Straight from the Horse's Heart 
I really only hope that Sally Jewell will take a stand for the Wild Horses’ freedom. By letting the Wild Horses go back onto the Government Land that had been designated to them through President Richard Nixon.

At least Ms Jewell realizes and admits she’s a public servant, already an improvement over Salazoo. Now let’s see how she does with the public’s wild horses and burros. Many prayers and positive thoughts for a compassionate, intelligent and timely resolution.

BUT there is always hope so we will see, I will be glued watching so glad we can……Hope for the best ??

Right On Arlene! Time will tell (and it won’t take long) to see where she truly stands on the issue of our once “free roaming horses”. We can only hope that she takes the facts and truth to heart …making the right decision for our Mustangs and our Eco-system by releasing them back into the wild.

YES! Thank you, Barbara Warner. Here is what I sent:
Question for Ms. Jewell to answer at the meeting:
What is your explanation regarding the BLM and USFS not following the 1971 Congressional law that states: “The land was to be devoted principally but not exclusively to their [Wild Horses and Wild Burros] welfare in keeping with the multiple-use management concept of public lands.”
Definition of “principally”: First, highest, foremost in importance, rank, worth, or degree, chief, mainly, largely, chiefly, especially, particularly, mostly, primarily, above all, predominantly, in the main, for the most part, first and foremost.

Actually, Congressman Tipton is asking for questions to submit to Sally Jewell on this page…….
“If you could ask Interior Secretary Sally Jewell a question, what would it be? Next Wednesday, Secretary Jewell will be appearing before the House Committee on Natural Resources. I will have the opportunity to ask her questions on issues important to Colorado that fall under Interior’s purview including the Gunnison Sage Grouse, management of federal lands, Blueways, energy development and water rights.” From Congressman Scott Tipton FB page……

Please don’t let the slaughter of our American horses start up. This is so cruel & in humane. Please watch some of the video showing how cruel & what a horrible death it is. Please please don’t let our American horses go to slaughter. There is other options in controlling the herds. Thank you for considering it.

Ms Jewell MUST Realize what is going on at the BLM.. The Butchery, Savagery and Abuse these Beautiful HEALTHY Horses are going through & How completely UN-necessary it is.. No Shade Little water and all so the Gas & Oil and Ranching INDUSTRY can make a few bucks and Pollute this Planet. Especially with the Ranching INDUSTRY’s Cattle OVERGRAZING all of the 2$ an acre land. The Horses and we Taxpayers Pay the cost.. The Horses with their very LIVES! This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!! The Holding Pens must be abolished, slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada and the US must be abolished for these Horses! And the Benighted “Round-Ups” MUST STOP NOW!! I am a Registered Voter and can tthink of NothingBetter than to have Ken Salazar EVICTED from Office.

Nice speech for the bird watchers, the fishermen and the recreationalists but i have heard nothing about the horses. I see she works with the BLM and the ranchers and three oil and bankers, but what about the horses. Have they filed her head full of their bullshit? What about the horses, donkeys, wolves? What about THEM? Not a damned word!!!

I missed Raul Grijalva–had to go water the horses. Grandma Gregg said he asked Sally if she knew the BLM WH& B needed fixing –may not be exact quote. She said yes. We will see and will it be in time ! She was attacked by those for big energy and those for fracking who probably get campaign finance money from them.
