtered
Wild west all over again.
Mustangs are a great inheritance which if not destroy ♥
I knew this was coming. They have been screaming for a long time to empty the holding facilities and send them all to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. They will not be content until every wild horse is exterminated from the earth. Our petitions to BLM and our Congressmen have been as “chaff in the wind”. There is no way with a corrupt government that you can fight back. Nothing speaks to the BLM but the money they and the so called representatives of the people receive from the Cattle and slaughter industry.
How can you do this? They are sentient beings! They matter!
Save are wild horse’s
Save are wild horse’s.Mustangs Burros
Wrong! Just Wrong!!!
This is sickening!!
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Save the horses❤
Stop all the slaughter !
Utilize humane solutions rather than killing these beautiful animals
These horses have a right to live and people do not have the right to take that away. Better management is the answer
This is an absolute outrage!! BLM has been trying to illuminate the mustangs for years and it doesn’t matter to them what the American people think or say!!
This is ridiculous, outrageous,you don’t hear people saying, “kill off large amounts of humans” do they? Stupid.
LEAVE THE WILD HORSES ALONE YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO CONTROL EVERYTHING LEAVE SHIT ALONE YOU GREEDY ASSSHOLES!!
leave the wild horses alone YOU GREEDY ASSHOLES,WHAT EVER DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU,YOU JUST DESTROY!!!
Please stop killing animals it’s cruel and messed up.
We took this land from the Indians, now we are continuing to screw it up. It is time we let the Muslims in to take over the government. If you jerks stay in office we won’t have any wild animals. It is bad enough that you have no protection from Animal abuse. That should be a crime the same as child abuse.
We have had One Running our Country for the last 8 Years and how has that turned out?
What doesn’t the government want to manage and we all know the rest of the story……government management equals….major screw-ups.
Every animals deserves a life.
Horses loves matter!!
Unacceptable.
Where’s the beef? Who cares? Leave the horses alone.
How do 67,000 wild horses lose the home in the the first place?! This killing of the over 44,000 is an outrage. Fucking ranchers have taken control of the goverment. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
There has got to be a better answer than slaughtering two thirds of a population of animals! This was your best solution! Think again, longer and harder!
This is BS. The beef industry is killing the planet. How do they have the right to kill the only home we have?
I am, of course, APPALLED, as an sensate person should be.
These horses are our heritage, our past and should be our present. Their forefathers fought for this country too!!!
Why don’t we just nuke the planet and kill,off everything that was here from the beginning and we’ve taken control of and destroyed!
Just geld all the sralions
This is just wrong…..let them alone!
Let them live
Please don’t allow this
Stop slaughter.
Slaughter is not the answer. Why should these animals die in the name of money and greed.
This is a horrendous money grab! Who could do this??????
There are so few beautiful creatures that we, so far don’t eat or kill for trophies, just allow some nature in this corporate takeover.
Leave the wild horses alone!
I’m against killing the horses. Leave the Wild horses alone……to live in their own habitat.
This is outrageous, please stop this evil from happening!!!
My article on mustangs
http://daryl-hunter.net/mustang-conundrum
please save the horses the ranchers r way 2 f in greedy trying 2 kill off everything for their cows money hungry that’s all life is more important than money thank you they try get rid of the Wolves them ranchers
More cattle is not the answer to feed more of the population. Cattle uses more water, produces more methane, and depletes more resources than it supplies to feed people. How about eating less meat and sustaining more organic farming!
These horses are our Native History – arab blood lines and wild horses mixed to become the MUSTANG! My TAXES go to protect those horses!! How dare you butcher them!!!
This is absolutely disgusting that this has gotten this far. Let us round up our representatives so they can enjoy “a lovely and peaceful euthanasia.”
Please do NOT slaughter these horses and demoralize the food industry even more!
You are killing culture and history. Cows contribute highly to green house gases, and climate change. The power is in your hands, do what you can and save what’s left.
This is sickening awful horrible and evil! It’s wrong and It’s that simple!
This has to be prevented!
We truly do need to have a roundup…of our elected and appointed officials who are patently incapable off telling the truth. Shame on them! Their mentality has not changed since the order to round up the Native Americans and put them on reservations. They refuse to learn.
Everyone should be shot except for kathrens. You people are crazy.
This article is embarrassing to say the least. Someone is very misinformed. Having lived for 40+ yeas in wild horse country and Indian pony country I can’t believe your propaganda. First, horses don’t compete with cattle or sheep for the same forage unless of course the are all starving. Second, horses aren’t as magical as some people believe. Stallions breed ther own daughters, Grandaughters, etc. The results are many congenital defects of in breeding causing an inferior off spring, they all can’t be “Wildfires”. Yes, they are above the projected numbers allowed to graze BLM. In a severe winter I’ve seen horse carcasses alongside the road from starvation and freezing. It’s sad and mis management and mainly it’s worsened since the “do gooders” closed the slaughter houses to horses. So thanks, the big push to save the wild horses has only led to much suffering and torture.
The Mis informed one is you, as someone who Knows both horses AND cattle they absolutely compete for the same forage , true , cattle can eat and digest Things Horses cannot , but they require MUCH more forage to get near market weight as for In breeding , with enough area , there are more separate groups , limiting that, the BLM and Humans in general would sell their souls and everything else on the planet for any profit, and wreck the world completely if ANYTHINH needs “Management” it is the skyrocketing Human Population
All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Total lies, selfish, greedy cattle ranchers, that is what this boils down to. Have you forgotton that it was horses used in wars to fight for our freedom across the Globe. Have you also forgotten that horses date back long before you existed? They have every right to survive and to be left alone to run wild and free. Quit making excuses and telling lies. The world will be watching you. Think twice before you do a horrific act.
Let them be free.
The BLM exaggerates the population numbers. Only people getting paid cost the Government. The horses shouldnt be slaughtered at all period. This is a tool to completely reopen slaughter plants in US making it appear as though this is needed. All this is and has been an elaborate lie. They will kill every horse if you Do not speak against this. Call Congress and Demand these horses lives be spared. If they opt to kill them demand they give them to qualified rescues and owners instead.
Do not kill the horses!!!!
Gorgeous creatures deserve to live
Once again our government is bought by special interest groups. I thought “we the people” were suppose to run this country, not the cattle industry. Leave “our” wild horses alone!!!
McClintock and the cattlemen the represents says a much more humane way to deal with the “problem,” is slaughter and surgical sterilization.
How about we do that to humans? If this planet is over populated with anything, it’s people
The BLM doesn’t “vote” on anything, they make final decisions about what’s supposedly best for millions of acres they own. Many horses are starving because there’s not enough feed on the range lands. I think you should call for transporting them to national parks instead of a petition to keep them on barren desert lands. There’s a lot of places they could transplant horse herds.

