Citizen Petition from Tirza Eden

A private individual from the UK expresses strong opposition to the killing of brumbies, describing the practice as cruel and unnecessary for the environment. The commenter urges the agency to find alternative methods that do not involve slaughter.

The commenter opposes the sterilization and management of wild mustang herds, arguing that these animals are national treasures and part of the public domain. They express strong opposition to the methods of rounding up and slaughtering the horses, calling for the preservation of their genetic diversity.

The commenter supports Tirza Eden's petition by endorsing a statement from the Wild Horse Fire Brigade. They argue that wild horses should be managed as ecological assets for wildfire mitigation rather than being treated as liabilities that require costly roundups and federal management.

A concerned citizen and wild horse supporter is urging the FDA to grant a citizen petition regarding the safety and efficacy of GonaCon-Equine and ZonaStat-H. The commenter argues that these products cause heritable genetic issues, ovarian dysfunction, and chronic welfare problems in wild horses, violating federal protections.

An individual supports Tirza Eden's petition requesting that the FDA take jurisdiction over GonaCon-Equine and ZonaStat-H (PZP). The commenter argues that these products act as selective chemical sterilants that threaten genetic diversity and wild horse welfare, citing specific scientific studies and the Assateague Island herd as evidence.

The commenter opposes the action by arguing that wild horses are a national icon and an integral part of the environment. They express concern for the welfare of the horses during rounding up and suggest that there are too many cattle and sheep on public lands.

The commenter opposes the management practices of the BLM and USFS regarding wild horses and burros, specifically criticizing the use of "poisonous toxins" like PZP. They argue that the agencies are unfairly targeting wild horses to benefit cattle ranchers and call for an end to roundups and sterilization procedures.
