Well Being of American Horses is the Order of the Day
John Holland, President of Equine Welfare Alliance, speaks to a packed house at the International Equine Conference
Pro-horse advocates from across North America rode into Las Vegas for an intensive weekend of sharing, learning, strategizing and brainstorming on the future welfare of America’s iconic horses, donkeys and mules at the second annual International Equine Conference hosted by the Equine Welfare Alliance on Saturday.
Noted equine experts in the areas of advocating, veterinarian medicine, legal, legislation and food safety kicked off the the first day of the gathering before a sold out crowd at the UNLV campus.
Advocates and leaders in many equestrian disciplines are combining forces in an effort to thwart special interest special interest groups who have made efforts to slaughter horses for human consumption abroad and to eradicate wild horses and burros from their rightful lands.
“The intent of this conference is to give equine advocates a qualified ‘toolkit'”, said R.T. Fitch, volunteer president of Wild Horse Freedom Federation and co-moderator of the event, “so that groups and individuals can share the facts and the truth on issues involving equine welfare with family, friends, community and local news agencies when they return home.”
“Many great ideas were hatched in last year’s session”, stated Vicki Tobin, VP of Equine Welfare Alliance, “and those same concepts grew to fruition and have made notable strides forward in improving the welfare of horses and burros over the past year.”
“We hope to ramp up the momentum and hatch a few more great strategies during this session”‘ she continued.
The conference will conclude Sunday Evening.

I truly do appreciate every wild horse advocate that’s worked for years to save them. HOWEVER, I really do believe we have to become more aggressive in our tactics. Our wild horses are probably worse off than they were 20years ago……the status quo isn’t working….if that means everyone contributing to the newly formed Super Pacs to save these horses so we can clean out Washington or if it means “human shields” at roundups, we must do it. All this talking is getting nowhere.

Arlene, I don’t have the answer. I would hope that someone a lot smarter than I am can think of a way to do this. RT’s 16,000 letters should have done the trick, but so far nothing. I’m willing to end up arrested over this if it makes people pay attention. Which would be great if we could get about 1,000 human shields and we all went to jail. That oughta bring the national news people out. Was hoping these new SuperPacs could weild some power, but after I heard they were started, haven’t heard anything else and never saw request for contributions. We don’t have the time to do this anymore cause the wild horses are about out of time, but we need a president who’ll go to bat for wild horses. Neither choice we have in Nov. is worth a crap.

These things were never mentioned as part of this conference. I would have come if I thought this was going on as it has been my request that these be done both years. Your PR was not very inspiring. If this was done last year not a word of it reached me.
It is my hope that a Wild Horse Preservation and Strategy conference will be put together for this next year strictly by wild horse advocates. We obviously have a communication problem. Leaving out many of the best thinkers we have who have not got ‘proper’ connections.
This needs to be gone about in a different and more proletariat manner. There is too much prejudice and ego still missing the need to unite and carry through with the weight of the advocacy.
This year I hope to hear something good come out of this for the wild ones. But I have my doubts when the the so called ‘advocacy’ is not well represented and many think they are not needed or welcome. All of us are needed and should be welcome!!
And please stay away from Las Vegas in the future. Try Fort Collins next year and get more science out there talking!!! Or maybe we should have a Wild Horse Conference in Fort Collins this Spring just as Janet Ferguson and I tried to interest folks with in 2010!
I heard nothing from last years conference that was new… please tell us if there is this year!?

We must strategize and come up with a “new plan” that will save these majestic animals, whether they are formerly family members and wild mustangs or we will all live to regret it. And the ones that will lose the most will be future generations in not being able to enjoy and know of these great creatures God once gave us but we failed to save them.

It would be poetic justice or the law of karma for the BLM to be illiminated as an agency for its part in destroying our wild horses since the BLM was formed as a result of the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act. If they do anything other than remove wild horses and burros and maintain a web page with fraudulent and misleading information. They don’t do Environmental Impact Statements, don’t follow NEPA, don’t follow the APA, or the Information Quality Assurance Act. And Congress gives them a break because they just don’t have enough personnel. If they got their personnel to stop bullying horses, they might find that they had all kinds of time.
The elimination of the BLM would shave billions from our federal debt, save the environment, and allow an scientifically educated workforce to be formed that actually could manage our federal lands, water, and natural resources to be put in place at a much lower cost. There is absolutely no excuse for public dollars to be spent on people who don’t even know how to develop a systematic IT program.

