Haven’t spent much time in the west where the wild horses
are have you.....if you had you would know that they roam
VAST tracts of open unfenced BLM land. And I have HAD
wild horses on my property grazing and doing NO harm.....till some asshat from Kalifornia moved nearby, was an idiot and planted GRASSin an unfenced yard and then had the nerve to complain to the BLM that the horses were eating his grass. And THAT is all it takes for the tin god bureaucrats at the BLM to round up a herd of beautiful and harmless animals to turn them into glue and dog food.
Less than a third of wild horses rounded up by the fed gov
survive to be adopted. Most are dead within months of being corralled.
Been there long enough to reazlize there always a fence line at some point and that fenceline puts limits on what and how much wildlife it can carry. These horses are no more than feral animals and if limits are not put on them they will eventually over populate their area. Our big ranch totals 42 square miles and like any other piece of land it has limitation. I can run about 14 head of cows per square mile, if feral hogs come into play that cuts into the amount of cows I can run. The people who lease BLM for cattle pay good money for that lease and need to get that back and then some to make a profit, feral horses running the same land cut into that profit by limiting the amount of cows they can run. You can always just go lease some land yourself and then you have every right to determine whats on it. If your not willing to do that then you show less concern for land than I do and we’ve been managing land for well over 120 years and have done quite well at it.

Typical government. Take them to slaughter and at least get something out of it. Oh and a large remainder of the other horses meet the same demise, they just get passed around for a while before it happens.
