Tips for Writing Letters About Wild Horses

Letters to the editors of newspapers and online news services should focus on two issues, resource management and predation by the advocates.

This example from the Craig Press addresses the former but not the latter.

Mismanagement of resources, indicated by the prevalence of livestock, is largely responsible for the removal and stockpiling of wild horses, but attempts to eradicate the herds with a restricted-use pesticide, favored by most advocates, are far more insidious.

Therefore, one of the best ways to protect wild horses is to put the advocacy groups out of business.

  1. 1972 saw my first wild horse going towards Virginia City seen alot of horses never wild best day ever it was my 12th birthday lived in Fernley until 1979 graduated joined the Navy served 15 years everytime I came to visit wild horses you saw them quite a bit. Then Fernley was growing and along interstate 80 all the way to Sparks construction it wasn’t just ranchers it was greed to destroy the scenery now you only spot them in be the buildings booming businesses still at the expense of that day in 1972 when alot of things were free to roam

    Our government, Bureau of Land Management and the Dept of the Interior are to blame for the inhumane treatment and slaughter of America’s wild horses and burros. There is NO reason these animals should be removed from their legal homes, except that greedy ranchers want the land for their cattle to graze, and BLM collects millions of dollars from the ranchers so that they can use the land, and this ends up either starving, injuring or capturing the wild horses and burros, tearing them from their homes, tearing them from their families, putting them up for auction to who knows who, and many are sent to slaughter when they are healthy, pregnant and young.

    The solution: 1. Get rid of the greedy ranchers, let them purchase their own grazing land or go out of business. 2. Set up hay and grain drops several times a year for the wild horses and burros when their natural forage is not enough during dry, drought or overly hot years. 3. build water pipes and large metal “barrels” to the lands the wild horses and burros call home so that they always have water, especially during drought years.

    This process will cost money to install, but save both the wild horses and burros, and tax payer funds in the long run.

    And it saves America thousands of precious lives.