This is horrific! These horses are beautiful, majestic, beings who deserve protection, compassion, empathy, dignity, and respect. It is greed, power, and control. that causes this! STop and let them live free!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m Native American, you people slaughtered our Buffalo’s to almost extinct, now your doing it tour our Horses! May our God have mercy on yalls soul’s. Save the Horses O Heavenly Father I pray …
Not true they brought horse here. Their really bad animals for three land and water.
DISGRACEFUL!
Don’t kill these animals . All blood sacrifices are made to Satan
These animals have been free their whole lives for centuries. So who are we to say they should no long be that way and have a right to live their lives in the wild…
How ’bout advertising for FREE HORSES and allow locals to come take them to care for them, rather than point blank slaughtering them!
Horses died out long before white man stepped onto land in America. White man brought the horses back over to America. So it’s not your horses number one. And my relatives didn’t slaughter your buffalo just like we didn’t have slaves.
I happen to own two mustangs one captured in NV and one in WY where I lived. Ever see a horse starve to death? it’s a hard thing to look at.
The BLM has been full of horses for years. I lived 1/4 mile away got one of mine there. Everyone who has an opinion should have to adopt one first. Other wise your part of the problem not the solution. Put your money where your mouth is spend $125 and go rescue one.
I am sickened by the fact that 8 people make this decision. I wonder if they can hold their heads high when their children and grandchildren ask them what kinds of decisions they have to make. You should be ashamed to be so greedy to take the lives of 44,000 horses. I hope that one day, each of you who voted for this slaughter suffer the same way they do. And by the way, beef is disgusting.
Didn’t happen

