Horses and The Economy
About the economy and its affect on the horses in the U.S.
I am also referring to the horses in Nevada when I say that previously owned horses cannot live on their own. People have had god intentions when they let loose their horse into the wild glades of Nevada to roam with the wild horses, but again, they do not understand that that horse cannot develop along with the wild mustangs. There are many horrible outcomes that may surface for that horse. The horse may not be included with the roaming herd and will therefore be force to live on its own with no knowledge of the surrounding areas. This will end in the sure fact that the horse will die unless it can somehow learn to survive.
Wild horses have grown up in the wilderness and therefore, they know all the tricks and shortcuts to survive, but a domesticated horse does not. Domesticated horses do not know where to find water or how to find food. During the horrible snows in the winter, horses will not know where to look for vegetation hiding below the snow covered prairies.
Back to the economy playing a role in all this devastation though, when people are laid-off from their jobs because they can no longer afford to pay them, it hurts their lifestyle. Keeping money from small town people is also a horrible thing because they too will no longer be able to survive. Plus, those people that continuously just scrape on by with barely enough to live on cannot endure the hardships of our failing economy.
In the end, all of this again falls back to the horses and their no longer safe homes. I know that I am one of those people that would put my horse and my animals before myself, but not all are so lucky. I do not blame anyone except the government, and maybe not even them. Okay, yes it is them. When you continuously make deals that you cannot oblige to, you hurt everyone around you.
I hope that things will turn around in the near future, for both the horses sake and ours.
