Help Save Wild Mustangs

I hate toting my own personal beliefs onto other people unless I think they deserve it (deoderant was created to help end my suffering from other people's pits). This one I believe in because a) I love horses and b) I love horses. My biggest dream is to be able to have enough money to retire before I'm 40 and open up a ranch (shopping has to be within an hour though). So - the Bureau of Land Management www.blm.gov is considering euthanizing the wild Mustang population. Wild Mustangs once ran free across our country, became symbolic of one of the greatest muscle cars of our times (Ford Mustang for you people who are still trying to figure that one out) and I think gave hope to people.

I know saying "Hope" sounds odd but I think it fits. There's a hope that we don't ruin all of the land and make cities. There's a hope that life used to simpler and beautiful. I am far from idealistic but wild Mustangs are the main reason I want to go west and see Wyoming and Montana. I want to ride on a horse and come over a crest over looking a valley and see a herd of wild Mustangs running free. Anyway...

I know writing a letter or signing a petition is often looked upon as annoying and a hassle. So my direct course of action is to donate to the Mustang Heritage Foundation www.mustangheritagefoundation.org . I live in NYC where I can't have a horse - I totally would if I could though. So I'm going to donate in hopes that my one little action can help a herd of wild Mustangs continue to roam free. One day I'd like to see them in that valley instead of in a book where they show pictures of wild Mustangs now extinct.

good on you , they should be saved .

there are
nearly 500,000 Black Bears and only 30,000 wild mustangs seems rather wrong

It also should be noted that Polar Bears are now an endangered species with just a few less than Wild Mustangs ???