This article is irrelevant. It doesn’t deny my article, it actually supports it – that the BLM supports more “management” aka opposed to lagging “nature cull the herd” … and it’s from May. The vote was last week.
This is such an atrocity!! Stop, don’t slaughter our precious wild horses!! They deserve to live and continue life living free!! We don’t need more land for cattle. The private ranchers that raise beef just want more money out of greed and disrespect to our native wild horses!!
Stop the slaughtering of these beautiful wild horses. It is despicable to want to kill these horses in their natural habitat for your selfish gain. I cannot comprehend such hideous action. Please stop this and let them live.
Horse should live no 1 has right to kill them
Wild horses are a part of our heritage and need to be protected, not slaughtered. The demand for beef should not outweigh the demand to keep wildlife, such as these horses, thriving. This is about money and greed and cannot be allowed. I am sure there are alternatives to destroying these majestic animals. If the general population were to be made aware of this, I’m sure the majority would be horrified. Don’t kill off our national wildlife to appease cattle ranchers !
BLM have lost their way from land management. They make money by leasing to farmers and ranchers, but still they forgot they were hired to manage the land and wildlife in their nature…not ranchers and farmers who do not own public lands. The Office of BLM catters to them more than taking care of Public stock…and even lost the knowledge of how to maintain the horses in their Nature.
Denise Davis: Horses didn’t die out before the white man stepped onto this land in America. The Spanish brought most of the horses here, and the Mexican Rancheros were the masters of horsemenship back then before they cut horses loose in the southwest. We Tribal people eventually found these wild horses roaming around, and soon became a different breed of horsemen that was never seen before by the invaders of this lands…until they raided our way of life. Now…the BLM forgot what they were hired to do. Take care of the Public Lands and the Nature on it, which includes the Wild life..and Wild horses are part of that Nature. Some Ranchers and Farmers leased these Public lands, and are now acting like owners of public lands. Now the Mustangs have to take the blame ford their greed by living on their land, because these ranchers and farmers want more land and water… Sounds firmilar to Tribal People.

Please leave our natural horses, mustangs alone! How could you possibly feel by dealing with paperwork ever realize that nature has to be left alone! Do not touch our nature that God has given us the pleasure to still have in the United States of America! Shame on any man or woman to take this small part of our beginnings away and change the normal way of life away from our children of the future! Shame on you!
My heart is broken, this is very sad. Please STOP this massacre!!!
Let the horse’s live
Let the people who love them get them
GREED !!!
Plz,let the horse’s live their life full term,cows are slaughtered to feed humans ,and horses are getting killed in the name of rearing cows which are killed .
Such a shame. Let them all live…free!
Are u all dumb theses animals are not indigenous to this land. They should of never been allowed to exist to begin with 1 is overpopulation.
Simple true learn ur facts
And cattle are native?
This is outrageous. Stop listening to big ag whose only interest is making money. Protect our wildlife; that includes wild horses. What we need is to end the production of animals for food and revert back to clean food … plants. NO MORE BLOOD!
“The BLM says the cost of caring for a horse in a coral is nearly $50,000 over the lifetime of each animal. That equates to over a billion dollars based on the current number being held, McClintock said.”. Surely Mr McClintock means the horses are being kept in a “Corral” or has he taken them to the sea side for a holiday?? How can any public representative be credible when they can not even spell correctly? All wild populations have natural rise and decline in their numbers, that is why it is known as ‘nature’. As has been shown many times, when you remove one section of the eco-system either another takes over or the section which has been removed over-populates themselves to compensate. Why are more cattle needed to be produced when there is already so much waste food being dumped? This, as well as many other situations needs much careful thinking before any thing is done.
At the very least, we could eat the horses that we slaughter…and all the cats and dogs we euthanize every day…might not have to raise so many cattle that way, since we’re just going to eat them, too.
Where and when is it ok to so completely polarize a subject and issue, so that no one can come to an understanding on the truth of an issue. The slant and fire kindling of the article is unconsciouable. Stir it up and reap the dollars, is that today’s journalism? Has anyone considered the BLM employee who is charged with the impossibility of managing without funding? Or the rancher who for generations has eased a living off the lands of the west only to have the resource ground into the dirt by miss management. How is it reasonable to have ones lively hood mandated by an urban sect who have no understanding. It’s like feeling like a wildlife manager after watching Bambi. My parents were old school journalists. They would not stand for this.
While I agree that some of public land in the west should be left for horses and that they should be managed for sustainability, and also think that cattle ranching has far too much influence within the BLM, this issue is much more complex than it’s being presented.
For one thing, these are feral horses that were originally released by settlers and ranchers in the 19th century. The modern horse is native to central and western Asia, not here. Yes, the horse family did evolve in North America, but they were far different creatures with a far different (human-free) environment.
Horses will definitely starve as their populations continue to increase beyond the land’s carrying capacity. That’s how nature works. And that’s with or without cattle. Yes, ranchers see horses as competitors for grass their cattle need. But they lease that land for a purpose and we shouldn’t expect land managers to totally ignore their concerns.
Finally, this is a “problem” long in the making. For years the BLM has rounded up and cared for horses to prevent starvation. They aren’t cruel to them and do not want them kept in enclosures long-term. They’ve tried to adopt out as many horses as they can, but there definitely aren’t enough people who are willing to adopt, train and care for a mustang. BLM personnel on the ground are nearly all horse-lovers. The decisions get made in Washington.
Although I certainly don’t agree that that many horses need to be put down, I do see the obvious need to control populations of a beautiful but non-native species. Aside from letting them starve I don’t see many good options. This is public land but it’s under lease. Still public land, so by all means make your voices heard. But educate yourself and don’t come off as 100% emotional, or nobody will take you seriously.
This is so wrong!
How would you like it if all the people against killing the horses, started killing you asshole…

