An alternative to slaughter is adoption. And now is the time to adopt a wild mustang if you can.

We have wild mustangs out west of us here in Southern Utah. I know there has been concern before about who was going to pay to feed and water them in the winter in previous years.

there is no heritage at risk this roundup has been happening annually for longer than I've been alive. There's eve a classic black and white movie about it. (The misfits 1961, Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable) Thinning a herd is not destroying it, it's keeping it from being destroyed.
That said if you want a good healthy horse this seems like a cheap and humane way to get one. Much better than turning them into dog food or whatever they do with 'em

It is a lie that they starve if they are not fed in winter . They evolved on this continent and thrive here . They do not eat what cattle do either , that too is a lie . BLM acts very like corporation . They do what the industrial ranchers want . These horses belong to the west . They pose no "threat " to cattle or property . Ranchers are just paranoid . Not one real study has been done . Most of them are killed being captured in barbaric ways . Let them be . The BLM needs to leave them alone . Right now they are a source of profit for the BLM . Those that aren't adopted , are used in other ways or their bodies rot where they fall .

Yes they were imported by the spanish . After they died out on this continent . They did originally evolve here , then spread out through the onetime bridge through russia and to europe . The continents drifted , they died out in north america . When they were reintroduced by the spanish , the population exploded because of their perfect adaptation here .

To all of you who make hilarity of Hindus and their sacred cows, think about how some people's attitude of the wild horse in America is so similar. Adopting a horse comes with the legal obligation to care for a rather large mammal that can rarely be tamed and thus a liability. Let alone the idea that it is an invitation of your rights being violated by the aspca anytime they choose.
