Pros And Cons Of Wild Horses

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

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

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

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

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

Have you ever wanted to own an exotic animal for a pet? Many people are against owning exotic animals as pets, but many are well taken care of and a very low number of people are killed. They are also born in captivity. People should be allowed to own exotic animals as pets.

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

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.

"Why breed or buy while shelter animals die?" Animal breeding is becoming a growing issue in the world, more and more people are breeding and buying not only dogs, but other animals too. Animal rescue centers around the globe are being filled to their maximum capacity with homeless, needing, and deserving animals. Overpopulation is a big issue with animal breeding, some breeders are for exotic or endangered animals such as Ocelots, Rhinos, and Pandas, but other people are breeding domestic animals such as Dogs or Cats. There are already too many domestic animals in our world and these breeders are making it even worse. Overpopulated animal breeding should be illegal because it is wrong, there is a myth that purebred animals are superior, and the fact that shelters or animal rescue centers have an extensive choice of animals to pick from.

There are 9.2 million tame horses and an additional 47,329 wild horses in the United States, while only 2 million people own horses (Moss; “Horses in the United States”). With that being said, it’s safe to say that the United States has a surplus of horses. One of the most controversial solutions for the unwanted horses is slaughter. Horse slaughter has been around for decades, but due to changes in societal views, the topic has ignited controversy.

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

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.

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

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
