My Life On The River


 Happy Saturday Crawl Everyone! Save Our Wild Horses
Back to Full Blog  

Thanks to everyone that stopped by my blog and signed the petition to save our wild horses.
I hope, and pray that it does some good. The ranchers have been trying for decades to kill off the wild horses because of their greed.
Wild horses have been poisoned, shot, and driven over cliffs by the hundreds by ranchers that don't want to share the grass, and water with the Mustangs.
If not for a woman named Wild Horse Annie, I really doubt we would have any wild mustangs left. She seen what was happening. How the Mustangs were being killed off, and even worse. Rounded up and sold to slaughter for dog food.
She managed to get the laws changed, and stopped the roundup for slaughter.
One thing I learned is DLM is allowing cattle ranchers to round up the wild horses, and many die because they hate the horses so could care less if they kill some in the roundup.
Some people just make me sick, and I will say the ranchers are so greedy they make me sick, and I do think they will have to answer to God someday for their disregard for the life of these horses.
If you would like to read more about the history of the wild Mustangs you can find many pictures of the dead foals, and adults after the round-ups conducted by the ranchers that hate them, and payed for with your Tax dollars by the Dept. Of Land Management.

So for tonights blog crawl I am sticking to the wild side!

"Born To Be Wild"

Dixie - I so agree with you. And when i was in South Dakota and seeing the buffalo in particular I cannot help but thinking how the white man literally slaughtered them an left them lay where as the Indians only killed what they needed for food. We still have not improved too much and we claim we are so good and so civilized - ??
Have a great weekend - june

I know June its so sad the way some people treat animals. No regard for their pain and suffering what so ever. When I look at those pictures of dead horses. Babies that were to small to run fast enough, and got left behind to starve to death without their Moms, And pictures of others that made the roundup but were tramped to death in the pens. I feel so much anger.
Can you imagine what it was like back when Buffalo roamed America by the millions, and in just a few short years white man almost wiped them out. This was done to starve the Indians into surrendering, and going to live on reservations.
Thanks for your comment June. Hope your having a great Sunday!
Love,Dixie

I hope it does some good to Bella! I just wish they would leave the wild horses alone, and let them live in peace. Love,Dixie

Thanks for the sweet friendship Mouse!
The Turtle eggs are just sitting there in the incubator....not anything going on in there yet, I read one instruction that said 44 days well if thats true I have 2 more weeks but, then I read another that said 4 months I sure hope thats wrong. It will be freezing around here by then and I really dont want to keep them all winter. And then maybe they are not even fertile, and will never hatch!
Love,Dixie
