FOX 13 News 360: Controversy behind wild horse roundups
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Wild horses live all over the western United States, including parts of Utah so remote that many people have never even seen one.
But there are thousands - and by some assessments, too many.
So, how many wild horses can the land sustain? And how - or when - should humans intervene? We looked at the different viewpoints in this in-depth “360” report.
On July 13, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) kicked off what they call a "wild horse gather" in Tooele County.
They invited us to observe, along with advocates for wild horses who are often at odds with the BLM.

Leave them be. You arent the decider of "there is too many horses"
The land can only sustain a certain number of horses. If populations get to high than diseases will spread throughout the herd.
Justify the nonsense however you like. Tired of always being told of some far off consequence or problem to justify shitty human activity in my backyard
@@nicholaslash8760thank you I love these animals so much
LEAVE THEM ALONE. "Not many people have even seen them." They seem to be doing well.
No, they darn sure aren't doing fine
The great USA, land of the free, where even wild horses arent free anymore.... ya comrades it's like that
Feral not wild
They should not bother the horses
Are you aware that a wild horse population doubles every five years? it takes nearly 100 acres to provide food for one horse in the west.
Please leave them alone . If I had the ways and means I would take some. I love them. Build aqueducts to capture the melting snow. Build retention ponds
Avoid flooding and people losing their homes. Relocate
❤🙏❤
You really don't know anything about Nevada 🤣
The drought is from all the burgers 💰
Unfortunately as much as this is something you feel like you need to monitor. Wild animals have been around for millions and thousands of years in these exact conditions with drought and over population. The fact with these conditions they are still around says something. Just with wildfires were preventing these things from performing its natural behavior witch can disrupt the eco system and climate witch has nothing to do with climate change in this sense.
And this is a conflict that I have because I am a huge Horse person but you have to understand yes wild animals and horses have been around since the Don of their evolution but horses were never native to America or southern America the first horses were brought over by Spanish conquistadors in the south the horses that escaped from ranches in from boats and eventually when there was no need for the warhorses a lot of them were just let go some of the herd stayed down south but a lot of them migrated north towards the plains there’s a lot of horses out there andSadly the industrialization of America is forcing their land to be smaller and smaller which creates more and more of an issue
Horses evolved on the North American continents. Carbon dating proves that horses were here way before Europeans invaded.
@@tiyman.2811 Their ancestors were here in North America during the ice age, way before the Spanish reintroduced them back into America. You can find their skeleton's in America and research on proof in the history books and museums.
The droughts are from all the burgers, simple.
You peeps that think this is an acceptable way to treat animals are f'd up..
Facts
Facts no one gives theses animals enough appreciation at all
FACTS! And if you’re ok with THIS then you should be ok with the government thinning out the human population THE SAME WAY
Nature knows how to keep the balance pray that one day you will need them for transportation, because an EMP fried all the electronics systems including your car.
Nature's way is starving, thirst, and disease.
I have had my BLM Mustang for 9 years. He’s incredible and has an awesome temperament. This is a complicated issue.
They are all gorgeous colors
Did you know they are rounding 500 horses and burros for slaughter hope your happy supporting that.
@@MiguelGarcia-kc7vq Did you know that Biden signed a document allowing them to send the horses to slaughter. Hope you're happy with that :)
@@MiguelGarcia-kc7vq They too many horses tho. It will make horses more valuable too
@@MarcusAurelius7777and they don’t do anything to anyone what’s the problem that’s literally saying theirs to many people witch people I think are a bigger problem than horses and their are bigger problems in this world they aren’t like boars idiot
Sad the way they round them up a few had broken legs and had to be put down
Honestly they should use the birth control to prevent further breeding, the safe ones. It's proven to be safe and NOT effective to change their behavior nor breeding. Running the horses too far in roundups can cause death and damage, it happened to infamous Cloud's son Flint.
@@kiskastudios6046 How do you put birth control in a wild horse without catching it?
The BLM NEEDS TO LEAVE the wild horses alone. These horses are families and are broken up, causing mental issues. They are now showing up in the slotter pipeline (Mexico). Watch the horse shelter heroes. Tennessee shelters are seeing them in their shelters. Leave mother nature take care of them, they'll be happier with there family's. Debbie
Mother nature was created to be managed by man, the animal of highest intelligence and only one to reflect the divine in a much greater way than anything in the animal kingdom. You safespace rainbow generation will never get it. Too many wild horses are like too many rats or raccoons. They need to be delt with. Horses multiply pretty fast in favorable conditions. Powerful kings and the ultra rich never make important decisions based on emotions alone. Its always the bad choice.
