The privacy of the iconic seven species of North American wild horses has been under threat in recent years due to the lack of protection that the U.S. government provides these majestic creatures. In spite of the fact that they have been living in their respective habitats for centuries, the Bureau of Land Management has been trying to reduce the population by forcibly removing them from their homes and potentially euthanizing them in cruel ways.
The seven species of wild horses that are currently under threat by the U.S. government are Mustangs, Brumby, Kiger, Pintos, Appaloosas, Curlies, and Clydesdales. These animals have become famous in literature, history, and even in film, playing an important role in the history of America. They are living symbols of the freedom American citizens have and have been enjoying for centuries.
This is why it’s so troubling that the U.S. government has been trying to reduce their population and remove them from their habitats without providing protection or alternative homes. The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) plan to manage the population of wild horses involves capturing them and releasing them into designated zones before ultimately putting them into a temporary holding pen. From there, some of the horses are adopted by willing owners, while others are put down in what are essentially mass euthanasia operations.
The act of removing horses from their natural habitats and killing them is an unacceptable and cruel act of animal cruelty, and it has been met with strong disapproval from animal activists throughout the country. Many are calling for better solutions that would actually provide protection for these creatures, rather than eliminate them completely. This could include providing sanctuaries for the horses or controlling their population through safe and humane fertility controls, versus the current method of capture and kill.
The protection of wild horses is a cause that is dear to many Americans, and it’s something that should be taken seriously by the government. They are part of the foundation of our culture and history, and they deserve the same respect and protection that any other species would get. The government must take action to stop the cruel removal and killing of these majestic creatures – it’s time for the U.S. government to recognize the importance of these beloved animals and protect them before it’s too late.
