Reports for the four HMAs are listed here for reference:
Data were sourced from the Draft EA for resource enforcement actions in the Complex.
Figures from the reports are summarized as follows:
An estimated 4,108 wild horses have been denied a place on their home range by permitted grazing. The True AML, the number of animals the Complex could support if it was managed principally for wild horses, is 4,644.
The current population is well within this range.
The combined AML represents 11.5% of the authorized forage, neglecting wildlife.
The 4,108 horses displaced from the Complex account for 8.2% of the 50,000 animals in off-range holding.
How do you convince the American people that the Complex is overpopulated with 1,664 wild horses, and that the herd must be drastically reduced, when you authorize privately owned livestock equivalent to 4,108 horses in the same area, on top of the 536 allowed by plan?
The same way you sell umbrellas in the desert.

Excellent information and conclusion ! We that follow this abuse of the BLM for years understand this. Unfortunately, my congressman & I suppose others have been convinced these are “feral” horses and it does not matter what happens to them. It is the one issue we absolutely disagree on. Cattle is big business in AZ so of course they are privileged.
Hi. I am a horse person willing to relocate to work with the wild horses. My passion for horses and my abilitie to reach any horse would be a asset to the wild horses of America. They have saved my life as a child. And i want to devote my life to the wild horse of the north west.
I’ve just learned about this abuse this year, can’t believe it’s happening, so sad sad when

Hi there , i,m Hanna * , it,s making me so sad that u let this happen to thise sacred and beautyful Animals thise Wild Horses u let them chase by a Heli, also some are to young for that some are pregnant and some to old and overal it,s a cruel and not moral way to do so and in my opinion it is Animal Cruelty and abuse knowing what is happening later with them , u traumatize them and they got separated from they,re family who they love , in my opinion , u have to leave them alone o,r if u need some Horses do it on good terms and never with Helicopters ..,Hopefully someone stands up for the Horses and say HALT to this , to this CRUELTY , to this ABUSE , there must be LAW against this doing .
Hi!i Have Been following The BLM roundups for many years.how they destroywildhorses in this cruel and abuses way .Every year.I hope that one Day this terrible roundups Will end.Even here in Finland you can find Mustang wild horse’s.
as many as possible. Horses eat grass by biting it off near the roots so the grass can regow…plus they can’t digest grass seed, so each seed is deposited in its own package of fertilizer. In other words, horses replant the grasslands. Cattle eat grass by wrapping their tongues around it and ripping it out by the roots…..eventual desert caused by the cattle eating. In other words. for the cattle to have food, you need as many horses/ bison/ etc around as possible to replant the area. I can’t believe cattlemen and their politicians are so stupid as to not know that. Cheers anyways!

As long as money is at the bottom line there will be no stopping this abuse of the wild horses, it’s always been the controlling factor, I certainly don’t understand why the BLM gets away such blatant misuse of power.
Did you ever think that the will of the american people would be overridden by criminals like BLM, politicians and ranchers
The only way to stop this abuse of the Wild Horses and the flagrant mismanagement of the resources that should be available to our Wild Horses by the Bureau of Land Mismanagement, is to make it very public, enlist the aid of all the Animal Rights Activists , the very public and powerful wealthy people , such as groups in Hollywood and other high profile groups to get involved. To shine the bright light of truth on what is actually happening , with the results of roundups and the torture and mistreatment the horses , young and old experience made public and expose those bureaucrats , agencies and abusers who are profiting from this held accountable.
