Save America's Wild Horses

Wild horses and burros are regularly rounded up to make room for cattle to graze on public lands. Cattle: one of the top Greenhouse Emssion producers. One Green Planet points out that cattle outnumber horses fifty to one and that the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act is supposed to be protecting wild horses, not enabling them to be euthanized. They argue that the roundups are purely profit-led. “
The Humane Society condemns euthanizing the horses and maintains that the government should focus on fertility control and limiting population growth of the wild horses remaining on the range. They call the round-up and removal strategy for wild horse and burro populations on rangelands “financially unsustainable”and say that they have offered more feasible alternatives for the past 20 years.
