Kim Miller argues that there have
been too many unnecessary horse deaths.
Wild horse supporters blame the Bureau of Land Management for these
deaths due to not handling the horses properly.
She claims that the lack of public awareness is one of the reasons not
many people have stood up against the round ups. Miller develops this claim by first
investigating wild horse advocate groups, which include celebrities like Viggo
Mortensen and Sheryl Crow. The groups
feel that the horses are being treated unfairly and inhumanely. Miller informs us according to the Bureau of
Land Management, there are an estimated 37,000 wild horses roaming on public
land. They feel that this number is
10,000 horses over the acceptable herd size.
Lastly, the author hopes that with additional public awareness, there
will be more postponements of scheduled round ups. Kim Miller’s purpose is to bring this issue
to the public in order to save the last part of America’s wild west. This work
is significant because it creates a public awareness of what the Bureau of Land
Management is doing to these horses and that if we do not speak up against it,
they will continue to reduce the wild population until they are extinct.
