HORSE ADVOCATES ARGUED THAT THE WILD HORSES POPULATION WAS THREATENED AND THEY BELONGED ON THE RANGE. Slide 3: THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE NUMBER OF HORSES ON THE RANGE AND THOSE GATHERED BY THE BLM AND THOSE ADOPTED. THE YEARS 1992 AND 1993 SHOW A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN POPULATION OF WILD HORSES. WHY????? Slide 5: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD GIVEN INTO THE RANCHERS AND GATHERED HORSES AFTER ALL!!!!!!!!!!! NOT QUITE!! Slide 6: THE HORSES WERE LEFT ON THE RANGE AND THE FOLLOWING IMAGES SHOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RANGE RESOURCES AND THE HORSES THEMSELVES. Slide 8: Over use at a water source. Not only do horses impact themselves they also have a negative affect on health of native species (plant and animal). Slide 9: Another example of over use by wild horses.

Slide 14: A dead horse along the road. Note the damage to the sage brush in the back ground. When forage becomes limited the horses are forced to eat the only remaining food stuff…sage brush. Slide 15: Sign indicated the mare died first and her colt had pawed the rocks trying to nurse before he died. This is a mare (background) and colt (foreground). Slide 16: DON’T ALLOW THE CELEBRITIES BEND THE TRUTH. ARE YOU WILLING TO ALLOW THE STARVATION OF MARES AND FOALS? ARE YOU WILLING TO ALLOW THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR PUBLIC LAND RANGE RESOURCES?
