    The Mustang is part of the west ~ made history with us ~ we love them ~ sure the truckers can make great money ~ they, the Mustang is not competing with our grazing rights ~ some who want them gone say they're destroying the land ~ that's crazy Bull shipt ~ they keep grass and other fuel down so that there are less range fires ~ there are not enough of our good friends out there ```

    RE: Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program – oversight hearing request


    Many of us advocating for wild horses have genuine concerns about how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is handling the Wild Horse and Burro (WHB) Program. The acknowledgment that wild horses and burros were “fast disappearing,” spurred the enactment of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The act recognizes WHBs as “living symbols of the historic and pioneering spirit of the west.” It also required studies of habitats of free-ranging horses and burros, setting land aside for their use, and that BLM maintain a natural ecological balance among wild horses, wildlife, livestock, and vegetation. Since 1971, WHBs have lost 41% of their legal land, are greatly outnumbered by livestock, and are headed for extinction. For reasons listed below, we feel BLM has failed to protect them and to follow the intent of the law. We hope you will hear our concerns. They are as follows:

    1. According to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the BLM is operating illegally with a temporary director by violating the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. Under that act, any action taken by a noncompliant official “shall have no force or effect,” nor may it be later “ratified.” It is well known that U.S. Representative Chris Stewart (UT) has led the effort to wipe out wild horses and that he typically supports livestock over wild horses on public lands. His former Chief of Staff, Brian Steed, was initially acting BLM director, and he has been replaced with acting director William Pendley. We feel this results in bias that favors livestock. Page not found - PEER.org

    2. The BLM sets “Appropriate Management Levels” (AMLs) for each Horse Management Area (HMA), which they claim is the maximum number of horses or burros that a given HMA can sustain. When an HMA is “over AML,” they set roundups of wild horses or burros into motion. A decision was made by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in October of 2016 that concluded that not only are (a) AMLs not written into the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, but that (b) the AMLs are arbitrarily established, and excess of AML does not equate with overpopulation. BLM is, therefore, under no obligation to remove horses just because their populations exceed these agency-created AMLs. Return To Freedom – Major Victory for Wild Horses: Federal Appeals Court Tosses State of Wyoming’s Anti-Mustang Lawsuit, Oct. 11, 2016

    3. Furthermore, according to the 2013 taxpayer-funded study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), Using Science to Improve BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way Forward, “how AMLs are established, monitored, and adjusted, is not transparent to stakeholders, supported by scientific information, or amenable to adaptation with new scientific information and environmental and social change.” Also, “data and methods used to inform decisions should be scientifically defensible, and the public should be able to understand the methods used and how they are implemented and to assess the data used to make decisions.” https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE...prd3796106.pdf

    4. According to a 2016 General Accounting Office (GAO) report on private livestock trespass grazing on public lands, it was noted that instances of trespass grazing are typically not recorded. Therefore, the number of cattle and sheep on public lands is not known. The report also noted that BLM/USFS staff did not consider monitoring grazing allotments to be a priority, and that allotments were often too remote to monitor. Oftentimes grazing livestock permits are renewed without full environmental review. Since horses share HMAs with cattle and sheep, how can they know for certain that horses are the ones degrading the range shared with livestock? U.S. GAO - Unauthorized Grazing: Actions Needed to Improve Tracking and Deterrence Efforts

    5. Some of BLM’s wild horse population estimates are biologically impossible. They have stated that some herds have increased by as much as 775% in ONE year. False statements are a Federal crime punishable by prison time - BLM RELEASES FALSE POPULATION STATISTICS FOR WILD HORSES AND BURROS - Wild Horse Freedom Federation

    6. BLM has set many HMAs below genetic viability, which will lead to slow extinction of these federally protected herds. According to equine geneticist Gus Cothran, of Texas A & M College of Veterinary Medicine, a herd needs 150-200 wild horses or burros to maintain genetic viability, and yet many AMLs are set to 75 or below. We need a science-based rationale for determining AMLs, especially in light of the NAS findings (#3 above) regarding AMLs, before these herds are driven any further into extinction. Rounding up thousands of wild horses is, simply put, not backed by science. AML & Genetic Viability - Google Docs
    Genetic Diversity and Viability | American Wild Horse Campaign

