horses are not protected by the law anymore, Obama passed a law that said they can be slaughtered! i think that is horrible and that they should be protected and not used for dog food, fertilizer, or eating for pleasure! SAVE THE HORSES!

We human beings have become cruel and unfeeling creatures.Wild horses and burros are Gods living, breathing creations,we should be doing all in our power to protect them from the BLM. We all need to contact the BLM and tell them what we think of them,maybe they should be relocated.Please everyone do what you can, donate what you can to save these animals.

Loaded poll, somewhat dumb. "Yes," "no," or "not sure" would be more appropriate answers than the follow-up comment included in the response. How about: "No, the horses should be shipped off to countries that slaughter them for food." Or, "Yes, wild horse populations should be managed to keep them in balance with the land's capability to support them." The possibilities are endless in a "push poll" like this. Quite naive.

They should still be able to live and roam freely without getting into harm because of heartless people in this world, and for you Suzanne its rude of you to think that horses cant roam around on public land just VERY VERY RUDE && HEARTLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the bureau of land management is a totally depraved federal govt agency. some of them have taken bribes from oil companies, taken rides in their airplanes, taken money and vacations in their homes. if the oil companies do it, the cattle ranchers do it too. this is nothing but money and venality and mendacity going on. the horses can exist there perfectly well. they always did. if you find people being merciless to horses put them in jail for a few decades. the citizens in this country have written over one million letters to save those wild horses in their own birth sites. blm is a holdover from the antienvironmental bush/cheney scum. and obama is letting it continue. we need to vote these scum out of office.
In point of fact, the horses are reintroduced native wildlife. The entire genus Equus originated in North America and they lived here for millions of years, spreading over the world over the various land bridges that came and went. About 5,000 years ago, they were almost wiped out here by an extinction event. The only species extant at that time was Equus caballus. The Spaniards reintroduced horses to their native land in the 1500s. The horses the Spaniards brought were Equus caballus - the exact same species that almost went extinct 5,000 years before.
These horses have been living in their native land for almost 500 years now. They existed in perfect harmony with the environment and other wildlife until the white man came along with his cattle. The horses are perfectly adapted to their habitat, and survive there very well if left alone. Eurasian derived cattle, on the other hand, are very poorly adapted to the high desert environment.
Besides all that, there are less than 30,000 horses and 6 or 7 MILLION cattle. Even the GAO has repeatedly reported that it's the cattle NOT the horses that are destroying the range, and that no matter how many horses the BLM removes the range doesn't improve because the horses are not the problem.

It doesn't matter if you hold these animals 'wild' or 'feral'; the simple fact is their progenitors pre-date the arrival of Caucasians by several hundred years.
Applying domestic Horse standards to Wild Horses is foolish. Wild Horses & Burros are now and have always been survivors. But to say they 'compete' with livestock forforage assumes the Wild Equine has any chance at all when they are outnumbered and under-represented by the Bureau.
'Thriving ecological balance' was so much easier to maintain before humans began 'managing' the land and the life upon it. Everyone presumes wildlife must stay in the same areas as Wild Equines and they DON'T. Wild life can and does roam. If you find wildlife with Wild Equines, it's because that's where they choose to be.
And penning up Wild Equines to save their lives is about the dumbest logic I've ever heard of.
But the BLM's Wild Horse & Burro program is less about the welfare of Wild Equines and more about the Bureau asserting it's power over Federal (Public) lands and those who hold special favor: Livestock & Mining Industries.
THAT is an irrefutable fact. You have only to look at Grazing permit areas and Mining Claims to see what gets top priority, and what's considered disposable.

The "wild" horses found on public lands are not native to this country (as the cattle allowed to decimate publics ar also not). They are more accurately FERAL horses. No one loves horses (animals) more than I do. For all the bleeding hearts about BLM's policies of control, you are obviously less informed than some of us. Leaving the horses out there in minimal conditions for health or survival is inhumane. Sure they compete with the cattle for food and water, that's a whole other story. They also are competing against the true wildlife such as deer. elk, and antelope for forage and water. The wildlife is adapted to living in what litle shelter is available during periods of extreme heat and cold. The hoses are not, and will not adapt, they suffer, die of thirst, starvation, and freeze to death when their stamina against the elements are compromised. Another real hardship for the horses around the Black Rock Desert are the PEOPLE. Go see for yourself what recreation those horses afford for the gun toting four wheeler types. They are not shooting pictures. They often will chase the horses to exhaustion, often causing injury, and death. On and on, BS is prevailing in the debate often from people who really know NOTHING about "wild" horses.
Nice poll. I'm glad there are so few that think the horses don't belong on public land and even fewer that feel that cattle are "worth more" than horses.
