PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE TO SEE HOW THE BLM USES HELICOPTERS TO ROUND UP THE HORSES AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BABIES--LIKE IN THE PICTURE!

Shame on anyone who would not work to save this part of OUR AMERICA! Horses helped build this nation! They should be respected with honor, and protected to live on the land they helped make free for US.

Noted. Signed the petition already. BLM just want the land to raise cattle & get the tax payers to pay for it plus the killing of beautiful horses. Disgusting.