Keep in mind that the wife of Romney is a horse person no matter what the MSM has said about the show horse she owns. If he gets in the White House she might be able to do something to stop horse slaughter Obama sure hasn’t do anything. I sent him two years ago a folder full of information along with a CD copied from the films taken at Bouvry and Richelieu slaughter plants in Canada found at: http://defendhorsescanada.org/chambersofcarnage.html
I received no answer at all, I really didn’t expect one I thought I would just give it a try. Obama is so busy trying to make sure he gets back in the Oval Office that nothing else matters. The letters that were delivered to his office were given to a aid or a secretary and it’s a toss up if its ever brought to his attention. I know everyone went to a lot of trouble hoping it would make a difference but from experience I have found out it does not. You will notice too that all of the politicians in DC all went home until after the Nov elections. They are in their own districts putting on their own Town Halls hoping to hang onto their jobs in Washington. The anti-slaughter bills that have lain in committee for months (H.R.2966/S.1176) will never be allowed to come to a vote. These people don’t care what any of us think, we are just taxpayers so we don’t count.

Barbara,
It is stories like yours that led me to start looking hard at this whole situation. For years a did a letter writing unit right after the Christmas holidays and than expanded into a project to write a public official about a problem or an issue of concern to them. It was student driven in that I did not tell them they had to write the President (Clinton-Bush), but to identify the person who would actually influence the decision. But anyway, my 7th and 8th graders almost always got a letter from the President on White House Stationary with the President’s signature (it was likely to have been done by a staffer and the signature way probably a stamp). However, to my knowledge we have not even received that standard:
“Dear Mrs. Smith: I share your concerns about the future of our wild horses and burros. Secretary Ken Salazar and I have discussed your concerns and are working on a plan to assure that our administration will comply with the multi-use public lands doctrine in the Federal Lands Management Policy Act as well as the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act. I will keep your comments in mind as we complete our plan. Sincerely, POTUS”
The final straw for me was his failure to address our fabulous trio from Texas. When I realized what had happened in Libya might interfere, I help my breath, but anyone who can spend two minutes talking with THE PIMP WITH A LIMP on the phone so it can be broadcast nationally to show a certain segment of our population that He is One of Them after R. T. comes back all the way from China—well, that is such an insult.
Every time I here him say that he is our President whether we voted for him or not and that he is going to listen to all Americans, and be a President for all Americans, my stomach fairly seizes. What a bold-faced deceit! I am over him, and also over any hope that he intends to do anything other than slaughter our horses and send them to third world countries where he can rationalize, but these people are starving. There won’t be a darn thing we can do about it.
He has already issued a few executive orders that members of Congress have said may not be legal, so my question is—if it isn’tlegal isn’t it your responsibility to stop him?
The problem is that the media (for heaven only knows why) is too in love with him, to be able to accept the facts about what he is and is not doing. You would think that his First Amerndment Violations would get their attention, but maybe they don’t care about freedom of the press and want to be an instrument of the state.
I used to watch CNN all the time. But after someone sent me a link to the Chicago Climate Council and the Wood Foundation, I realized that CNN had left out some information—not that there was anything wrong with this—but it does shed a light on cap and trade. I am for planting trees and healing our land—but anyway. When I looked at it as someone scheming (not necessarily the President, because he got out of it shortly after the Woods Foundation was sold) to get wealthy from selling air, which is how Al Gore has made a fortune following an Inconvenient Truth—but since his investments have been done thorugh the London Exchange instead of the New York exchange we don’there much about this—you can find it if you look for it, but you have to know to look for it. I wouldn’t have. But anyway, I have been disappointed in CNN. So, I started watching Fox for a time. Everyone who didn’t watch Glen Beck and those who did just hated Glen Beck, but the disturbing thing to me is that he predicted so much of what has happened such as the OWL protest—-things that just sound so fantastical when you hear about them, and then months later, you find there is more than a little truth. At any rate, I managed to hold on to my personal “like” though it has been hard, but I may have even lost that after he gave R. T., Terry, and Jerry, and Congressman Moran such short shrift.
Plus, it always seemed bitterly ironic to me that the President signed the omnibus appropriations bill (not a budget because we haven’thad a budget since he’s been in office) over China. China is one of the countries Charlie Stenholm has said wants to buy our horses. Of course, there is some indication that China is considering adopting the same food safety standards that the EU has, for uniformity purposes, but I don’t know. There are planty of third world countries that are so poor they wouldn’t even think that the US would send them meat that would kill their children, but, unfortunately, it looks there are a few people in decision making positions who would consider such a thing.
I hope I am wrong, and that the reason I am thinking this way is because I have spent too much time trying to think like a BLMer or a lobbyist, and that it has only momentarily twisted my thinking, but only time will tell.

