Mustanging is still in existence and the majority of the American public don’t know that it is. The BLM does so much to cover this up that they had to create their own so-called “Myths and Facts” page on their website. They assert that the slaughter of wild horses is a myth, but there are too many things that refute their claims. This is a government that is supposed to be “By the People, For the People”, and it’s about time that they start taking us seriously when we say we will not condone the slaughter of OUR wild horses and burros.

The BLM’s internet adoptions are supposed to be just that … “ADOPTIONS” … where new adopters are required to have good homes for our wild ones and although we know that not all DO end up with good homes … at least the risks for the animals are reduced a little because they are sold for ~$125 each and BLM is supposed to check up on the animals.
These 3-Strikes horses and burros are sold for next to nothing and nobody will ever see them again … they are being advertised online as if they were a “blue light special”. Call & email BLM and ask them why they are SELLING our horses online and is it legal to do so on a website that is advertised as “adoption” and what kind of guarantee they can give you that the WH&B won’t be on the slaughter block the next day after they are sold. Let BLM know we are watching every move they make and WE DO NOT APPROVE OF ANY OF IT.

GG, I find this as onerous as anyone, but due to amendments to the original law, it IS legal. Seems to me we need to pressure Congress and our state legislators to remove the amendment allowing this sort of backdoor bargaining. If it was illegal (as was the original intent of the law) then the BLM would have to cease these activities or be held accountable in ways they aren’t now.
LikeLike
Thank you Icy, but as with most readers of this blog, I am completely aware that selling our wild ones is deemed “legal” – that is not the point. The point is that the average wild horse and burros sales in 2009-2011 were 735 WH&B each year but since the Davis fiasco was made public (i.e. the BLM’s easy disposal method), the average WH&B sales have dropped to only 70 per year in 2013 and 2014 so they are now using the clearance rack method of getting rid of our wild ones – and many will be very “questionable” buyers. This gives us no accountability and definitely no protection for our wild ones.
LikeLike
GG, I think the legality IS the point, as there can be no constructive dialogue or change unless and until the laws are changed. The ongoing poor to nonexistent accountability of the current situation provides a new definition of “transparency” which will not (and cannot) change from within.

This is precisely what I anticipated when I first saw the dubious en masse adoptions with the ugly mug shots. We can’t count on Congress to solve this. Congress can’t pass pay raises for themselves right now. Our two options are Justice Courts – an injunction citing irreparable harm being done to wild horses & burros thru these en masse fire sales based on bogus 3 strikes claims.
The second is the court of public opinion. To win there, we need some visual evidence of ‘lambs to slaughter’. Not easy to get, but very effective if & when we do.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get some -or at least paper trails ? Maybe a damning interview w. a leaker ?

re: Scott City BLM holding facility wild horse deaths
(my request to BLM):
Ms. Collins,
Please provide me with an update of the Scott City, Kansas wild horse situation.
I understand that preliminary necropsy reports are generally available within 48 hours and final reports are available between 15-45 days.
Have the necropsy reports been completed for the Scott City wild horse deaths last summer?
When will the necropsy reports be available to the public?
What is the total death count?
How many horses were examined, i.e. underwent the necropsy procedure?
What facility did the necropsies?
What were the findings of the necropsy reports?
What procedures were activated to prevent further and future occurrences of wild horse deaths at the Scott City facility?
What is the current health status of the horses remaining at Scott City?
(response from BLM):
Until I have the final report that will be posted online, I do not have the info you requested. However, we will not be reporting any necropsy results. I would have to check to see if those are available or if you will need to request them through a FOIA. I’ll get back to you and let you know for sure. Thank you.

The problem lies with having more animals in custody than you can find homes for by taking EVERYTHING off the range in a roundup with a mane and a tail.
‘Gate gathers’ have created nearly insurmountable issues with the captive part of the Program; taking infants and old people makes NO sense whatsoever. But the Program no longer uses any form of logic or restraint, just the “Take ’em all, let God sort ’em out” mentality.
The BLM has slithered into a major livestock auction and feedlot sales business, sporting that slick smile, spewing the corporate message that this is GOOD for wild horses and burros.
Sadly, the people GG listed as contacts have eaten this garbage for so long, they no longer question its source – if they ever did.

I have said this several times in the past few years I do not believe there is 50,000 Mustangs in BLM holding facilities. The only ones left are possibly 20,000 left in the pens scattered around the country making it impossible to really get a head count because no one knows for sure where they are being kept. Some are kept for show to trot out for the public to take a tour to prove the horses are in good condition. But the rest of them have went to slaughter I have a good idea. For one thing can anyone really say all of them were freeze branded? Did anyone see it done? What may be pushing the BLM to sell the horses they are offering is because of the of the EU stopping US horses from going to Mexico to be killed. Jan 15, 12015 was the last day any US horses can be killed in a Mexican plant. Canada is on the list too I have a good idea. Because when the EU does pull the plug on Canada the BLM won’t have any place to take them so they are trying to unload them as fast as they can. There are at least two slaughter plants in Canada that have stopped taking horses and are only slaughtering cattle. If someone could have followed the trucks
after some of the gathers you might be surprised where they went they may have headed for either Mexico or Canada.

I know this is singing to the choir, but BLM’s Internet adoption events are a joke. The ‘three strikes’ program was never intended to include Internet-based adoption events, which are by their very nature, doomed to fail. The market for these horses and burros are people who are scattered all over America, so the animals need to be taken to adoption centers all over America to be exposed to their potential adoptors. Very few people are going to bid on/buy/adopt a wild horse that they can’t see first, and then pay to have it transported hundres or thousands of miles.
Even Fleet of Angels’ transporters- who offer discounts to at-risk equines, have to at least charge for fuel, so transports of any distance add up to a significant expense. And, to make it even more expensive to transport these wild ones, they have to be hauled loose (not lead or tied), making it much harder to find rides for them. Typical show horse haulers often have an open slot or two, but not a whole empty section of their trailer for these untamed horses- and that’s not even considering the difficulting of finding haulers who are willing to deal with all the associated complications of transporting wild horses for long distances like loading and unloading, overnighting, possible damage to trailers, etc.
The purpose of Internet adoptions is clearly not to get more horses and burros into homes. The purpose of Internet adoptions is to get more horses and burros into BLMS’s sale authority category so they can be disposed of without any formality, rules, or oversight. Internet adoptions should be held for those few who do get placed through them, but those ‘shams’ of an ‘event’ should not ever count in the ‘three strikes and you’re out!’ program.

From US OBSERVER
By Curt Chancler
Investigative Reporter
http://www.usobserver.com/archive/sept-10/blm-land-management-or-is-it-law-enforcement.html
After four months of looking at the facts and the people involved in an incident that took place on 2-20-2010, at a remote camping area in southern Oregon, I am convinced there is a clear and present danger to the camping public and their families when they enter public lands.
This clear and present danger comes in the form of out of control public servants that took an oath to protect and serve the very people they are victimizing.
From the beginning of our investigation on this story, it became apparent very quickly that BLM at both the county and state levels are out of touch and out of control. BLM is an unconstitutional administrative agency that possesses no constitutional police powers or authority to enforce any laws on anyone, yet they do so
The public’s outcry regarding this type of BLM corruption and abuse of power has been muffled from coast to coast because it is only being reported on by small local newspapers and web sites. The so called main stream media has ignored BLM’s attacks on miners, hunters, and the camping public for years, and these abuses generally go unreported, unless the US~Observer is involved.
