Ep #17: Visiting Sable Island
October 9, 2023Time is Running Out for the Wild Horses of McCullough Peaks
November 2, 2023
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is home to just under 200 wild horses. It is the only national park with horses living in it, making the park that much more unique. Today’s conversation with photographer and wild horse advocate, Christine Kman, will inform us of the National Park’s ongoing plan to eliminate the entire herd of horses. This is something they have tried to do since the horses were fenced in back during the 1940s.
Christine lives in Medora, North Dakota, the southern gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. A frequent visitor for years, she and her husband began photographing the wildlife and beauty found within as a hobby. For the last 2 years, they have been learning about, documenting, and advocating for the wild horses in this area.
Tune in this week and find out how you can help save the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. People have the misconception that with all the support that we have, even from the state of North Dakota government, the horses are saved. They’re not. We’re still fighting to keep the beautiful horses in their home, to live free, and be enjoyed by our future generations.

Please leave our Wildhorses that are suppose to be Fedrally protected. They are being anillated from this earth they call their home. They have the right to be free. Please help us save our wildhorses and keep them WILD AND FREE.
WHY does the
US Government or it’s agent the BML hate the majestic wild horses so much ? ? THEY DELIBERATELY USE INHUMANE practices during thier “roundups” of helicopters that terrorize these poor animals & end up with many getting maimed & therefore have to be euthanized or the ones captured so many are auctioned & end up in hands of people that SELL THEM FOR PROFIT TO SLAUGHTER. THEY ARE DENIED A GOOD LIFE BY RESCUE FACILITIES that would take as many as possible to save them from this oaweful despicable DEATH ❗ ❗
PLEASE THEY ARE ON A NATIONAL PARK 🏞 WHO ARE THEY HURTING BEING THERE ? ? ?
STOP 🛑 THIS CRAZINESS PLEASE