This is absurd!! Leave the horses alone!! Greadd for money is killing everything in this country!
We need to change horses as companion animals not livestock. Look what the horse has allowed us to do. They helped form who we are today. Give them what they have earned and deserve. Love dignity and compassion. It makes me sad that this is even a thought and that people would do this. SHAME on the BLM.
At least give it two years for people to find another way to leave the people fighting for horses’ “rights” a way to live and let live.
Get rid of all the trash that voted for this, that is our land those cattle are on get rid of them, keep our Beautiful Horses they are our heritage! Get rid of all those sorry Congress, Senate and House of Representatives! Now!
Why not start a horse rescue or sell them? Killing is not the right thing to do – horses are such a beautiful gift from God!!
Marsha Higginbotham, we must be related but I will never claim it. My name is Marilee Higginbotham Lear, yes, that Lear and what are you gonna vote on next. Slaughter 4 million Americans to make way for 4 million Muslims to enter this country. You should be slaughtered!
Please consider the preservation of these beautiful animals for future generations. This decision is not humane nor should it be able to be rationalized – it’s simply complete slaughter.
those horses like the Indians were here 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop this insane horse killings !!! They are not overpopulated but are being killed by competing cattle industry that has big pull on Congress !!! This post explains why there was a jump in birth rates last year it was because so many had been rounded up in feed lots !
This is another story of corporate greed !!!

Come on guys…
i can only say this God is watching and i would hate to be the greedy assholes that w kill wild horses for their own material gain….wouldnt WANT to be you on judgment day
The BLM lands are PUBLIC lands. We support the BLM with our tax dollars and therefore we ought to be the ones who decide how that land will be used. I vote to spare the mustangs and tell the cattlemen to purchase their own grazing land just like real Americans do. The U.S. government doesn’t cut REAL Americans a break for growing gardens and the cattlemen have no business STEALING grazing land from you and me so that they don’t have to pay for the land they use.
These equines are part of our American Heritage. As such they are part and parcel of MY American Heritage. I personally think that every one of us who objects to the cattlemen stealing our land for their purposes should cease to eat or wear anything from a cow. No beef on the table, and no leather on my feet. We have alternatives. And I promise that if these wild horses are slaughtered for the greed of the cattlemen and the politicians who are undoubtedly taking favors for their votes, I will never ever eat beef or wear leather again. And my fellow and sister Americans, if every one of us does this it will change the course of history in the United States of America. Regardless of weather it stops the slaughter, we will have an experience where we are no longer sheeple. So far we just bitch and moan but we have done nothing active to deliver a serious consequence to those who think we are pushovers. When the cattlemen are forced to cut their beef prices by 70 or 80% just to get rid of their animals, all of North American politics will sing a different tune and will stop disregarding that ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. NO WILD HORSE SLAUGHTER; NONE HERE, NONE IN MEXICO, NONE IN CANADA. If you must eat flesh then eat chicken, pork, or fish.
This is obscene. Where do some get the idea they can kill anything in their way? Put these horses out for adoption across the country and stop the murder!
I am 100% against this. Wanted to sign petition but couldn’t find it.
At top of article
This is what happens when you vote in the wrong people and they decide without consent of the entities who truly own the land – taxpayers. If BLM manages it, it isn’t privately owned – so they should not have the right to make such decisions without getting it approved by the true owners – US. Government needs to get a grip and stop thinking it has rights that it doesn’t. Let the Wild horses roam!!
Stop giving our natural heritage to big beef producers. Get cows off federal land.
If certain people such as the illegals wouldn’t breed like mice than we wouldn’t have an overpopulation of people.
This makes me furios! Killing off 44,000 wild horses so cattle can have the land is wrong!First off the wild herds have been here before the ranches were, and second cattlemen ate just out to make more money. I think the cattle ranchers should have to cut the size of their herds so that the horses have room
Has anyone thought about moving the to another state and try to balance them that way or is killing them your ONLY plan? You talk about making them sterile which would end up making wild mustangs extinct!!! Maybe we need people on the land management that love horses and NOT just cattle. The ranchers that belong to Cattleman Association have money to throw around and it seems to me that THEY are the owned saying what is to be done.People talk all the time about buffalo and others animals that have almost become extinct and here you ate wanting to do the same thing with these horses!It’s time to THINK about what you’re proposing! It’s so wrong in so many ways!

