It breaks my heart to see the holding facilities that these mustangs get sent to after roundups. What a life… I plan to apply to adopt a mustang soon—it’s the least I can do. Keep up the fight Madeleine!

I live in Nevada, come from a livestock heritage, and I support the horses being here. Running the hooves off a foal is inexcuseable! Horses dying of dehydration or hyperhydration is inexcuseable.
Horses dying because they can’t adjust to the diet (alfafa) is inexcuseable. If I did anything like that to my horses I would be charged, convicted and in prison for animal abuse.

This is fantastic what is happening. I am so glad the Mustangs will be at the Tournament of Roses. The more exposure the better and we will get it done.

These horses need our help therefore it is our responsibility as human beings to help those who cannot help themselves.

Wow, people really think that 38 horses on 100,000 is not enough food for them. It’s the cattle that are eating the feed and drinking all the water. Really horses are disposable which is why they shoot them and send them to slaughter. The cattle barons want the land and grass.
Thank you for doing the site for all the people to see the animals for what they are but the work is just starting, so I’m with you and anyone else that is on the side of the animals the need a voice. Thanks again

Thank you for coming to the defense of these poor animals… They have 1 thing that we DON"T have and that is Freedom… and of course, there have to be idiots trying to take that away from them as well… This is crazy. Go hunt a politician instead

Sorry for this being a bit off topic but WHY in the world would the BLM even consider this proposal to allow wild horses to roam on land that only one year ago found four positive cases of CWD in the Elk that roamed there what with all we know about CWD prions surviving in feces, contaminated soil? Maybe there’s just no proof that CWD transmits to horses, yet.

Elk Run could host wild horses
Jul, 31, 2010 01:03 PM - Post-Bulletin (Rochester, MN)July 31—PINE ISLAND—Elk Run could be home to a herd of wild horses if a proposed plan gets approval from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Elk Run biobusiness park developer Tower Investments has applied to host a herd of wild horses with BLM’s National Wild Horse and Burro program, said John Pierce, senior vice president for Tower. He said the application, if accepted, would be a 5-year commitment.
The group should know within 90 days if they have been accepted for the program, Pierce said. If Tower wins the contract, the horses would roam on land that used be an elk ranch, which makes up most of the Elk Run development land. Last year, 558 elk on the land were killed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture so the animals could be tested for chronic wasting disease. A female in the herd had tested positive for the disease earlier in 2009.
Rifle shooters took shifts at night shooting the animals in large fenced-in areas. Testing of the animals revealed three among the herd also tested positive for CWD. CWD is a fatal brain and nervous system disease found in animals such as deer or elk in certain parts of North America. According to health officials, there is no evidence that CWD can be transmitted to humans.
The BLM horse program helps relocate horses and burros to keep wild herd populations manageable. More than 35,000 animals are housed at short-term corrals and long-term pastures including nearly 25,000 in Midwestern pastures, according to the bureau’s website.
Tower applied for a contract to care for up to 1,000 horses. BLM pays for related expenses and would pay the developer $1.30 per horse per day to care for the animals. With a herd of 500 horses, the company could make nearly $24,000 a year.
Pine Island Mayor Paul Perry said he doesn’t know any new information about the plan’s status, but likes the idea of having wild horses on the land.
“I was raised in a family that had horses ... I always likes watching horses run over the pastures,” Perry said. “Everybody really enjoyed the elk when they were out there. I would imagine horses would be the same thing.”
The horse program shouldn’t affect plans for the biotech park.Construction for the development, located near Pine Island, should start this fall.

I thank you for all the hard work you put in for these mustangs. The summer of 2009 I was out west and seen the wild mustangs. They are beautiful, strong, muscular will feed animals. Not every one can afford to buy a refuge. So I support you in all you do and have sent letters to help. Thank you and God bless you and all your doings.

I love horses but lets be realistic. Why don’t all you complainers put “your” money into buying a refuge. Then hire a few vets and people to manage your horses. And when they over populate don’t go crying to Uncle Sam for bail out money! You people HURT MY HEAD!
