[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 217438, member: 1233"] I just saw a small video spotlight on Madeline Pickens, wife of T Boone Pickens (a hero in my town as he has given so very generously to our University). I did not know she was such an animal lover. After Katrina she hired a jetliner and took about 800,000 animals to other places by plane so that they could be adopted. Now she is setting up a 1 million acre ranch for the wild mustangs. they have been rounded up in larger numbers off of the public land. It was suggested that these 30,000 horses be EUTHANIZED just because they use resourced cattle use. the ranch will be a place families can go to see the horses roam free, camp or stay in cabins, learn about the West, etc... She figures if a person can have a cattle ranch and access the federal land to help support them, she should be able to access some of the same land to support the horses. And, being a Pickens, I doubt anyone will tell her no. her ranch should be open in about a year. Bush is petitioning congress to support the animals until the ranch is open. I didn't know much about her until now. But this is seriously cool. Here is a link to the video:[url]http://spotlight.news.yahoo.com/v/10744894[/url] [/QUOTE]
