America’s Summer of the Wild Horse and Burro Wipe-Out

Extinction is Forever

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has recently been on a rampage many are now calling ‘America's Summer of the Wild Horse and Burro Wipe-Out.’

BLM has grossly misused the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Program for years, managing for Extinction, rather than Preservation.

Instead of protecting America’s beloved wild horse and wild burro herds, BLM has increasingly been giving in to endless pressure from Washington lobbyists and special interest groups such as big game hunting, mining, oil drilling, development, and cattle ranching.

Documents from Bureau of Land Management Reflect Intent of BLM for Wild Horses in Holding Facilities & on Public Lands

Quote from internal BLM document discussing euthanasia of wild horses: “Increased support from public relations and management staff would also be needed to insulate those doing the actual work from the public, media and Congressional scrutiny/criticism.”

BLM Plans to "Dump" Wild Horses

clipper's remarks: How the Bureau of Land Management is breaking the law and charging tax payers for it.

This clip is only a fraction of the shocking info on this page.

Clip Source: www.kbrhorse.net

If one is to believe the Government Accounting Office (GAO) findings, it appears that the wild horse "problem" is a simple one. Our public lands management agency, the BLM, allowed itself to be overly influenced by public lands ranchers and other special interests, thereby thwarting the will of Congress and the American Public. Furthermore, BLM policies, not the presence of the horses, were the primary contributors to degradation of range conditions and spiraling taxpayer costs.

Public lands "welfare" ranchers (those subsidized by our tax dollars) produce less than 2% of America's beef supply. So how much does this industry actually cost Americans in tax subsidies and damage to our public lands?

Subsidies to the public lands ranching industry cost us taxpayers nearly a half billion dollars per year! -

clipper's remarks: It's not too late to save some of Cloud's herd. Please don't give up!

Clip Source: www.thecloudfoundation.org

On Sunday we think that the Cattoors will round up all the horses on the mountain-top-- Cloud's band included-- and drive them the 10-12 miles down the mountain. We are most concerned with the week-old filly and the elderly Bigfoot. There is no reason to bring these specific horses down the mountain and we are requesting that the roundup crew leave them alone.

There is an incredible public outcry for these horses and while the BLM is turning a blind eye to the public whose horses they are charged with managing, others are listening. Please continue to call and demand that your congressionals ask the Montana senators Baucus and Tester, as well as congressman Denny Rehberg, why they are allowing the destruction of this unique little herd on their watch. Tester and Baucus' offices have been telling us that this matter is in the BLM's hands-- this is unacceptable. Demand that fewer horses be removed. These horses are far too special to give up on.

clipper's remarks: Does Vick FEEL genuine remorse?

Clip Source: www.animallawcoalition.com

The National Football League has conditionally reinstated Michael Vick. Conditionally because he cannot play at least until the 6^th game of the season, and he must demonstrate "genuine remorse" before he can do so. Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL, has long said Vick must demonstrate "genuine remorse" for his crimes before he can play professional football once again.

Pro Slaughter Group Issues Tainted Survey Results

In Horse Slaughter on July 10, 2009 at 9:33 am

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHICAGO, (EWA) – The Unwanted Horse Coalition, a subsidiary of the American Horse Council continues to present a false facade of neutrality on the explosive issue of horse slaughter in America, all the while doing everything in its considerable power to bring back an industry shunned by the overwhelming majority of Americans.

For the sake of the horses, the truth needs to be heard!

The Washington D.C. based lobbying group has the support of pro slaughter breeders, ranchers, and others with an economic interest in disposing of horses for profit – no matter the cruelty involved.

Where Is The Conservative Outrage At The Torture Memos?

clipper's remarks: Where indeed

Clip Source: themoderatevoice.com

Taking a brief glance over at Memeorandum I can’t help but notice the radio silence from the Right on the release of the Bush OLC torture memos. Andrew Sullivan made the same point earlier today. The biggest voices on the right - Malkin, Instapundit, Drudge - have said absolutely nothing about the release of these stunning memos.

Why is this worth mentioning?

Because, just yesterday, these same figures on the Right touted a nationwide series of demonstrations against all sorts of supposed government oppression. In hundreds of demonstrations around the country, protesters waved placards proclaiming Obama a fascist, supporting individual liberty, and decrying the Federal government’s abridgment of Constitutional limitations.
