No they're not......they're sent to other countries for slaughter. Then we act like we treat animals humanely! I keep up on horse rescue sites, including wild horses, disgusting what people say and the grief they cause to those who rescue these horses.
You rescue wild animals... those that are free range...

The story these people give "there are no longer wild horses left." they actually think these wild horses have been bred by domestic horses and the "wild horse" is gone. This is untrue, their is a wonderful lady out of Oregon who speaks for them and tracks them........don't let Harry Reid and people like him lie to you!!!!
I wonder if this money is the amount it cost to catch the horses and haul them off to slaughter. I don't see why it cost this much money, to mange horses that are out in the middle of NO where.
I knew the word was slaughtered. I also knew that would offend some sensibilities. Instead I unintentionally offended yours.
I think some of the money is used to pay farmers/ranchers for damages done by the animals when they go off BLM lands to private.
you!!!!

Keep in mind that they do round-ups, pen them, and then have to feed them.
All of this costs money.
At the same time there are wild horse advocates who are trying to save the horse from the BLM and the government. The BLM fights them at every turn! Why? Because they make too much damn money with their scam!

...and you would be completely wrong. The BLM shut down Madeleine Pickens who has spent over $25 million on the property, which is home to at least 700 mustangs. They actually shut off water to a section of land that had her drinking pond causing 50 or so horses to die of thirst. http://www.paulickreport.com/horse-c...ang-sanctuary/
Aren't those loving government agents great! Trust me, they were BLM thugs who did this.
Well worth a read to understand the scam that is the wild horse slaughter program:
The Ultimate Betrayal
The slaughter of horses for human consumption is a grisly reality that few are aware of. Yet over 100,000 American horses are slaughtered each year to be served as a delicacy in Belgium, France or Japan. Betraying an animal that has served humankind in so many ways flies in the face of our most cherished values.

Horses are an invasive species. They are a non-native animal with few natural predators. Feral horses have, in many cases, overpopulated the land, destroyed grasslands and native vegetation and crowded out native wildlife. Like most invasive species, something needs to be done to control their numbers and manage their impact on the environment.
Face it, many horse owners buy them on a whim and can't even commit to taking care of their domestic horses for their ~25 year lifespan. Many are shot and buried every year when owners realize what the cost to take care of, and can't find anyone to take them. Something needs to be done to manage the population of these feral ones as well. The exploding population isn't touched by the handful of people that adopt or rescue them.

So the Republican Congress brought back the Holman Rule, which gives them the power to reduce federal employee salaries at will in order to essentially defund anything. Interestingly the initial goal was to defund care for wild horses on public lands.
Rep. H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told the Washington Post that he brought the Holman Rule back out of disapproval for an $80 million federal program devoted to caring for wild horses on federal land in the western United States. He said he wants to see the rule applied strategically to slash funding for that type of program, which he deems wasteful, but also acknowledged that lawmakers now have the “power” to cut large swaths of the federal workforce if they so choose.
Fed Employees Wary Of New Rule Allowing Congress To Cut Their Salaries At Will
I am an idiot with a single-digit IQ, and it is perfectly clear to me that gutting social programs and federal funding will have zero negative impact on my life.
It will be so good I won't even need to butter my toast in the morning. That's how much more freedom-y it will taste.
I think that there are a good many social programs that need to be revisited. Do they do what they are supposed to do? Is there a better way?
Head Start is 1 such program that fails to deliver.
In the case of wild horses. Maybe we should be asking actual Ranchers for a good approach?
We are 20 trillion in debt. We need to be cutting out any and all waste.

How does this particular program enhance our lives? How will defunding it impact our lives?

Well actually, I'm a genius with a 160+ IQ and so based upon the content of your post I can't really believe you. Your IQ is probably more around 85ish if it makes you feel better.
Why don't we just EAT all the excess Horsies..................HORSE STEW, YUM!
I don't believe horses are an endangered species.
