7/28/2010 7:27:40 PM

The "un-adoptable" horses should be released into an area approiate for there living needs.

7/28/2010 7:16:17 PM

Life is tough, but culling some of the wild horses may sometimes be necessary (unadoptable ones).

7/28/2010 7:08:36 PM

the stallions should be kept on seperate lands for a length of time

7/28/2010 7:06:09 PM

Leave them alone

7/28/2010 6:40:10 PM

slaughter for food, locally

7/28/2010 2:59:53 PM

More & better organized adoptions-I adopted a BLM mare and she's beautiful and SMART!

7/28/2010 2:48:07 PM

Combinationof solutions excluding slaughter and dangerous roundups

7/28/2010 2:29:48 PM

The greed of ranchers wanting wild horse habitat & poor management create this problem.

7/28/2010 2:26:35 PM

Promote ecotourism featuring wild horses; ask groups to sponsor herds - 4H clubs, riding clubs, etc.

7/28/2010 1:56:49 PM

This is a big problem and I have no idea how to solve it.

7/28/2010 1:44:44 PM

They shouldn't have to compete with cattle. The Range belongs to them!

7/28/2010 1:42:50 PM

NOT feral; horses originated in N. America, reintroduced by the Spanish in 1500s

7/28/2010 1:41:22 PM

Leave them alone and get the BLM out of there.

7/28/2010 12:54:17 PM

The BLM is an abomination! Helicopter roundups are an abomination. Leave the horses alone!

7/28/2010 12:20:27 PM

These horses are a significant part of the history of our country, especially the West.

7/28/2010 11:55:22 AM

leave them alone !!!

7/28/2010 11:44:57 AM

7/28/2010 11:42:59 AM

Cull as the Australians do.

7/28/2010 11:29:27 AM

Restrict use of federal lands to farmers. They are part of the problem regarding horses and wolves.

7/28/2010 11:16:49 AM

selective culling take the poor quality first

7/28/2010 11:16:26 AM

Contraceptives and free roaming. Let nature do the rest..

7/28/2010 11:12:46 AM

Round them up to keep sustainable numbers and the unadoptable send to slaughter.

7/28/2010 11:06:42 AM

Unadoptable put down not fair to the horse to live contained-expense is high too.

7/28/2010 11:05:18 AM

Wiser mgmt of Fed land; stop spec interest grps (cattle) from monopolizing fed land for profit

7/28/2010 11:03:28 AM

7/28/2010 10:27:06 AM

7/28/2010 8:54:37 AM

What is with the BLM> Running horses to death and fencing them off from H20 is barbaric

7/28/2010 8:37:38 AM

Do nothing to the horses. Take away many of the grazing rights for the millions of cattle

7/28/2010 8:37:07 AM

reducing numbers is only long term solution; public sentiment requires we hold excess horses

7/28/2010 8:34:50 AM

Slaughter and give the meat free of charge to the needy.

7/28/2010 8:32:47 AM

PZP - it works, humanely and with no behavioral effects

7/28/2010 8:10:31 AM

These horses are not wildlife, and in most cases not related to the original mustang. Alpo, or Food

7/28/2010 7:36:09 AM

lEAVE THEM ALONE!

7/28/2010 7:35:39 AM

Humans want to live forever, and the Horses must be allowed their live spans, we do NOT OWN THIS EAR

Let them remain wild.

7/28/2010 6:44:18 AM

no roundups,use contraceptives,charge per head of cattle grazed to pay for it,limit cattle nos.

7/28/2010 4:59:41 AM

Wild horses have managed to survive without human intervention. It is only since the BLM has decided

7/28/2010 4:17:26 AM

How about removing some of the 5.5 million cattle and sheep on subsidized grazing!

7/28/2010 3:40:05 AM

7/28/2010 2:31:31 AM

Leae them alone, why is this a problem?

7/28/2010 1:43:37 AM

7/28/2010 1:27:44 AM

How about gelding the stallions ??

7/28/2010 1:08:11 AM

They should be left to roam the land they were given in 1971!!!

7/28/2010 1:00:46 AM

Horses should be humanely slaughtered and processed for consumption by humans or other animals

7/28/2010 12:53:57 AM

Herd numbers should be reduced and only the high quality stallions allowed to breed.

7/28/2010 12:47:14 AM

Easy:end taxpayer subsidized corporate cattle grazing on public land designated 4 wild horses

7/28/2010 12:16:56 AM

geld the stallions, leaving one stallion for every 100 mares. remove the older and crippled horses.

7/28/2010 12:16:52 AM

Good options but need to restrict range leases in favor of wild horses

7/28/2010 12:16:09 AM

My BLM mustang is a fabulous horse, my trainers wish they had a barnful. He was started at 7.

