    First, I cant believe I wasted my time clicking, second, I cant believe a person with a thought running through their head, would make a video like this. Must have plenty of time to do nothing, talk about freeloading. Third, cowbirds have evolved to hang around livestock and pick off insects that are disturbed by the animals. They often eat pests of the animals and they also tend to eat a lot of grasshoppers, which most farmers and ranchers could do without. So, I wonder who the freeloader really is. I might not defend people this way, but I sure will defend an animal this way. It is a shame that, in todays world, people revel in their ignorance.

    Times are different, things have changed. (Not to mention that the "millions of buffalo" lived on the Great Plains -- Well watered grasslands -- not the Great Basin -- A rocky cold desert with little grass and tiny amounts of water -- where virtually all of today's feral horses are found.)

    I enjoyed the slow movement of your video. I agree that they are not overpopulated, but overcrowded. You didn't name the so-called "humane" animal welfare groups, so I will: The Humane Society of the United States, sister-affiliated Humane Society Legislative Fund, ASPCA, Return To Freedom -- sold out wild horses and burros. If you went to their websites you would think they are champions. They are proponents of massive roundups and removals of these animals and they are hiding this from the public. Did you want to point out that wild horses have never been managed? Herd Management Area Plans are required by Code of Federal Regulations to have them prepared. Gov't has never tried to manage them on the land, only run them off.

    "They're overpopulated"- Well they are, considering all that's been tried to manage them. The gatherings, holding pens, adoption, training events, registries, PZP, Geld/Spay and I'm sure if the public could stomach it shooting and slaughter would've been attempted also. Yet the numbers have been growing largely unchecked for decades now. "have no natural predators"- Oh sure they do, they just can't keep the numbers in check. The Great Basin is too arid for wolves, black and grizzly bears eat more plant matter than meat and going off of what happens in Yellowstone (With the Elk) they'd probably only eat the odd foal or two during spring anyway and cougars abound, but a few small herds aside, simply can't eat enough horses fast enough to curb growth. Clearly coyotes have a negligible impact when it comes to predation. Since as the most abundant predator in most HMA's and the Ranges if they were scarfing down foals and other horses in large numbers every year, it would be noticeable. "serve no useful purpose"- I've heard claims about how mustangs and burros spread grass seeds, eliminate weeds, prevent wildfires via consuming potential fuel load... But even if any of that was true, it's hard to believe that they're the only ones who could accomplish such things. Really, any large grazing mammal could. Elk, mule/whitetail deer, bighorns, bison, cattle, sheep, goats. Doesn't make the horses any more special honestly. "bring in no economic return"- Oh the odd charismatic herd gets a fan following and devotees go to see them, but the Pryor Mountain, Kiger and such and such herds aren't the norm. They're a derivative. I reckon not many people are going to drive out to the middle of nowhere in Nevada to ohh and aww over the horses. "Western rangelands can only support 27,000 of them, according to the BLM, because a nominal amount of the forage--at least 60%--has been allocated to privately owned cattle and sheep, on land set aside for the horses."- I say 27,000 is plenty enough myself! Maybe the BLM would actually be able to find homes for every horse rounded-up if they only had a few hundred to a thousand per year to re-home. Not to mention, the ranchers who run those cows and sheep actually pay to graze them on public land. The rates could use raising (To like, actual market value), but the fact is, the ranchers do pay their due. Furthermore, they and the BLM actually go through all the trouble of maintaining the land and even improving it! Fencing keeps animals from getting into trouble, water developments quench thrist during droughts, weed eradication keeps poisonous plants at bay and controlled burns are good for the land. And are we really forgetting that the ranchers usually only graze on public lands for a few months out of every year. Plus how many of them don't even run as many stock as they could due to voluntarily under-stocking. Not to mention how the BLM can tell the ranchers to decrease the number of stock grazed (If not destock entirely) due to environmental situations like droughts or wildfires. And if I recall the 1971 Act correctly the whole "Principally, but not exclusively" language only applies to Ranges, not HMA's. Theirs only three Horse Ranges and one for Burros, the rest of the wild ones live on HMA's and HA's... which therefore do not need to be managed principally for their benefit. Multiple-use is appropriate and within the Act in those areas. "Now, the public-lands ranchers, along with their allies at HSUS, ASPCA and RTF are on the move, pushing a management plan that will remove 70% of America's wild horses from their home range, many of them ending up in segregated pastures, no family, no foals, no legacy."- Now that doesn't sound like too terrible of an outcome to me! Fewer unwanted births that result in horses that can't be placed in private care, mares no longer having baby after baby year after year until exhausted, stallions that become geldings which don't need to constantly fight and squabble over harems. Plus you know, regular vet and dental care, food delivered to them everyday and the easy life that comes with living in captivity. "The forage sold to the ranchers, about nine million AUMs per year, would support at least 750,000 wild horses and burros."- Yeah, but that land was never set aside for the horses and burros in the first place. Again, if I recall correctly, the 1971 Act specifies that only areas where the animals currently lived at that time where to be set aside for them. To clear every acre of public land for the wild ones use... you'd have to amend the Act itself! Not to mention, what on earth is America supposed to do with that many feral animals? We can't even manage the population we have right now, making it THAT large would only set up a major disaster. "It's time to end public-lands ranching."- How about, no? Those ranchers and their families literally rely on the public lands in order to be viable ranching operations in the first place. If you kick them all off, not only would the BLM lose a major source of revenue, but the lands themselves would likely fall into disarray since nobody would be maintaining them anymore. And then when the ranches close down, they sell their privates lands. Which are inevitably intermingled with the public lands. Which also then get bought out by developers, who subdivide them and make ranchettes or even condos out of them. Which then means more people, who need more water, who tromp around on the nearby public lands, who disturb the animals who live there... er, basically a giant mess. And not good for the environment. Truly, I don't expect you to agree with me on any of my points and obviously you're not about to change your beliefs. But eh, just wanted to say my piece.