    7. Wild horses and burros have lost 41% of their legally-designated lands since 1971 and share nearly every HMA with livestock. They are only present on 12% of BLM land. For example, in Nevada, the allowed number of horses on 15.6 million acres is 12,811. Livestock has been given 43 million acres and 2 million AUMs (Animal Unit Month), which equals a cow and calf or five sheep. Other states show similar data. In spite of this, horses are blamed for all range degradation. The excuse is that cattle are “not there year round,” but the damage they do in a few months is immense and should be part of every Environmental Assessment (EA) where land is shared with horses. BLM has failed to assess millions of acres of rangeland (most shared with horses). For example, in Arizona, 68% of grazing permits were renewed without an environmental review. Internal Server Error

    8. Wild horses used to have some semblance of protection once rounded up. Title was not granted for one year after adoption, which prevented a quick turn around to kill buyers. Once a horse is adopted through the main adoption program and titled or sold as “sale authority,” they immediately lose federal protection and are at risk for slaughter. BLM recently attempted to change its policy to allow a person to buy 24 horses every day and they have combined the adoption form and title, which in theory funnels these federally protected wild horses immediately into the slaughter pipeline. Rescues cannot keep up with the steady flow of BLM-branded mustangs coming through the kill pens in our border states each week. THE TRUTH #23 – The BLM to combine sales and adoptions on the same application form, making it easier to hide how many wild horses and burros are actually being sold (into the slaughter pipeline) in their records. - Wild Horse Freedom Federation

    9. According to the NAS 2013 report, current BLM management practices (helicopters and removing horses from the range) are actually facilitating high rates of population growth. Comprehensive Animal Welfare Policy (CAWP) has been violated by paid contractors in some instances and inhumane treatment has continually been observed at roundups, i.e., a mare chased by a helicopter while giving birth, broken necks from crashing into corral panels, foals dying of “capture shock,” euthanasia of multiple horses for supposed blindness, club feet, and other questionable afflictions. Furthermore, holding facilities are oftentimes filthy and without any protection from the harsh elements. Horses standing in pens, with no stimulation for sometimes many years at taxpayers’ expense, is inhumane and unacceptable. Eagle Update; CAWP violations – Wild Horse Education

    10. By using only 1% of their budget on birth control, BLM does virtually nothing to effectively manage what they deem to be overpopulation, an as yet unproven claim. They do nothing until they create a supposed crisis and then a roundup is their only “solution.” Oftentimes they call for an “emergency ‘gather’,” which removes the public from any participation in the process. They claim wild horses have no natural predators, but neglect to mention predators have virtually been wiped out on behalf of public lands ranchers (another cost to taxpayers). As outlined above, BLM is lacking scientific evidence of overpopulation, and their refusal over the years to do an actual census complicates matters further. Unless and until they are able to provide scientific proof, a moratorium on birth control and roundups should be sought.

    11. The BLM WHB Program Advisory Board is stacked with ranchers or people unsympathetic to the plight of the wild horses and burros. It is a conflict of interest, and therefore a breach of the board charter, to have people profiting directly from public lands making decisions about proper management of wild horses. The board has recommended socially unacceptable plans to euthanize tens of thousands of “protected” wild horses in holding, along with inhumane sterilization of wild mares against public outcry—twice. BLM holds summits and round table discussions on wild horses without allowing advocates to attend. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environm...nd-the-public/

    12. By adopting 10-year plans, “BLM has disregarded its statutory and regulatory obligation to undertake roundup-specific analysis of the horses and their habitat. The BLM is also ignoring its responsibility to ensure public participation in such decisions.” https://friendsofanimals.org/news/fo.../#.XGIO0C2ZPLY

