>>, so that every wild horse born will be able to live to a ripe, old horse age? <<
I presume you are talking about their off-spring being able to live to a ripe, old horse age too. Exactly where do you plan on keeping these horses because right now the West is overflowing with them! They are eating themselves out of house and home. That’s why they get rounded up and sent to the slaughter houses.
If states rights becomes and issue in the next election or even the next decade, all the now public lands will be turned over to the states that legally own it. At that time just how big of a fight do you expect there will be when county voters get to decide just how much taxes they are willing to pay to let them graze to this ripe, old horse age that you so keenly desire.
I suggest that you get the Wild Horse Old-timers Association (WHOA) to start a collection fund right now.
“Exactly where do you plan on keeping these horses . . ..?
I do not plan to keep them any place. Their numbers should be tightly controlled by whatever humane means are practicable. We have gov’t regulations for limiting the numbers of wolves and other wild animals, for the convenience, safety and other human interests and needs, such as maintaining numbers of ungulate game animals for the benefit of sport and meat hunters. Very, very few of ever see a wild horse in its “wilderness” habitat, or even really want to.
