What is your opinion on this?? How should the ASNF be treating wild horses?

How should the ASNF be treating wild horses? Do you believe the claims that these horses are the destroyers of the ecosystem even when they represent only 4 % of all the grazers in the forest?

Group rallies at state Capitol to save Alpine wild horses

PHOENIX – The fight to save a herd of wild horses in northeastern Arizona continues. A group of rescue advocates met at the state Capitol, Friday, to rally support for proposed legislation that would protect the herd of wild horses living near Alpine from their ultimate demise. The U.S.

Why is the ASNF so adamant on discarding naturally occurring animals (wild horses) while allowing 1000’s of introduced cattle to be released in the same areas? Why are there over 7000 elk in the same area but hunters pointing fingers at 400 (now fewer than 200) horses??
Why is it so difficult for some stakeholders to share the forest? Horse advocates certainly aren’t demanding other animals to be removed. We know there is enough forest (500.000 acres) to peacefully share. And we are reasonable, there are humane ways to reduce a population, all we want is for them NOT to end up on a slaughtertruck.

There are better ways. The public is also a stakeholder and the ASNF forgets that sometimes, so that’s you, they forget about you. So please let us know what you think and why we should pass a bill against shooting and slaughtering Alpine wild horses!

Thank you. And thank you ABC15.

Join us for the ride for the Alpine wild horses and the Salt River wild horses!! The Ride starts at American Legion Post 58 in Fountain Hills where registration is from 9am to 11am.

  • The impressive procession for the horses can best be viewed from the pullout at mm 36 on Bush Hwy around 10 am.
  • The End Party starts at Superstition Harley-Davidson® Apache Junction from 11am-3pm
  • Key note speaker, Simone Netherlands*
  • LIVE MUSIC • Vendors • Give-A-Ways • Food Trucks • Merchandise, Raffles, Giant Group photo & More!

Look what we have! Apache's band used to run in the Apache Forest but the ApacheSitgreaves Forest Service got rid of them and sold them at auction without limitation to slaughter, at which we rescued them. #shameonasnf We documented this band in the wild and that's how we were able to find them in different auctions and reunite them again. They are now proud mom and dad of their foal that was conceived in the wild, but born at our Prescott rescue. All horses in the video are part of the band and Apache is standing guard a little ways off. Without your help, we cannot do this work and therefore we thank you for following our page, for donating and for standing up for the Alpine wild horses! Now we have to go feed them and check on baby. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

This is why we are outthere warning people that they are still wild horses, and things can change in a second. Please dear visitors, stay 50 ft from the horses at all times, for their well being, and for your own safety! Thank you AZDA for helping to educate the public. Sidenote: Most of the public is great outthere, it's just the fjew, who tend to ruin it for the rest. Thank you to the public who speaks up for the horses also, it's fine if u do, if we all do it kindly. Let this be a warning that it will not be the horses fault if someone gets run over. Sincerely worried, not about the horses but about the public. ... See MoreSee Less
