  2. Carol will surely have a lot to say about this (by my calculations this is just under a 6% fatality rate for the checkerboard removals – including Sabrina’s foal in the Rock Springs holding facility, which still has not produced a published cause of death to my knowledge).

    For comparison’s sake, this would be the equivalent of professional management leading to the death of around 18,000 Elk in Colorado, within a few months.

    Death Toll Mounts from BLM Wild Horse Roundup

    Newly Obtained Records Reveal At Least 75 Mustangs Died in Holding Pens after Capture from Wyoming Checkerboard

    Rock Springs, Wyoming … (April 14, 2015) . . . Over 75 wild horses captured in Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Fall 2014 “Wyoming Checkerboard roundup” died in the days and months immediately following their capture, adding significantly to the official death toll from this capture operation conducted in the Adobe Town, Salt Wells Creek and Divide Basin Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in southwestern Wyoming.
    …
    The records obtained under FOIA clearly show:

    22 horses died in the holding pens as a result of traumatic injury, including broken necks, spinal and pelvis injuries, fatal leg damage sustained during the helicopter stampede; and another 7 horses died due to lameness.
    12 stallions died from complications due to gelding, including hemorrhaging to death.
    11 horses died from strangles, a highly contagious respiratory infected which can become rampant in holding facilities.
