THE SORROW OF AMERICA

I just read an article about the 1,0000th wolf that was killed since congress has dropped the endangered species status on the wolf.  During this same period of time thousands of wild horses/ mustangs are being rounded up from their home grounds to dirty holding pens at tax payers expense to make room for cattle via the BLM , ALL at the expense of the wild horses and their eventual slaughter.
 Two things to remember:   (1) The natural lands of the wild horse are not very suitable for cattle.  Their land is browsing land consisting of shrub brush and sparse rough grasses. We must let them live without interference of man, let nature take care of itself.
(2) The wolf balances wildlife in nature and is good for the land and the games health by natural culling the sick and the weak.  Hunting alone culls the healthy stock not the sick, thus weakening the herd.  Less than 1% of livestock kills are done by wolves.

I cannot understand the thinking of some American folks that put this great country after their own wants.  When will we begin to realize that this generation will cause the death of our American Heritage, If we don't stop this selfish consumption of the worlds resources in the name of greed.  Don't they care what will be left to the future generation that will have an inheritance of a wasted world, or will their ignorance and selfishness prevail.

I ran across an article I believe in National Geographic about wild mustangs that were rounded up, segregated into holding pens.  The two horses were in a strike 3 pen meaning that were to be euthanized.  They touched heads as if they knew each other and were saying goodbye. 


The greed of a few effects the lives of all mankind.
