It is sad to see how our nature, landscapes and cultures are being devastated in the name of supposed progress. Progress is only a vile name for greed, brutality, stupidity and lust for power.
Agree horses are wonderful. Debate were horses brought in or native it seems both is true - clip from horse history on web.. The domestic horse was introduced to North America by Spanish conquistadors in the 15th century. However, did you know that horses used to roam the lands of the Americas long before the settlers arrived? While the modern domestic horse (Equus caballus) is not native to America, ancestors of horses evolved on the continent. Horses migrated from North America to Eurasia around 2-3 million years ago and went extinct in the Americas between 8,000-12,000 years ago. Either way I know some areas are being rewilded in usa - bison, horses cats etc .. in uk we even have farmers who have whole farms rewilded - really the surplus animals are culled but farmers dont pay anything for feed, groundwork or labour. Animals seem happier and it attracts walkers and animal lovers to the village ...
In the 1970's the American Alligator was in danger of disappearing, now there are millions of Gators... Louisiana & Florida each have a million Gators in there states. If they managed to Protect the Gator which are in the Millions why can't they do it with Wild Horses?
When this documentary talks about only about thousands of wild horses roaming free, that may be true for Canada but here in the United States the wild horse counted in the millions by the 1800's. In America there is still around 90,000 wild horses roaming free on public lands and over 70,000 horses being held in holding pens owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The mustang in America is not in threat of extinction but of miss management. How I know this is because I am starting a wild horse sanctuary and have researched how many horses are here in America. The sanctuary will be in Montana were the horses can roam free on a large ranch we are trying to purchase. We will be getting our horses from these holding pens.
Thank you so much for your effort. but it is simply not enough. There are starving people all over the world that could use the protein from these horses. Yes I own a mustang. But we need to put our emotions aside and do whats best not only for the horses but for the environment.
@@fireguy7004 im sorry but its not are duty to feed the world we have enough of are own problems that arent getting dealt with and way to much money getting sent to fund wars to fill the pockets of the military industrial complex's pocket. why do you think both sides have always been for sending money to ukraine? because those big arms manufacturers are paying all of them. its basically a way to take are hard earned tax money and funnel it through a country at the exspense of thousands of deaths and 1000 year old historic buildings being bombed into rubble. what ukraines goverment along side ares has done to the ukrainian people is sickening. for people who say putin just did it for no reason is utterly false. no im not saying hes a good guy but nato has been encrouching on russian borders for decades even after things were signed to stop its exspansion. if you poke the bear for long enough its bound to bite back and thats exsactly what they want. they want wars because it makes them billions of dollars
It seems like if you like horses, especially wild horses, stop eating beef. Then the ranchers will have no reason to use public land to gain private profit for their cattle.
And maybe they’ll even find themselves in the same dilemma as the Texans who returned home from fighting for the Confederacy when they discovered that the cattle outnumbered them 555 to 1?
I saw in the picture a P Horse now being cloned to increase the number of P Horse s I own one that I bought at an auction in Kansas but came out of an auction in Texas. But if you go to
Some of the pied bald and skew bald ones that are of the paint and pinto persuasions should be relocated to Assateague Island where they can possibly join their cousins who each year partake in the event known as Pony Penning Days, hosted by the volunteer fire company on nearby Chincoteague Island. The fire company swims them across the channel between Assateague and Chincoteague. The first one of the foals on shore is usually raffled off at $1.00 per ticket. The rest of the foals and some of the yearlings are then auctioned off, and the money from the auction is used to purchase brand new firefighting equipment. To get a better understanding, read the following book titles by the late author Marguerite Henry: “MISTY OF CHINCOTEAGUE”, “SEA-STAR, ORPHAN OF CHINCOTEAGUE”, “STORMY, MISTY’S FOAL”, and “MISTY’S TWILIGHT”.
Yes they have been genetically tested. Help Alberta Wildies Society has done DNA research on the Alberta Wild Horse and has come back with the strongest association with the Spanish breeds. Also found to have similar DNA as 11 of the South American horse breeds. This South American cluster fell between clusters of old world Iberian breeds from Spain & Portugal. Help Alberta Wildies Society has been fighting the government for the last 5 years to save what's left of the Alberta Wild Horse.
Kiger mustangs in the steens in oregon are also related to the Spanish horse. they need to be controlled. there are way too many on the range. They are in ZERO danger of extinction. This video is very misleading. Native Americans lived for thousands of years without horses. We violated the prime directive by interfering and giving them the horse. The horse culture is not their true culture.
@@fireguy7004 we don't have a prime directive.... also seems pretty racist to say that they're somehow beneath europeans and couldn't handle having horses
@@renee1741 youre a typical liberal. everything is racist to you people. What a stupid thing to say. Native Americans didnt have horses because,,,,,what for it...... because they DIDNT have horses!!!!!!! It's just a fact that the "horse" culture is not a result of natural processes. We gave them the horse. They made good use of it. They were literally living in the stoneage. Could you please show me the quote where I said native Americans couldnt handle having horses??????? You cant because I didnt. You people just make crap up as you go. Just so you know. I have Steens mustang from the south herd. Hes been a good horse. That doesnt mean we dont have too many on the range and too many in holding facilities. Do you know how many are confined and how much it costs to maintain them????????
