Conflict of interest flourishes where the Last Golden Age of the wild horse in North America has already passed all of by loaded into semis trailers bound for uncertainty and loss. What is BLM’s standing when they keep removing the wild herds in preference of corporate developments? How can those who capture, kill, and hoard our wild ones have any standing at all? Their self engineered ‘rights’ to carry out these actions have become the drain hole into which wildness and designated ranges are given no heed.

This year we do need to meet out there and show we will bring more people in the future and we, the people, can have ‘standing’ because we want to study and protect and preserve these wild ones.

We need people out there to visit and learn and we need wild horse lovers to stand together and stop this senseless destruction of individuals and families. I wonder if there are people reading this who will help me.īecause it is already late, and the DoI-BLM-Special Interest machine does not sleep. I think we need to show the world what the insanity of 40,000 horses and burros removed from their home ranges and in captivity looks like. I think several thousand of us need to be there to teach each other, Congress, the American public, and the world, what is going on with America’s horses and burros, and the darkness they face at the hands of our government. I think we need a teach-in about wild horse and burro removals “around” a BLM field office in 2012 or “around” the DoI Building in Washington,DC or at “The Fence” in the Pryor Mountains HMA. Try as I might to believe in my government, I fail to find any “protection” left for wild horses and burros on their own home ranges, as mandated in the very first words of the Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act, in its own opening statement of purpose: “To require the PROTECTION, management, and control of wild free-roaming horses and burros on public lands.” Try as I might to believe the path of destruction the DoI is laying for our horses and burros might end, it goes on blindly into a wilderness of injury and death.Įxcept for a few, an emasculated Congress and a President who turns his face away continue to run our horses and burros over the cliff. “The Fence” on the Pryor Mountain HMA is an insult and injury to Echo, her family, and all wild equines. One picture is worth a thousand words: Terry Fitch’s photo of cattle going onto the Antelope Complex AT THE SAME TIME horses were being FORCIBLY removed says it all. One separated family band, one separated pair, one orphaned foal, one injury or death, is too many, for these reasons, with our money. Some of you know me from advocacy events over the last few years. in Agriculture, specializing in Watershed Management.

I teach in a college Equine Studies Department. I am an equestrian and used to be a good-hearted BLM volunteer. I am offended by BLM removal, transport, and warehousing of horses and burros on my dime. On the tip of his nose he had a pink snip, just like his great grandpa Raven, his grandpa Cloud, and his father, Bolder. He looked snow white but, on closer examination, I could see his stockings and the blaze on his face. We could see a little colt lying in the snow under a juniper tree. We spotted Bolder and his family far out on a still snowy, finger-like ridge on Sykes.

It was early May before Makendra and I could get up on the Pryors to look for the colt that supposedly looked like Cloud. In April 2010, Bolder’s black mare, Cascade, gave birth to a pale colt. I know many of you have already sent in your comments to the BLM regarding the planned permanent removal of 30 young Pryor mustangs, but I’d like you to consider adding a special plea for Echo, Cloud’s little grandson (BLM name is Killian). We cannot stand quietly and let Cloud’s herd disappear into the night, we simply cannot allow it!” ~ R.T. They do what they do to the special horses of the Pryor Mountains because, and I quote, ‘We Can’!Īs volunteer President of the Wild Horse Freedom Federation I publicly state that we stand beside Ginger and the Cloud Foundation in asking you all to click on the link at the end of this letter and follow the guidelines on how you can help in stopping this BLM travesty. There is nothing contrived or over-inflated in her urgent plea for help as I have personnally looked into the vacant eyes of those who manage the BLM office in Billings Montana and there is not a heart or soul to be seen. “ The following is a plea from my personal friend, Ginger Kathrens.