I wanted to add this bit of information I found yesterday it is from the Appropriations Committee Releases for the Fiscal Year 2013 interior-Environment Appropriations Bill.

The legislation does not include a proposal by the President to increase oil/gas fees by $48 million, nor a proposal for new livestock grazing fee. In addition the bill includes several provisions regarding livestock grazing issues within the BLM.

There best chance we are going to have to turn things around for wild horses and burros is going to be on November 6. I have focused primarily on why I believe Governor Romney would be more interested in preserving America’s wild horses and burros than the current administration which has exactly 0.
Up until now, I have thought that the President had no interest in wild horse and burro issues our of deference to Secretary Salazar and Senate President Reid. But after reading a couple of columns written by Hoover Institute Senior Fellow, Thomas Sowell, an economist with a column syndicated in newspapers from New York to California, I think that it is possible that the President has his own reasons for being indifferent to our wild horses and burros.
Mr. Sowell discusses the President’s father and mother’s anti-colonialism. To be brief, this is the theory that some countries like the US have grown powerful by taking land and natural resources from other, less powerful countries. He believes that this wrong, and that the powerful countries must give back to those poor nations and peoples whose natural resources the great powers exploited to become wealthy. How did the United States expland and become the country that it is today?
In lard part, the US was conquered and settled by men using horses. While we see our wild horses as symbols of freedom and the pioneer spirit that we are proud of, the President, if he holds the anti-colonial world view, would see our wild horses and burros of symbols of tyranny that allowed us to conquer not only the Native American people, but the Mexicans, and French settlers also in this country. We see the horse as the way be became great, and the President sees our greatness as something that needs to be destroyed, according to those who believe that the President has been highly influenced by his parents.
I have long accepted that the President probably had a unique experience as a youngster for a number of reasons. It is not easy to be extremely bright and quick. These children are often out on synch with their peers, but then he spent time living in Indonesia and in Kenya, as well as in Hawaii, which is more different from the continental US that most states vary from one to the other when traveling from say Texas to Alabama or Nevada to Washington. I do not know what it would be like for a child in Hawaii to be of mixed race, particularly if one of those races were not Polynesian, but in my experience teaching, the more different kids are from their peer group, usually the rougher than have it unless they have some extraordinary athletic or musical talent.
Just saying that I haven’t been too alarmed about his differences from other Presidents, but I have been very alarmed that he has simply ignored us altogether. I have probably mentioned that my students used to write to the President during the Clnton and Bush letters, and they almost always got a response back. The Presidents in the past have had staffers to do this, but this President can’t give us the time of day. He may very well believe that selling our horses for meat to any country that will eat them is part of the penance that we should pay for becoming powerful.
Debbie Coffey has written about Agenda 21, and though anti-colonialism is not synonomous with Agenda 21, it is compatible with it. The President was Chairman of the Woods Foundation in Chicago that was sold to supply seed money for the Chicago Climate Exchange. The CCE got the idea of cap and trade going in order to make sure that large, industrial nations like the US has to pay for the carbon emissions that industry was putting into atmostphere that was hurting third world farmers through man-made climate change. Vice-President Uncomfortable Truth has made billions in the London Exchange from investing in companies and the regulation of air.
This President said when he was running in 2008 that it would be a good thing when gas prices got to be $5.00 a gallon because he feels that people will not change their driving habits until they can not longer afford their larger, gas guzzling cars. Of course, this hurts rural people who may need a big car, but who will be more limited in finding employment if the gas to drive to work is going to cost almost as much as they will make in a day. This also hurts horse people as John Holland pointed out in the economic facts that are negatively impacting the horse industry.
This election is not about Republicans or Democrats, it is as RT puts it so well, right and wrong. Both parties have their villains and both parties have their heroes. We need to look no further that the faces of Representative Jim Moran (D) Virginia, Representative Ed Whitfield ( R ) Kentucky, Representative Dan Burton ( R ) Indiana, and Senator Mary Landrieu (D) Louisianna. But this Presidential election is not about two parties; it is about two men with two very different visions of what America should be. Horses have played a huge role in making American the great country that it is. Perhaps we need to consider which candicate is most likely to fight for those parts of our history that represent what we want to celebrate and be proud of—that is, if we are interested in seeking a political solution to the problems threatening our horses. We cannot know what either man will do in the future, but we do know what one has done for the past four years.

