Pros And Cons Of Wild Horses

First, PETA wants horse racing to be banned because Thoroughbred’s are racing towards the grave: “horses begin training or are already racing when their skeletal systems are still growing and are unprepared to handle the pressures of competition racing on a high track at high speeds.” This may be true that horses are training for the races when they are still growing, but according to Choros: “The argument that horse racing is not a real sport is similar to the one used by people who say the same thing about stock car racing, golf and to a lesser extent, baseball.” According to PETA, a popular racehorse, Barbaro, shattered his ankle at the beginning of the 2006 Preakness, while his owners had no expense for his medical needs, The New York Times

For decades, the Bureau of Land Management has relied on the strategy of rounding up excess horses with helicopters and storing them in a system of private ranches and feedlots. But now, with almost 50,000 horses in storage, the system is out of space and money. In response, the agency has drastically cut roundups, leaving horses to multiply out on the range.

May 10, 2006. It’s a warm foggy morning in Kentucky. In the early morning hours a racehorse, Mining My Own, went into labor. By nine that morning, she gave birth to a less than extraordinary bay stud. The breeders decided to name him, Mine That Bird. His owners never really thought the horse would amount to much, and as a yearling, decided to sell him for the low price of $9,500. MTB went to a race track in Canada and started his racing career and later returned to the United States. He won just enough races to qualify him for the biggest race in the thoroughbred industry, the Kentucky Derby. Mine That Bird was the 19th out of 20 horses in the race

If one looks around the world, they would see an over population of horses, this has been a reoccurring issue for a couple years now. There are a lot of reasons why people may not want a horse anymore; it may be old, hurt or even crazy. There are many ways of fixing this problem throughout the equine world, one has their breeders, horse dealers, trainers and more that all want to solve this problem.

The devastation of soil, natural habitat and the destruction of mass farmlands all caused by the notorious feral hogs that has become nature’s neighbor that we have all come to despise. Today I would like to discuss how this resilient species has impacted the natural environments, and how their population is soaring in numbers; and last I would like to propose solutions to address the current issues were are facing and how to manage them.

Former Missouri State Senator Frank Barnitz, a Democrat, stated “People need to realize that horses are not pets; horses are livestock.”

The population of horses is increasing by the thousands and nobody is doing anything about it. By gathering up the horses and putting them in holding pins/ranches becomes more and more of a financial problem and emotional problem. Fertilizing the females, relocating them over the country, or even selling some to the public will overtime reduce the population greatly. If we continue ignoring the fact sooner or later there will be no vegetation for livestock to feed on, causing meat prices to skyrocket or

Before there were skyscrapers, before there were convenience stores, and before there were neighborhood developments, our plains and mountains were home to the American Wild Mustang. These magnificent animals are our past, our present, and with proper handling our future. It is imperative that we protect the American Wild Mustang to ensure that many generations to come can appreciate them as we do today. By supporting the gathering, training, auctions, and domestication that the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management conducts we can preserve this heritage. In doing so, we are securing the future of these horses and the happiness that they bring to many

However, amidst all the political controversies, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have introduced a bill that would permanently ban horse slaughter and the exportation of horses for that purpose the ASPCA reported in early January 2016. The bill has received bipartisan support, but it doesn’t seem to currently be the top priority in Congress. Until then, it’s up to places like BCHR and the communities around them to save as many horses as

In this essay the advantages and limitations of captive breeding’s ideas or processes with regard to social economic environmental factors will be discussed and evaluated.

Wild horses were brought to the US by Spanish explorers and because they had no natural predators their population expanded at an exponential amount. Roundups used to be done by men on horseback, but now they are done with helicopters, men on horseback, and trucks. Roundups now happen every few months and they have attracted the attention of news crews and many other people who are against the wild horse

Wild horses are something that most people know about, at least to an extent. To many they are the embodiment of the word “freedom”, they are creatures that have been around for centuries roaming free in the mountains and wilderness, pretty much left unchecked except by their natural predators. Gorgeous, majestic, and full of spirit are words that can all be used to describe wild horses and pictures of them make great desktop backgrounds and calendars that show a peaceful and wonderful view of nature. What, then, is the issue with the wild horses and why are there arguements over what needs to be done with them? As a brief explanation wild horses are becoming a nuisance for everyone around them – the ecosystem and humans alike. When left unchecked, as they had been before, what happens, and why is it such a big deal?

For example, the wolves have been growing a lot over the past years there are 400–450 wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. They shouldn’t have wolves in Yellowstone because it will kill the other animals. We don’t want animals getting hurt or even extinct because it would be bad not being able to have enough animals. A couple hunters have been saying that they’ve never

When many people approach a horse, they instantly feel cautious of their surroundings. These people tense up and become terrified because of the horse’s size, how they look, or just because they have heard of people being injured from horses. Many people are intimidated by how big some horses can be and they do not want to be around them. Horses are only thought to be a dangerous animal, but they have helped humans in many ways. For instance, they have helped with farm work that humans couldn’t have done by themselves, and they were a mode of human transportation for many years. The things horses have done for humans have helped in many ways, but horses have many other purposes that can help people out. Although many people agree

Animal rights is the philosophy or idea that all animals should be able to live a life free from human exploitation pain and suffering. According to Gale ” The idea of animal rights has roots in ancient times. In Greek philosophy, the animists believed that both animals and people had souls. The vitalists believed that humans were animals but at the top of the chain and could use animals for their benefit.” ( Animals Rights, par.2). In the early twentieth century in the United States, there was no law that regards to animal experimentation. In 1937 there was a pharmaceutical company that developed medicine called Elixir Sulfanilamide. When the medicine was released the company was unaware that the substance was harmful because the drug
