These horses are American icons that have survived centuries on the plains! Keep American hoses on the Land of the Free!! They are protected living on protected land yet the BLM has decided to remove and destroy them! It is WRONG on so many levels! STOP roundups. SAVE THE AMERICAN WILD HORSES AND BURROS!!
