Check Out Our New Display on Wild Horses!

This is part of our ongoing series that was formally titled "Government Document of the Month" but we're now calling it "Government Documents of Interest!" 

Check out our new display featuring government documents about wild horses:

America’s Wild Horses and Burros

Wild (actually, feral) horses are the subject of art and argument, fantasy and faction.  While we love to think of them galloping freely across the plains, or grazing contentedly in the salt grass marshes of our own barrier islands, what human efforts are involved in maintaining these idyllic images?  The fascinating history of our interaction with and impact upon feral horses may be traced through government documents.  Who was Wild Horse Annie?  Is there really birth control for horses?  What is involved in being responsible ecological stewards for our feral friends?  Lots of food for thought here, so delve in and discover how one person can profoundly alter a nation’s conscience, and chart a course towards responsible animal welfare.