The argument FOR necessity of management is a distractive argument.
A large corral with hay and water is one much cheaper way; they get used to using it. Then can be caught in smaller corrals. With caring observers the essential bonding groups can be kept so the social support so necessary to horse well being are not totally disrupted.
BLM needs to be removed from granting ranchers' leases on public lands. Give it to state dept of Wildlife, then let's see what animal gets classified as environmentally destructive, like domestic cattle.

Please if you gotta round up do it more humanely
Oh wow, these wild horses need to be left alone! And stop acting like they multiply like mice!! They multiply less than we humans do!!
If there are too many horses out there then why are the ranches wanting to put cattle in place of horses. You don't know the difference between cattle and horse grazing patterns? Not much of a an informed person, are you?
Those animals are federally protected I have native American front that will resist and fight to defend the wild mustangs
WE ALL NEED TO CONTACT OUR STATE REPS TO UPHOLD THEIR PROTECTION BC BLM IS NOT PROTECTING THEM
humane is first
The shouldn’t kill wild horses
Voluntary reductions in livestock grazing (4:55) don't change land-use plans. When conditions improve, grazing will resume at normal levels. The area can support more wild horses, but those resources have been assigned to the ranchers.
Nope, ranchers very rarely touch allotments with horses in them
True, the ranchers greed is despicable on cases like these. Back on the time they would shoot the bison from a moving train now it could be the horses.
If I could take in the mares and fouls I would, but if they kill the babies that's BS.
Visit a BLM corral. There are entire pans full of foals. Gathers are done in late summer so most foals, who are normally born in the spring, handle gathers well. A few of the rare late summer foals MAY have trouble, but those foals are at greater risk of death from the droughts and from the upcoming harsh winters as well. The time for gathers is chosen in part to be the best time for the foals.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE WRITING TO THEIR STATE REP ABOUT THE BLM BC THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY COLT DEATHS
if the newborn folds don't survive the round-up how does the population keep growing??
Not all of them get caught
Horse round up most likely will increase in 2022 due to the fact horse meat prices have increased.
Blm horses don't go to slaughter
@@wildnevadakid9216 they go to auction to China and Mexico and then get slaughtered
Alpo loves it
Lisa Reid is heartless!
I'm sorry but wild horses are an invasive species and should be treated as such here in Kentucky there are several areas where people just take horses and dump them they reproduced to the point where they're a nuisance.
I don't care how beautiful you think these horses are they're not supposed to be here in the wild.
Totally agree with you.
You are the type of human that shouldn't exist.
You don't have a thinking brain do you? It's the irresponsible human dumping their horse and the horse pays the price? You sound like an idiot.
I am sick of how the wild horses are being treated. How low can someone get to mistreat animals for money. There is no danger involved rounding up horse if done humanely. This is real animal , neglect all behind greed. It is down right disgusting and sick to see and hear about the poor and ignorant performance of BLM worker who work with these animals.
I hope they fight it they should be free
Yeah nothing better than starving to death
Anyone else here a Dan Flores fan?
I will check him out
Go manage the people wild animals are fine on their own
Shame on Utah and the usa
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
They we in usa originally and brought back by spain
To everyone who says "leave the horses be" Or "Let them be free" you need to go out there and see them starving to death. Yearlings, pregnant mares, old horses, all starving because they don't have enough food. They don't have enough food because there's too many horses out there. If you didn't know these animals are not actually wild, but they are feral. They were not originally here, and OUR own people put them out long ago, they survived, bred with the Spanish horses and BAM Mustangs.. So please do your research before you start saying "let them stay free or w/e". I love horses very much and personally train Mustangs as well as domesticated horses. You sitting there behind your keyboard trying to shame others who are ACTUALLY trying to help the horses is not helping.
It's not complicated, it's how you do it.
Why does Black Lives Matter care about some wild horses?
It’s blm land
Ride horses to round up
There are a lot of hungry people in the country.
Feed them horse.
Pizza Hut used to put it on pizza in the 70’s and early 80’s
No thanks, didnt they used to put it in dog food and glue. Wasnt that the old saying when a horse would hurt at the race track.
Jeez 🤢 I certainly hope you’re wrong. Mexico and France are big on eating horse meat but I can’t even imagine…Pizza Hut! it would drive me to becoming a vegan.
They put it in dog food cause it's illegal to sell as human consumption in the US horse is the 2nd best meat you could eat
B l m goverment management
Wild Horses have far exceeded their numbers, we can legally hunt deers, bears, alligators and others but horses are off limit. Americas special interest is driving this country into the ground.
They out complete Indigenous animals
