Did you know that there is a “1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act?” Probably not, but then when one considers the volume of legislation created just at the federal level — legislation that remains in force, the normal reaction would be one of astonishment, of being utterly overwhelmed, of one’s eyes just glazing over. No wonder congressmen and senators have no idea what they’re voting on much of the time.
Anyway, apparently we have a crisis of excess horses and burrows running wild in western states. Enter the Bureau of Land Management and a dispute they have with the Humane Society of the United States.
Here’s the crisis in a nutshell for your consideration.
The Horse is an invasive species in North America. They were first introduced during early European immigration to North America. They are not “Wild Life” they are “Feral.” Yes they are beautiful animals and they should be aggressively managed to protect the health of the herds and our ecology.
Birth control was suggested years ago. That would have been the most humane management practice.
Let them roam like they’ve been doing for centuries
This is just wrong and it needs to be stopped immediately and permanently
The SPCA should raise hell over this BS.What a F#ckn jerk.
You are sick
15 million is a drop in a bucket compared with much less worthy things that the govt pays out. How much do the Obamas spend a year on vacations?
The money can be found, and increased in the bloated Federal Budget.
How can they be so heartless? My heart just aches … and this was the man we put in office, trusting him with America and all our Country stands for? Betrayal and Treason to our Country?
Total b******t.
where are his raving environmentalists now?