7/27/2010 11:53:14 PM

7/27/2010 11:52:12 PM

Turn the unadoptable ones back out on the range

7/27/2010 10:36:40 PM

Reduce the number of cattle on public lands to allow for the horses

7/27/2010 10:28:22 PM

they should be treated as wild animals, not livestock and let Mother Nature take it's course.

7/27/2010 10:24:49 PM

its the biggest political jam-up ever. Mrs. Pickens offered to take and build a educational refuge..

7/27/2010 10:21:05 PM

If the horse can't be adopted out within 3 years it should be euthanised

7/27/2010 10:17:02 PM

Humane reduction of numbers is possible with contraception. Get Dr.Kirkpatrick involved!

7/27/2010 8:23:11 PM

The BLM has not done a good job of accurately counting horses and some of their lands have been sold

They are part of our heritage. They deserve to live.

7/27/2010 8:07:39 PM

all of the above and then some. Depends on the individual animal and their circumstances

7/27/2010 8:07:38 PM

geld males. no holding pens, humane euthanasia for sick/injured, absolutely none to slaughter

7/27/2010 8:07:02 PM

With no natural predators we need to actively cull the herd. They can't be allowed to reproduce

7/27/2010 8:03:42 PM

leave the prior mountain herd alone,:put the unadoptable ones on a seperate free range ranch

7/27/2010 7:47:55 PM

Too few choices. Can't solve with either/or answers. Good ol' boys w/cattle rule the lands and gov.

7/27/2010 7:45:43 PM

Compared to the 13 million grazing permits issued, 57K horses don't seem like they're a problem.

7/27/2010 7:43:44 PM

Limit hunting of their natural predators. Allow the balance of nature to be re-established.

7/27/2010 7:24:06 PM

7/27/2010 6:51:39 PM

Americans need to learn to live in hi-rise flats, which is far less demanding on land space.

7/27/2010 6:48:08 PM

They could be learned from still, we don't know lots. They could help other breeds in future

7/27/2010 6:44:26 PM

here is plenty of land. The BLM just wants to run more cattle on it and give land to pipeline, and

7/27/2010 6:38:32 PM

mare contraceptives are too expensive. should geld as many colts as possible!

7/27/2010 6:34:47 PM

LEAVE THEM ALONE -- WE WILL NEED THEY GENETIC POOL TO CLEAN UP THE MESS WE ARE MAKING IN BREEDING

7/27/2010 6:24:37 PM

care should be given to adopting out suitable horses - perhaps with some pre-training to avoid fraud

7/27/2010 6:18:33 PM

Leave them alone! We leave other wild animals alone why not them?

7/27/2010 6:18:21 PM

Go castrate and release stallions

These horses are part of our American history. They deserve a home and respect.

7/27/2010 6:15:08 PM

"unadoptable" horses should be sterilized & returned to the wild unless health precludes it

7/27/2010 6:13:35 PM

Should process and feed hungry

7/27/2010 6:07:28 PM

herd thinning by humane destruction

It's a big problem.Wish I knew the answer for these majestic creatures.

7/27/2010 5:33:46 PM

Why do we have to kill everything WILD??????????????

7/27/2010 5:28:14 PM

create more incentives for adopters/trainers that then increase adoption

7/27/2010 5:22:47 PM

Slaughter, afteral, they are livestock!!

7/27/2010 5:20:18 PM

Humane slaughter is better then starving or being eaten by preditors.

7/27/2010 5:18:43 PM

cut back ranch animals, stop "air roundups", better management

7/27/2010 5:18:38 PM

There isn't a huge wild horse population now! The BLM is on the side of big cattle, & wastes $$

7/27/2010 5:13:51 PM

Adopt out what you can, manage the range at sustainable numbers. Give surplus to PETA.

7/27/2010 5:11:53 PM

People should let them be free, as they were meant to be.They were here 1st

7/27/2010 5:10:46 PM

Wild Horses are a large part of American History & it is our duty to let them be wild & culled when

7/27/2010 4:55:05 PM

why round up the mustangs then put cows on the same range afterwards?

7/27/2010 4:53:16 PM

This country is supporting the "zoo"management practice with horses. Look what we do with domestics!

7/27/2010 4:52:40 PM

combination. better management, definitely leaving them on federal land

7/27/2010 4:49:47 PM

If you can corral all of the mares to use contraceptives, why can't you corral the stallions to geld

7/27/2010 4:34:27 PM

7/27/2010 4:33:09 PM

Euthanization.

7/27/2010 4:28:07 PM

Manage them on the land, not in holding pens. Reduce free range cattle, that eat all their grasses.

7/27/2010 4:23:56 PM

leave them alone!!!!

7/27/2010 4:23:01 PM

BLM cattle grazing fee is $1.35/head /mo for millions of cattle. Raise it.

7/27/2010 3:59:51 PM

Allow Pickens to house them on a reserve

7/27/2010 3:58:35 PM

Limit the number of viable stallions as well as use contraceptives on mares--more taming

7/27/2010 3:58:31 PM

Beside using contraceptives for the mares, geld some of the stallions.

