Don't know yet exactly what he meant, but the BLM never seems to do anything without leaving themselves an out. We shall see.<br /><br />Kerry ~ These horses are just the ones the BLM has had in Long Term Holding - some for years - and they have already been sterilized. As far as the roundups - it certainly won't do the wild horses any good if all of them get sterilized to go into THIS sanctuary! Questions are being asked about that very thing right now.<br /><br />I think this particular sanctuary will only hold 20,000 to 30,000 anyway, and that's less than what the BLM already HAS in LTH without any more being added. So, many questions remain.MorganLvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021821392458127270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080870652015044548.post-79341077595419437152010-09-18T21:20:18.258-04:002010-09-18T21:20:18.258-04:00Awesome!

How will this affect the gene pool in the future? Will the wild horses and burros remaining on original public lands still have to deal with the same BLM policies? Will continued round-ups be the source of new/continued animals introduced into the santcuaryKerryhttp://blogs.chron.com/hoofbeatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080870652015044548.post-79483297465312633972010-09-18T17:30:53.961-04:002010-09-18T17:30:53.961-04:00That's some great news for a change.
