Comments on: Proposed Wild Horse and Burrow Act HR 1018 Revisions https://theequinest.com/wild-horse-and-burrow-act-hr-1018-revisions Horse breeds and equine information Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:14:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Nikki https://theequinest.com/wild-horse-and-burrow-act-hr-1018-revisions/comment-page-1#comment-2757 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:21:22 +0000 http://www.theequinest.com/?p=9745#comment-2757 Honestly, I think some parts of the bill are good (like preventing these horses from going to slaughter [there are already regulations regaurding this, as it is illegal to send a govt owned horse to slaughter])… but there are other parts of it that will do emence damage to the program.
1) they want to stop the use of the contaceptive PZP on mares, which will allow them to breed uncontrollably.
2)They want to stop roundups
3) They want to get rid of many of the HMA bounderies and allow these horses to roam where they like, possibly into public areas once they run out of food from over population.
4) They want to make the euthanisation of wild horses illegal unless they are “terminally ill”. Look, I understand no one wants to see some of these animals put down, but we are running out of options.
5) They want to make it so you can only have horses in holding for 6 months (so what are they going to do? turn them back out?)
6) They want to stop the sale authority of 3 strike horses AND keep adopters from ever actually owning their horses.

I love these horses with all of my heart, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be as involved as I am with the program and getting the truth out there. The BLM has already exhausted every possible option and this bill will only increase the costs associating with the management of wild horses.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
