One vs. et all

They originated here and were forced to leave. The strong came back in the bellies of ships the weak thrown overboard. They conquered the first Americans, plowed the fields, moved the goods and people. They gained us our freedom, from the British, freed the slaves. Two million went off to WWl, 200 came back. They stared in rodeo’s, movies, fed our dogs. A grateful country gave them some bad lands and weeds for building this place. It’s been a 500 year long journey and they became the most rugged creatures on gods earth. The very symbols of our freedom. Our President more then any man alive should be outraged. Once gone they will never be back. How can it all be taken from them and us by one man?

Energy

100 years ago we had no oil and horses. 100 years from now we will have no oil or horses. We lived relatively decent lives 100 years ago and horses were a major part of mankind's progress. Oil changed everything. We had it, used it, sold it and prospered from it to become a world superpower. We exported it and others also used it and found it. As our supplies diminish the wealth and power it created for us will ebb and flow to those with it. Our only hope for survival is to begin to think 100 years ago. What oil is left must be used wisely, we must consider becoming an agricultural nation again bartering food and clean water for our needs, because as other countries become more like us we need to survive as the earths resources are depleted. And yes someday horses may once again play a role in mankind's survival. The BLM is removing our Wild Mustangs off their legal ranges in record numbers. The very rugged survivors that could virtually live on brush and little water may vanish forever. 500 years of survival of the fittest, natural selection and DNA that may one day be needed to mix with other breeds. We need to at least begin to think about such things before it's too late.

TIRED

  I'm so tired of all the stories about the BLM taking our horses off our land. We can write till our fingers fall off and the BLM will never consider anything we say. We need to devise some new ways of dealing with them. The pending Federal Lawsuit is one way but we already know what will be the Courts opinion is going to be, don't we? They're enough of us to change elections but it would be hard to act in concert. Maybe we all need to be part of a single organization, bigger then the Sierra Club, or NRA. We need to be well funded and buy lobbyists. Maybe some of us should run for Congress. Something though needs to be done that will save 500 years of evolution, before it's gone. I know lets go to auctions and buy all the mustangs for a pittance and let them loose.

$700,000 says it all

 $700,000 to round up 2000 mustangs = $350 per horse. $350 for the life of one of the toughest creachers god ever created. They survived the horse latitudes, fought in the the Indian wars, Revolutionary War, Civil War. 2 million were sent to World War 1, 200 came back. They plowed, moved people and things, did the rodeo, stared in movies, fed our dogs, rode our kids. It took 500 years for some of them to become American Wild Mustangs symbols of freedom and perseverance. They were given rock and brush as gratitude and adapted. Now ONE MAN is wiping them out! One man with power over all our souls, feelings, and our horses. Damn him.

The Horse Latitudes

As the Spanish came to America they brought their horses, needed for transportation, farming, and  fighting. Hardy, smallish horses bred for endurance made the ocean crossings in the bellies of wooden sailing ships. Bad food, water, crowded smelly and hot. As the ships passed into the doldrums often the weaker horses would be thrown overboard to help the stronger ones make the voyage. Truly they must have been super horses to spend months like that. They arrived and worked in America for friend and foe alike some escaped into the abyss away from mankind's toil and food and breeding. They evolved over five hundred years into The American Mustang. An even hardier survivor that eked out existence off volcano rock and desert by its very social behavior.  Their DNA is the product of survival of the fittest and natural selection. They are the very symbol of American freedom and perseverance. Under the guise of good intentions the BLM is rounding them up to spare them some dire fate as hunger, and will save them by removing them from their legal lands and placing them in pens. Pens that kill them in large numbers while they try and adapt to mankind's stupidity. We must not allow this. Once gone they will never reappear. Write, call. act before it's too late.

Tea Party and Freedom

Ah yes, the free market. Lets all applaud the “tea party” movement and let the government stand down and let the free market rule. Indeed the word FREEDOM is only valid in our system of free markets. We are not free by any other measure. Yet the government itself is a free market isn’t it? It’s not at all ruled by the republic but the very free market that overwhelm it. I say let it all be free till it implodes around itself so a new world of regulations with people not freedom festers.

Salazoos

Ever hear of Sea World? Unfortunately a killer whale pulled its trainer under by her pony tail. He likely meant no harm but he being a whale and her a human there was no comparison as far as brute strength is concerned. Seems to me whales being whales are better left in their own element, the oceans.
Ever hear of Salazoo? It's a place the head of the BLM wants to send our Wild Mustangs. Wild Mustangs, that bite and kick and are as strong as ten humans. Mustangs that already live on their land for free will now cost taxpayers many millions to round up and keep in Salazoos. When will we ever learn that nature manages wild animals best. It culls the herds, and makes them strong and the herds in turn protect the environment. Besides Wild Mustangs are our very living symbol of freedom, to remove them from that freedom in the name of saving them is ludacris.