7/27/2010 3:58:29 PM

Consider humane euthanasia for unadopatable horses

7/27/2010 3:57:14 PM

Get the BLM OUT of the wild (not feral) horse issue, get cattle off the public/horse's land.

7/27/2010 3:55:21 PM

Castrate the stallions, slaughter the excess. No more tax dollars spend to feed these horses

7/27/2010 3:54:07 PM

Horses need managed and herds reduce acordingly like the BLM is doing.Sensationalism is hurting thi

7/27/2010 3:44:38 PM

these majestic creatures deserve nothing less than to be respected and admired.

7/27/2010 3:44:17 PM

Replace some stallions with good quality stallions, cull herds humanely, some must go to slaughter.

7/27/2010 3:44:10 PM

leave them be

7/27/2010 3:44:03 PM

too many cows and sheep on federal lands, open more up for wild horses.

7/27/2010 3:43:06 PM

gelding the stallions as early as possible would help

7/27/2010 3:42:12 PM

geld the males

7/27/2010 3:41:57 PM

selective gelding & spaying, euthenasia is necessary for unadoptable horses

7/27/2010 3:37:43 PM

the mustang is a treasure and should be treated as such!

7/27/2010 3:37:24 PM

All of the above have their place in the care of this national treasure, should not be in BLM care

7/27/2010 3:37:07 PM

Train the trainable for useful federal jobs, such as border and police patrols.

7/27/2010 3:34:42 PM

Let them live on the lands dedicated to them. NO MORE ROUNDUPS. Turn out the horses now in captivity

7/27/2010 3:34:24 PM

Leave them the hell alone. Throw the cattle off!

7/27/2010 3:34:17 PM

All the above. Unadoptable by BLM standards are not truly unadoptable.

7/27/2010 3:33:36 PM

The BLM should be stopped fromn having anything to do with the horses!

7/27/2010 3:31:42 PM

There should be a moratorium on the current round ups until this can all be sorted out.

7/27/2010 3:31:40 PM

Euthanize unadoptable wild horses - don't spend federal money keeping them in holding corrals.

7/27/2010 3:31:33 PM

7/27/2010 3:23:48 PM

Leave them be

7/27/2010 3:23:30 PM

Ok Why do we need to move them in the first place. I only hear the how and not the why.

7/27/2010 3:23:19 PM

Stop allowing ranchers to use public land for their herds which limits the feral herd space.

7/27/2010 3:22:27 PM

let the people who live around areas where wild horses roam, manage them.

7/27/2010 3:22:17 PM

I really don't know

7/27/2010 3:20:52 PM

As with all herd management the BLM should geld colts

7/27/2010 3:20:17 PM

Geld all stallions, spay all mares. Or humanely put all extra horses down.

7/27/2010 3:18:59 PM

Periodically check and treat or cull

7/27/2010 3:17:00 PM

I do believe in holding unadoptables their whole lives...cruel.

7/27/2010 3:16:42 PM

Having worked for BLM, I know they needlessly cause the death of many mustangs.Too many cows!

7/27/2010 3:16:06 PM

Leave them alone!

7/27/2010 3:13:46 PM

Stop taking away thier natural land

geld most of the stallions too.

7/27/2010 3:04:41 PM

geld some of the stallions

7/27/2010 2:57:56 PM

I am not aware of how much land is available but it would be preferable to leave these animals alone

7/27/2010 2:57:00 PM

Leave them alone. They will be extinct if the BLM continues their agenda.

7/27/2010 2:56:34 PM

humane processing of horse meat for protein starved nations should be explored

7/27/2010 2:54:54 PM

leave the wild horses alone. Nature will sort out the strong from the weak!

7/27/2010 2:54:36 PM

we have started a rescue and would take in several wild mustangs

7/27/2010 2:53:30 PM

use as protein source for human consumption

7/27/2010 2:49:35 PM

The BLM should kick off the COWS and allow the horses to roam as the horse and burro act dictates

7/27/2010 2:43:52 PM

different federal agency should control the herds/BLM has a conflict of interest w/cattlemen

7/27/2010 2:41:46 PM

The numbers really must be reduced. Geld all the males as possible. Euthanize older/inferior animal

7/27/2010 12:35:07 PM

Reduce the cattle grazing lands and give them back to the feral horses

7/27/2010 12:27:56 PM

Leave them alone we arent rounding up all the deer or buffalo on the plains they were here first.

7/27/2010 12:21:26 PM

blm has land, just wants to lease, make leases plan for a certain number of wild horses

7/27/2010 12:21:23 PM

Leave them where they are at and prohibit cattle ranchers from restricting horses

7/27/2010 10:07:05 AM

Stop the roundups - manage numbers on the range through contraception/gelding.
