Update by R.T. Fitch ~ volunteer president/co-founder of the Wild Horse Freedom Federation
BLM is prepared to flip-off the Court
Special Message from Ginger Kathrens of the Cloud Foundation
The BLM has blasted back at the stay order filed by our coalition of concerned wild horse organizations in an unprecedented timely fashion that speaks to premeditated planning and strategic anticipation on the part of the rogue federal agency. Within only one business day from the stay filing the BLM fired back a massive legal assault which included a new EA which probably took weeks to fabricate if not months. And that is not the only covert operation the wild horse destroying agency is running. Under the guise of “helping” the West Douglas herd by placing water troughs in the area they are actually training and leading the horses to a water bait/trap location while shutting down public access to the area so that their subversive tactics cannot be documented. It is time to act.
If the BLM is successful in pulling off this phony “emergency roundup” while circumventing the legal action we have taken against them then they will use this ploy on every single last herd of wild horses on our western public lands until their longtime private special interest grazing stakeholders are happy to rape the last of your rightful public property, then devoid of the wild horses and burros that were protected residents as enacted by a unanimous vote of Congress.
We need your help! You don’t hear this from me often but it is coming through loud and clear right now. Litigation takes money and we most certainly could use an infusion of funds, yesterday. Unlike some alleged wild horse advocates who prey upon your emotions to donate and then spend your hard earned cash for personal living expenses and other non-horse related affairs our plaintiffs and Wild Horse Freedom Federation are 501(c)3 federally registered non-profits that are totally transparent and assure you that your hard earned dollars will go to pay our outstanding professional and critically acclaimed animal law attorneys for their many hours toil in an effort to defend our national icons. Transparency is everything and our highly respected orgs bring that to the table for your confidence and reassurance.
Any donation to the Cloud Foundation, Front Range Equine Rescue and the Wild Horse Freedom Federation will be directly applied to our legal fight to save this very special Colorado Wild Horse herd. Just leave a note for “West Douglas” and that’s where the money is going to go. No smoke and mirrors, this is the real deal.
We are not publicly disclosing our next legal move but to review the BLM’s premeditated counterattack against us and the West Douglas herd please click (HERE) and ensure that your mouth is free of any liquid or food stuffs so as to avoid aspirating same.
Your donation to any of the orgs above is tax deductible and greatly appreciated by not only the volunteers of the groups who donate their time and money but by the very horses that we are attempting to save.

This is just another example of how out of control our government is. Illegal immigration amnesty, government controlled health care and government actions contributing to the death of American citizens covered up, all of this within days. Our American way of life is being taken away from us and we need to stand up now. Every little step we take hopefully will lead to getting our freedom back and getting back the freedom for our federally protected wild horses and burros is just the first step, small as it may seem, we must start somewhere.

Despite the fact that the highest court in the country has shown they too suffer from politics, we must do our best to win in court against the BLM to show them that the courts decision does matter and they cannot continue to ignore it. We can get the info we need and present it to the courts that will show them just how far off the BLM is in their duties to protect our wild horses and burros. The BLM is not taking their role as protectors of the wild ones seriously and if they don’t want to then they should let another agency take over before all the federally protected wild ones are no longer.This is something that must be done in the courts since the BLM is not listening to the public who has raisen up against the BLM policies. Too bad we have to waste not only advocates money but also our own tax dollars to make this BLM do their job. Sad state showing just how bad this government is these days.

I thought my tax dollar was being used to manage the horses where they live–as an integral part of the environment–what happened to that? BLM–I am not paying you to remove the horses–you’ve got it wrong! Use my taxes the American way– take care of them on their range lands –use contraception,remove domestic livestock,haul in hay/water.

This is so despicable and dishonest and down right malicious against the wild horses in the wild on the part of BLM officials with Secretary of Interior Salazar cracking the whip. This West Douglas herd elimination must be stopped. We are fighting for the soul of America that the free-living wild horses embody! So glad this legal case is going ahead! And I would like to say beware of frauds who are asking for a lot of money and making a lot of claims about being without money all in the name of helping the wild horses, but using inordinate amounts of this money on maintaining unhealthy even addictive lifestyles (cigarettes and coffee — too much!) and lying about how much money they actually have!

What I don’t get is this…BLM has been out to destroy this herd now for three years that I know of. Why? The first time the Judge told them they had no basis (or words to that effect I think), the second time–it was I told you NO last year and it’s still NO. (still words to that effect I believe)
And now here we are again. Why can’t we some kind of injunction that says BLM NO means NO. We aren’t going to revisit this NO matter how to try to phrase it, come up with drought conditions (when by the way there are still sheep grazing out there ruining all the vegetation).
How about some kind of change of land deal thing. Where this range is for the horses–like the Pryors–although with that stupid fence the Pryors are losing that horse range for themselves and no one else.

So – once again thanks Louie – Does the “closed to all mechanized vehicles” include the BLM’s helicopters trucks etc????? No of course not. I know – that all goes without saying – but I HAD to say it!
Sent my donation to Front RAnge yesterday – Just figured they could use it anywhere – since they had to move horses from both pastures to get away from the fire. Would be really great if the judicial system would really work in the horses favor.

Maggie, the document says that the closure even includes people on foot or horseback. Pull up this link and you will see a lot of projects in that district…OIL and COAL and PIPELINES there. You will see Shell and Chevron, to name a few, Take a look:

BLM stated and published in a recent EA comment response, the congressional LAW DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THEM. Per BLM’s attitude and actions and these words, the law is only to protect the WH&B from the public (you and me) and has NOTHING to do with THEM!
EA Comment to BLM:
The Stone Cabin/Saulsbury Complex EA violates the WFRHBA. BLM policy to capture and remove wild horses is contrary to the Act which requires protection from capture, branding, harassment or death.
BLM response to comment:
“The portion of the Act cited by the commenter IS NOT PERTINENT to the overall management of the wild horse and burro populations by the BLM and USFS. In general, it protects the wild horses and burros from such actions by the general populous.”
http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/medialib/blm/nv/field_
Please excuse me for repeating myself, but when someone tells me that the law is to keep ME in line but that “THEY” do not have to follow the same law then it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up like a wild cat being threatened and then to top it off the BLM proves their arrogant words with their illegal actions.
I just returned from visiting our WH&B and I can tell you that destruction is what they have planned and what they are successfully doing.

That was certainly an eye-opener! Thanks Louie. One of the “projects” was fencing an allotment!
The BLM fences them off for the cattlemen??? Or is this one special.
AND why the h**** would the horses need to be protected from US? The government needs to put their foot on the BLM’s neck! Or put their foot somewhere, anyhow.
Altho, the BLM is doing what our government WANTS them to do – clear the way for oil,gas,uranium,
and the blessed pipelines.
