Our Savior was born in a stable, and will return on the back of a horse. I am appalled at the cruelty and ruthlessness of the people involved, both directly and indirectly. On Judgement day we will all be held accountable for our actions. I hope there is a special place ...... waiting for those who commit, condone, or even allow these merciless activities.REPORT COMMENTS

The wild mustang and burros must be restored to safety. Anyone who believes that slaughter is the answer is a criminal and committing abuse. They should be turned back to their freedom OR release for citizens to purchase, not killed. You would be killing our American heritage. What has happened to the people of our country? It is so sad to me. What next? Old, Sick people will be murdered?REPORT COMMENTS

Please return the "Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act" (WHBA) of 1971, so the wild equines can live their life in their land once again. Please repeal The Burns Amendment and restore it back with the "Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act" (WHBA) of 1971. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

?Never, never, be afraid to do what?s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society?s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way?. !! Martin Luther King (Jr) .? A review of the scienti?c literature, as well as practical experience, shows that horses excel at simpler forms of learning such as classical and operant conditioning?. Furthermore, horses have shown ease in stimulus generalization and discrimination learning. Most recently and unexpected by many, horses have solved advanced cognitive challenges involving categorization learning and some degree of concept formation.? In short, she says, ?Horses, both feral and domesticated, are faced with varied conditions that require an assortment of learning and perceptual capabilities.? The small-brained horse, Dr. Hanggi points out, is an unkind myth: A horse?s brain is not the size of a walnut (400-700 grams compared to 15); in fact, this ?complex organ? has many folds and ?more folds, more brainpower.? It is equally untrue that their ?flight instinct? (?spook-and-bolt?) is a sign of low intelligence. ?Horses spook not because they are stupid but because they are smart enough to have survived a few million years.? Although horses do seem to have a propensity to hurt themselves on doors and fences ? seen as ?dumb? animal behavior by some ? it?s because they are supposed to live on wide-open ranges, not ?in small, dark enclosures with sharp edges.? This cruel confinement (for most racehorses, up to 23 hours a day) causes mental anguish, as evidenced by ?cribbing, weaving, head bobbing, pacing, and self-mutilation.? Horses can sort geometric shapes into specific classes and have demonstrated an ability to conceptualize. By virtue of an ?exceptional memory,? they can ?generalize about things they have never seen before.? Oh, and they can count. In short, Dr. Hanggi says, ??horses possess some learning abilities akin to those of the more accepted animal intellectuals, i.e., dolphins, sea lions and chimpanzees ? the result being a far cry from simple conditioning.?REPORT COMMENTS
