Sagebrush Spirit is Vanishing

Tough times lie ahead for Nevada's wild horses. There are already more horses in government pens than exist on the open range.

AND MORE ROUND-UPS ARE UNDERWAY.

This story http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6561329 will tell you more.

Two especially touching quotes :

"It's like they came and took the spirit right off the land," said one Cold Creek resident

"It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. My kids ask, where are the horses going, mommy? Are they going to bring the horses back?"


The rural community of Cold Creek simply isn't the same. The wild horses that used to appear nightly to frolic in front yards, graze in the open desert, or to drink water in the evenings, are all but gone. Residents still spot a lone stallion here and there, but it's not the same.