    13. A five year FOIA investigation of BLM WHB holding pens, undertaken by the Wild Horse Freedom Federation (WHFF), noted violations including misrepresentations, lack of scientific accounting for wild horses and burros on and off range, multitudes of inconsistencies in documentation presented to both the American public and Congress, and waste of taxpayer funds. The white paper that resulted from this research documented purposeful attempts by the BLM to mislead and confuse the taxpaying public and legislators. Data from this 2017 report shows large numbers of horses having disappeared from the holding pens or during transports, where they never arrived. Other issues documented include lack of humane treatment of wild horses and burros on and off range; herd growth rates based on BLM’s own statistics that are scientifically and biologically impossible—and the main driver of roundups; and the BLM’s justification for roundups as a very serious threat to herd population dynamics and genetic diversity, and therefore long-term herd survival. http://wildhorsefreedomfederation.org/white-paper/

    14. Finally, as the federal government looks to rein in unnecessary spending, we ask that legislators look at the cost to taxpayers of private livestock grazing on our public lands. Direct and indirect subsidies to public lands ranchers are costing the American taxpayers up to $1 billion each year. The wild horse and burro “roundup and warehouse” paradigm alone has now reached over $70 million annually, which clears the land to increase private livestock numbers. With public lands grazing fees far below national rates, BLM is losing over $100 million per year on the program. All of this—for a program that contributes only 1.9% to the nation’s beef supply? https://www.westernwatersheds.org/su...american-west/

    The extreme bias demonstrated against protected wild horses and burros on our public lands, and in favor of the livestock industry, is clear and must be addressed for the largest stakeholder—the taxpaying American public. For instance, BLM has used the Farm Bureau to write EAs (Devil’s Garden, CA) and they do not typically consider livestock in range decisions where horses are, even though they outnumber horses by the millions. According to a complaint filed by PEER, BLM was carrying out a plan to map ecological trends throughout the western United States, but directed scientists to exclude livestock grazing as a possible factor in changing landscapes. The reason given by BLM managers was “anxiety from stakeholders (ranchers), fear of litigation, and lack of data on grazing impacts.” If BLM is tasked with managing both programs, they need to fairly and scientifically manage both. The number of roundups has greatly increased under the current administration and yet we are not aware that they have ever enacted 43 CFR 4710.5, which allows them to close areas to livestock grazing to provide for wild horses and burros. https://www.peer.org/news/press-rele...ck-damage.html

    Given all of the above information, we have many concerns regarding BLM’s management of wild horses and burros. We respectfully call for (a) a moratorium on these scientifically-indefensible roundups until the above issues are addressed, and (b) oversight hearings into the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. Taxpayers are especially concerned with the inhumane treatment of these federally protected herds, the use of fraudulent data to perpetuate the “roundup and warehouse” paradigm, and the misuse of taxpayer funds. We feel these national icons deserve the protection bestowed upon them in 1971 and are calling on you to keep the promise we made.

    Opinion: Sen Murkowski can help determine the future of the American wild horse
    Alaskans can play an important role in making sure wild mustangs are around for generations.


    "...For 50 years, the bureau has used helicopters to chase down and round up terrified horses to remove them from the range. Not only do these aerial assaults stress horses, they cause injuries and deaths as horses are stampeded into holding pens. Removed from their native range, horses then live out the rest of their days at taxpayer expense in government corrals.

    This cruelty is bad enough, but it is made even worse because the roundups achieve the opposite effect intended. Rather than reduce population growth on the range, the roundups foster population growth; research shows that herds grow even more quickly after roundups.

    The whole brutal and unsustainable practice costs us all dearly: an estimated $102 million per year and growing, only to exacerbate a growing problem we are trying to humanely solve."

    Today is yesterday, tomorrow is today, yesterday today. Quaker Republican President Nixon signed a federal law to *protect* as he knew wild horses were connected to the land. They are originally a native species to North America.

