BLM -1971 TO PRESENT W/ WILD HORSES
The indomitable human spirit is the enduring, unyielding, and resolute aspect of humanity that allows us to persevere through adversity.
President Nixon stated when signing the 1971 Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act that “Wild Horses and Burros merits man's protection historically - for they are the living link with the days of conquistadors, through the heroic times of the Western Indians and the pioneers, to our own day when the tonic of wildness seems all too scarce. More than that, they merit it as a matter of ecological right- as anyone knows who has ever stood awed at the indomitable spirit and sheer energy of a Mustang running free”. Much has changed since 1971. To be a effective advocate we should try and know as much information as possible regarding Wild Horses and burros. This is just a minute scale of some of the key impacts of Wild Horses and Burros.
