The New Documentary Uncovers the Controversial Issues Surrounding Wild Horse Round-Ups
TELLURIDE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2016 / James Anaquad Kleinert a revealing, provocative and hard-hitting Western documentary director, is pleased to announce the release of his newest film, CENTAUR, The Plight of Mother Earth.
Even though CENTAUR – Plight of the Wild Horses and Mother Earth was just announced, it is already getting a lot of attention from people who are concerned about the environmental management of America's wild horses and public lands.
"Our government's current goal of drastically reducing already tiny and genetically vulnerable wild herds includes the partial sterilization of mares, through PZP injection, and the unnatural skewing of sex ratios to establish excess males in this naturally harem type of horse society," noted Kleinert, adding that even more invasive measures are being planned, including painful and often lethal castration of stallions, ovariectomies of mares, and emotionally/mentally deranging and socially disruptive sterilization drugs.
"Today, our nation's last remaining wild horses and burros find themselves in a very critical situation. They are actually more imperiled than they were in 1971, for their chief enemies reside within the very agencies charged with their protection."
As Kleinert—who has been producing films in the American West for over 15 years—noted, he and others are fearful that the government will continue to over-use fertility control on certain herds that replaces natural selection with artificial selection and additionally interferes with wild horses both individually and collectively. The horses often suffer from over use of PZP birth control and can cause females to have foals out of season during winter months, causing them to die in cold weather conditions.
In order to help cover the production costs of CENTAUR, The Plight of Mother Earth, Kleinert recently launched a fundraiser on Kickstarter. He hopes to raise $17,788 through crowdfunding.
