I hate to be the pessimist in the crowd but the BLM (you know those fools that already have 33,00+ wild burros and mustangs in overcrowded unhealthy holding pens and yet continue roundups) is still in charge of the wild horses and they have NEVER let a little thing like breaking a law or completely ignoring what is best for the horses and burros and the American Public, guess they can't get their hands out of the cattlemens wallets long enough to make a truly honorable decision. I will continue to be the sworn enemy of the BLM and call for their investigation, judgement and sentencing on crimes against the animals, wild spaces and the american public

This is wonderful news! Why does the government ALWAYS have to stick their noses where it is not needed or intended? God provided for these animals to run wild and free and that's the way it should be!

I agree Aba I too know how Blm and Cloud work they are theives they could care less about the passing of theis law. The horses that they are holding now should be shipped back now!!! But they have beenholding them forever sick and hurt from the last round up. I can't rest knowing that BLM and Cloud wants all horses and Burros gone its been said and proven they don't care its all about money to them. They had better step in and put other people in over them why Hech that wouldn't matter either. There all for money period. This is good news don't get me wrong I just don't trust these people and no one else should either. Thanks Maria O and Aba for the foward

Sure this is wonderful news, but I am really afraid that some Greedy politician will put a cork into it and stop it again. One of the petitions I signed for a area to be kept for the horses failed, and even though this so far looks terrific (don't get me wrong I am jumping with glee)they already took away some of the acres that were promised to be kept...saying we will do it someplace else (NOT). We have to protect nature not keep taking over and abusing it. I really do hope and pray this is a WIN WIN WIN and no GREEDY MONEY GRABBING ROTTEN PERSON gets their hands on it or as they say in the POT.

The clown Glen Beck was on his show saying in disgust the other night how outrages it is to spend money on horses and burro's he said the only mustang he wants is a convertible then laughed like the naive idiot he is and was appalled at the idea of birthcontrol being used on the horses...Just had to vent thank you Maria!!
