This story makes it all sound so pretty.removing wild horses is illegal,blm has made a multi million business of this .there is no wild horse overpopulation there is overpopulation of cattle destroying our land&displacing all wildlife.roundups are cruel horses injured killed separated from their family,traumatized.penning them brings fights injuries starvation& disease