STOP THIS MADNESS!! Horses are the Spirit animal of America! When you slaughter them for Your Greed you kill the Soul of Our Country! They represent the best qualities of Us! I’m disgusted and sad…

Typical brainless government who think they have all the answers but really don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.
I vote to round-up all the suits at this meeting, slaughter them and feed them to the horses.
All life is sacred, regardless of what form it takes.

Un-American! These beautiful horses represent FREEDOM in America. They are part of the American spirit in the wild.
Killing these horses is like destroying the principles this great country was founded on. Our forefathers would be appalled.
STOP this senseless and expensive coral management. Sterilize and please release these wild animals back to their natural habitat.
They deserve the same freedoms you enjoy.

From Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/blm-euthanize-44000-horses/
WHAT’S TRUE: On 9 September 2016, an advisory board to the Bureau of Land Management voted to authorize the destruction of several thousand wild horses, and the outcome of that vote was forwarded to the BLM for review.
WHAT’S FALSE: The BLM itself did not vote to slaughter horses and has not yet made a decision on the recommendation that they should do so.
I have ZERO faith in ANYTHING coming from Snopes, and here’s why – http://accuracyinpolitics.blogspot.com/2013/05/snopes-got-snoped.html
They have ZERO background in investigation and are NOT a neutral party, being severely left leaning.
Leave the wild horses alone! They have a right to life and breeding just like the rest of us.

I think it is a sin and a shame that anyone is even thinking about killing these horses. Man thinks they can just kill every creature that is in his way to make money. It’s disgusting.
How about we cull the heard of politicians instead?
Save these wild horse.
Don’t do it. Please don’t do it.
It’s a blot on all of us. Everywhere and for a long time to come.

This idea to engage in mass killing of these horses to make way for more cattle is brutal and bad policy. Cattle are responsible for ruining much land, not horses! Familiarize yourselves with the film Cowspiracy for a clearer picture. Stop the notion that killing is good! Americans must learn to care for what is left wild, because the more “taming” we do, the worse our artificial situation becomes, to everyone’s detriment. And ignorance of this fact does, and has never, made it right!
dispicable
Don´t do this. Wild horses have the right to live there. Don´t kill them because of profit.
This is the same reason we have deer season: to thin the herd to avoid suffering by starving animals to death. It’s not just horses. This is sad, but it’s how nature works.
Besides, this story is bullshit. The BLM hasn’t **voted** to do ANYTHING. It only received a recommendation.
http://www.snopes.com/blm-euthanize-44000-horses/
This is criminal! Where is PETA? Slaughtering all of those horses because of beef cattle? This damnable government is out of control! Here in Arizona the Saudi’s just bought thousand of acres of land to raise beef cattle so I presume they are calling the shots on this! In order to have water for all of those beef cattle that they are raising they are raiding the already low supply of water here in Arizona. How are they getting this done? Where is our government to protect America and Americans? This is Obama at work again…..doing nothing to protect America only endanger it more! Why don’t the Saudi’s stay where they belong and it is not HERE!
We reap what we have sown. The decision makers in this and most wildlife,and environment cases, are stooges for industry-agriculture/industry, and a slew of other business interests who are more than happy to pay off these corrupt officials. There really are NO LIMITS to their greed, ignorance, and arrogance…I don’t look to miracles in this life.I can only wish that someday those responsible for this slaughter, would experience the terror,the panic, and pain that these poor animals will suffer
If you’re still eating beef and lamb, you’re complicit in this Dark Ages methodology. Why must our species first line response to a perceived problem be to KILL ‘IT’ as if these horses were non-sentient beings. Aren’t we who consider ourselves to be the superior species better that this??? We are long overdue to join the 21st century with our thinking and our treatment of ALL non-human beings, including these horses.
So an unConstitutional ABC agency is going to kill off animals that are NOT legally in their rights to oversee and regulate, being unConstitutionally formed themselves, instead of allowing the PEOPLE of the States to adopt and care for them.