    Public Law 92-195, The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 has been violated for several years at great expense to a very large number of animals who have been suffering under wrong, money-driven, mismanagement.

    The American people want them saved, taken care of, not herded, destroyed by a species that ""neglects"" to see. You write $#@! for sentences. Crimes committed against federally protected wild horses and burros is a serious offense.

    Nope. The Spanish introduced them.

    Yes world, there were horses in Native

    "Collin also drew from interviews with American Indian study participants from seven different Nations. Every indigenous community that was interviewed reported having horses prior to European arrival, and each community had a traditional creation story explaining the sacred place of the horse within their societies."

    The Survival of Horses in Pre-Columbian America

    Many people believe that the horse completely disappeared from North America, where it evolved, prior to the arrival of Europeans. But what if it did not?

    [...]

    Pre-Colonial Aboriginal Horses: Distinct and Separate Breeds

    In 1991, Claire Henderson, a member of the History Department at Laval University in Quebec City, wrote a paper entitled The Aboriginal North American Horse supporting the beliefs of the North American Native people that horses were present long before the arrival of Europeans and did not go extinct.

    “Dakota/Lakota Elders as well as many other Indian nations … contend that according to their oral history, the North American horse survived the Ice Age, and that they had developed a horse culture long before the arrival of Europeans, and, furthermore, that these same distinct ponies continued to thrive on the prairies until the latter part of the 19th century, when the U.S. government ordered them rounded up and destroyed to prevent Indians from leaving the newly-created reservations,” Henderson stated. “Some biologists have pointed out that Elders could indeed be correct, for while the mammoth and other Pleistocene mammals died out during the last Ice Age in both continents, if the horse survived in Eurasia, there is no reason for it to have become extinct in North America, especially given similar environment and climate on the steppes and prairies.”

    GUEST COLUMN:

    Wild horses’ future in hands of senators

    By Greg Hendricks

    Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020 | 2 a.m.

    The great state of Nevada is home to half of the nation’s federally protected wild horses and is ground zero in the national debate over how these Western icons should be managed.

    Nevada’s two U.S. senators, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, have an upcoming opportunity to ensure that the wishes of their constituents — 82% of whom want wild horses protected as important symbols for the state and the nation — are upheld by supporting reform within the federal Wild Horse and Burro Program managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

    These treasured animals have been mismanaged and inhumanely treated for decades, but Cortez Masto and Rosen can play influential roles in how they are protected and managed going forward.

    This summer, the House of Representatives took a strong step toward such reform when it passed an amendment to fiscal year 2021 spending legislation requiring the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program to spend $11 million of its $102 million-a-year budget on humane fertility control as an alternative to cruel helicopter roundups that are used annually to remove thousands of wild horses from public lands. [...]

    Greg Hendricks of Carson City is director of Field Operations for the American Wild Horse Campaign.

    NYT catches Dave Cattoor on Tape
    Conspiring to Hide Wild Horse
    Injuries/Deaths from Press and Public

    Documented Deception by BLM’s Contractor Dave Cattor

    "The recent New York Times video report of the BLM’s destruction of the Wild Horse herd of Twin Peaks captures Helicopter Stampede contractor, David Cattoor, clearly stating how he and the BLM will shoot and hide the death of an injured horse so that “we aren’t going to give them the shot that they want.”

    Obviously conspiring, on video, to hide the truth from the public and press Cattoor speaks on a cell phone and to personnel directly on how to “shoot” a horse with a broken leg, “slide him into the trailer and take him to town”.

    The BLM and the Cattoors are currently fighting a maelstrom of lawsuits and complaints regarding their secretive and covert stampedes of our national icon, the wild horse. Two thirds the way through the video report Cattoor shows his true intentions and method of operation to disguise and hide the truth from the world. Caught on video by the New York Times the Cattoor’s put on the true face of their predatory and deceptive business.

    Clear and documented evidence of the BLM/Cattoor’s active conspiracy to subvert the First Amendment rights of the American Public and Press."...
