Summary:
Mass murder of wild horses is probably the worst wild animal massacre in this century. In Nevada, wild horses share a land where many chattels are live on; they also are protected by the law. Yet, many complaints were presented by cattlemen association and wild horses have been targets during military practices.
Response:
I have chosen this article because was interested in since the first time that I have read in July, also it was shown on the TV about the American wild horses. Generally, the article is very important about the natural wild life and who is the responsible about it, because of the mass killing of wild horses, it should be very strict roles to safe these creatures.
