environmental-reality

All to often the BLM removes our "Wild Mustangs" from our lands in order to protect them and sustain the land for future use. You gota be kidding. BLM’s main beef is its of its own making, supporting all the horses it takes off our land and stores in holding pens. How is it better for us to store and feed horses in holding pens then leave them to manage their own affairs? If the BLM was worried the horses would starve if left to fend for themselves that’s nature, besides if they need a helping hand from time to time it would be far less expensive to drop hay occasionally then store 30,000 horses. As far as the environment horses are one of the most environmentally compatible creatures. They plant grass as they travel. There was a degraded area in England that needed to be revived. Some smart people argued horses would naturally repair years of destruction so a band of horses was re-introduced. Before long grass not weeds grew, then came insects and birds to eat them, worms, small critters. It wasn’t long before the whole area was transformed to a natural self sustaining environment. The "Great Plains" of the United States once called the "bread basket of the world" was transgressed by massive herds of buffalo and horses. What came first, the grass or the grazers? Millions of "wild mustangs" once roamed free in America, how did they all survive? Did some starve, get eaten, or get injured? The social structure of horses and gene pool of natural selection must be preserved in numbers large enough to remain viable, and with a future without oil I’d be unwilling to pull a plow.
