We, the members and supporters of Friends of Animals, located in every state and in several countries, firmly oppose the Bureau of Land Management's proposal to round up and remove yet more of free-roaming wild horses and burros from U.S. public lands

Done. I'll keep signing these until they straighten out that horrid and corrupt agency for good. sheesh.
We have had a very corrupt BLM that has done a lot of damage to the future and the heritage of the American People, even thought the BLM should be serving OUR interests. It is clear and undeniable that the BLM has been working for the freeloading ranchers who mooch off taxpayers by grazing their herd animals on OUR lands. It's time to boot ALL ranchers off ALL Public lands for good. It they are such losers that they can't finance their own businesses, then they should be doing something else. If they are making big profits by mooching and leeching on Taxpayer lands, then they must be stopped. The public lands should be maintained as pristine habitat and wilderness for the benefit of ALL of us and not damaged by ranchers and their herd animals for the benefit of a corrupt and freeloading few. It's time for all activity on Public lands to stop. No mining, no drilling, no roads for logging, no logging, and no grazing of herd animals by freeloaders. It's time for our public lands to be turned back to the wild horses that belong there, with the prairie dogs and the wolves. NO more mooching by the freeloaders who have corrupted OUR government for so many years. No more round ups and no more selling off OUR horses cheap.

When I checked last week, these were all still active, if anyone is interested-

Thanks Cher!!!

Frankly, just checked since I had already signed this petition on Change.Org and there are on 41 signatures, what is with that? I am shocked...guys...what are you on this site for unless you want to make a difference...if we DO NOT GET things done, we are failing our creatures horribly, and if no one cares about this anymore on this site, frankly, I personally do not want to be here...

Thanks Cher...Noted with Sorrow that there are way to few signatures!!!

JennyLynn, there is enough public land that all of the things you mentioned can be supported to some degree. Logging, mining, drilling, grazing, recreation too. Our public lands are not all worthy of wilderness designation. And if you want to get right down to it, horses don't belong on them any more than cows and sheep do. They are all introduced species that degrade the land our native wildlife depend on. The BLM Is mandated to manage the horses, and until someone comes up with a better solution, and some money to make it happen, then horse round-ups will continue.

wish I could sign but only allows U.S. residents. sorry not being able to as this affects us all. why do they put hunters in ranchers in charge of the blm? obviously they have a vested interest in getting rid of the wild things.