Representative Whitfield would be a good person to contact. Kentucky has some of the same issues WV (41% of the state voted for a convicted felon in the primary race for Democritic nominee) does with being a source of Appalachian coal. POTUS said that he would shut down Appalachian coal—though the trains are still running East from somewhere—but with Representative Whitfields championing of horses through several measures (I think he sponsored the anti-slaughter law, and the defunding of meat inspectors), he would be a good one to call. However, I don’t know how much Governor Romney would give before the election unless he sees it as a no-brainer. He did have NM Governor Susan Martinez give a major speech in the GOP (I cheered her all the way). Cool.
I saw a link from the Corolla Wild Horse Page to Representative Walter Jones’s page on the Corolla Wild Horse Bill when the bill was moving through the House. Both Mitt Romney and Madeleine Pickens had placed banners on the link. Congressman Jones is not my Representative, but he might know something about how that link appeared. I found it by accident, so I wasn’t sure how to get back to it when I tried to find it again. Maybe I can get in touch with his office, although Representative Whitfield might have a better idea.
I know Romney has had his own team of agricultural advisors and they aren’t any of the usual suspects, but I don’t know much about it.
Thanks, Barbara. We have a plan.

Last year at IEC, I remember that Congressman Whitfield said that although it might not seem logical, sometimes advocates can be more effective working at the local level where it is easier to influence the outcome of politics. What if we called people or wrote people running for county office or visited the campaign sites for the Presidential races and delivered a note or some clippings to accompany a very polite letter expressing our concerns as they relate to each candidate, what is known and unknown, about their stand on the issues. I will not vote for anyone who cannot tell me straight out that he will support a ban on the sale of US horses for slaughter, and if anyone brings up that GAO report, I will be ready for them.
It is interesting that now, a year after that report was issued, that there is now a shortage of good quality trained horses and that people looking for a made horse to compete with, trail ride, etc. are having a very hard time finding one to meet their needs My vet and our barn owner told me that last week, and Jerry Finch said as much in his article on arrancing to get the Big Bend horses. Also there is evidence that slaughter has pretty much wiped out the lower end of the horse market according to one of our major breed associations.

@Hoofhugs, it hasn’t wiped out the horses for sale in Calif, as far as I can find out there are truck loads of horses at auctions all over the state even with a law in place that banned horses being sold for slaughter.

One last word on the conference; If you had 100 people give $500. a piece you would have
$50,000. And if you did not use it for a lawsuit but put it to work in projects that we all can do and work on then we would finally be getting beyond the stumbling blocks of the past few years. That money could do many projects and with informed people carrying them out.
We need better outlets and diverse projects to involve the public and ourselves! We are still too small and narrow working as we have been. We must broaden our reach and our involvement to make changes happen.

Mar, the wild ones and the slaughter issue go hand in hand. Our conference covered both issues. As long as slaughter is still available, you know what the solution will be for the horses in holding – never mind that the EU prohibits all wild equidae meat except for zebra meat. They’ll empty the pens and keep rounding them up until there aren’t any left. There is nothing in the way of a law to protect the non-BLM horses.
We have numerous projects and solutions and many are being implemented for domestic horses. For the wild ones, it doesn’t matter what solution or project there is. The BLM keeps shutting them down so we have two options. Pass something in Congress or sue them to uphold the law on the books. The latter will cost in excess of 100,000. People are tapped out and by the time anyone can raise that amount of money, it will be too late. Spring Mountain Alliance has an excellent proposal for the Cold Creek herd from management to Eco-tourism that will bring the state jobs and funds. The BLM rejected it. They haven’t given up and will keep moving forward with a proposal.
Bruce Wagman that handles the laws suits for RT and several other organizations gave an excellent presentation at our conference and explained the issues we face. We also had presenters that gave excellent presentations on second and third careers for horses that can no longer race or continue in their current careers.
