Overall, BLM has gathered a quarter of a million horses off the public range, but what's happening now is different from previous years, both in scale and long-term intent, and it is happening with virtually no oversight.

"They are saying, ‘Okay, we will do what we want.' They just totally caved in. What the public doesn't already realize is that these greatly reduced herd management areas are already a very serious reduction. But now they're just going for broke. They are saying, ‘Hell, get rid of them,'" said Craig Downer.

it seem they really are wrong for the job , they have not real understanding & commitment for the soul of the horse etc. they have lost their integrity in this, these people & should either do something else until they regain their compassion.

Please help get the word out that these horses will be up for adoption.If they cannot adopt them out this state is considering euthanizing them.That just cannot happen.

This is our tax money and it's about our public lands being handed over to greedy ranchers and others. YUK!! We must make this STOP! Can't we shut down the BLM or something until we get someone in there besides a suckup to ranchers?
