    I'd like to point out that the 30,000 horses currently held by the BLM are not old, sick, and lame. Finger pointers out there calling others "PETA types" flat out don't know what they are talking about. As someone who just came from spending time amongst a large herd of wild horses, I can tell you that when the food supply gets short, the ranchers move the cattle, while the horses are "confined" to their area. Fair? No way!

    I don't want to see the horses go hungry in the wild, and I don't want them to be killed for lunchen meat. We are in the process of adopting two horses which is all we can afford to keep, but if these wild horses are lost, I feel we will be lost as a national that much more.