The entire world need to work on preserving these wild horses,,I'm in Africa I love horse and we don't have em ,and think how painful it is to learn that in North America they are still being killed on law,,,why not ship them to continents where they are scarce and needed like here in Africa ,Zimbabwe they have been loved by our entire society
If you as a human's new what it was like to be free and were captured and held captive would you want to be inslaved and in slavery instead of free.Ask your self that.I think a disservice is being done to wild horses and a horrific shame And cruelty is being done to them. 5 or 6 states round them up and in a center state put them in penes of 20 to 25 thousand and were do they get food and water.Have you seen it most people haven't what happens to them and what really happens to them.It not like they advertise to all state's what their doing. And al of the million hoses that don't get auctioned off to private buyers get sold to slaughter house buyer's and out of usa buyers that take them and load them up on trailers and to the slaughter house and then put in freezer shipping containers to ship over seas.And pay $300.00 hundred a horse for slaughter for.So they say. What you have to ask your self not only the treatment of these living animals . But were does the money go and who to for all that blood shead over 5 or 6 states and then the state in the middle.Were does the money go .That much misfortune and misery i want to know. Horses are so intelligent stupid human's Don't see or don't want to.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉😠🙊🙉😠🙉🙈😠🙈😠🙊😠🙉😠
Everytime that a Mustang herd wanders down from Canada, they should be rounded up, and possibly (those with pied bald and skew bald markings of both the paint and pinto persuasions) relocated to Assateague Island to join their cousins who run wild the majority of the year, only to partake once a year in the summer event known as Pony Penning Days. Thus, not only would they enjoy good protection, but they would also like being there better than in Canada.
You will notice that some of the horses have ear tips that point inward there is a special breed of horse that has this trait I cannot remember the name of it can you
The horses re-introduction into North America‘s ecosystem was just about the only time that went right Please comment if you have any more times, interesting stuff
I'm stranded in America as a political prisoner. My biggest dream has been to make it back home across the border to live in this way. The earth weeps here.
If it weren't for the horses we and humanity would not be where we are at. And the wolves that were domesticated same as horse's. We would have been in a much worse state and even fewer human's would been and survived as hard as it was after global catastrophe. We as human's should honor horse and dog's and respect not kill them because that's a dishonor of of all their lives whom has helped us through millions of years .And even so called indigenous peoples abuse them and don't give them respect and compassion.shame on most human's for the treatment and shame on the so called native which are not native at all they are south Americans and some are Spanish mix and some are south Americans mixed with Chinese that built the railway from east to west And promised Chinese if they work until it was done they would be us people free.So native Indians are not native they are immigrants .But that still doesn't excuse the mistreatment of horse and pet or wild .And wild dogs and wolves in self defense only.those who kill horse's should be ashamed.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
, God said he made everything after its own kind but this man is going to tell you that evolution is the way we all got the way we are too much just dumb
One solution would be to plant the Pampas Grass of Argentina on our prairie lands to begin with, if only the seed catalog companies such as Burgess and Gurney’s wouldn’t label it as ornamental. At least this way, the cattle would stay on the ranch, and avoid the public lands altogether, especially if Pampas Grass were also planted on the ranches themselves.
i wish humans didn't think the only way to disrespect the horse is to kill them. what about the bits, the spurs, the long hours in the saddle, the rodeos with the tight flank straps and witnessing of other animals being abused, or the taking them from their families? if they are our partners, why do we have to inflict pain on them to convince them to do our bidding?

@@yolomedia8239 colombus was a trader who never landed on continental América. And all the mustangs where introduced by spaniards. How curious. Spain ruled 2/3 of actual US. When US became independent and started the "conquest" of the west, that was conquest centuries ago, they almost wiped out every buffalo, every mustang, every native... Facts my friend
@@IVY12023 exactly the point. the bering land bridge connected siberia to alaska. very euro-centric doc states european / american land bridge, of which there never was a one.
The first part of this story said wild horses are going extinct . A video from 5 years ago states that we keep care and watch of over 40,000 wild horses around Nevada and have to remove 1000 or more each year to keep the population from exploding past the capacity of the land bounty. ( so in a few short years they are going extinct?
This is what I was wondering. In the U.S. we gather several every year, supposedly because their population can and sometimes does outpace their forage and water resources. I am trying to learn more and get more involved with our BLM (Bureau of Land Management) to understand how true this is. I don't *think* this is a scheme to make mon÷y, as often times the BLM pays tip trainers and others to take and gentle the horses that are gathered. If anything, they're losing money. I think the issue is, thanks to the development of land, there isn't much protected wild land left to support high numbers. I don't think they're going extinnow, but only because most are on protected lands. Unfortunately, many ranchers here view them as pests and rivals for their own stock and will kill them or capture and sell to slaughter houses if they can.
I don't know too much about their numbers or protection status in Canada, though. My understanding is that ranchers generally don't view them favorably, but I could be wrong.
