“This story first crossed our desk late last week in the form of a very graphic report (CLICK HERE) and we have been monitoring the situation, since. Law enforcement is involved and the chief concern is the feeding of the horses as prosecution of the perpetrator and final disposition of the equines will seek it’s own level and be determined later. We will update you on the means in which to aide in keeping the horses alive but in the meantime, let the buyer beware of sending money to an individual that leads a non-profit down this dark abyss of abuse and neglect, it is despicable.” ~ R.T.

Here is what they are NOT telling the public in the below news article…
The USFS discontinued all funding for long term holding for wild horses and burros a few years ago. During the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Management Advisory Board meeting in 2015 and again on April 14, 2016, Barry Imler, Forest Service Rangeland Management Specialist provided the USFS “new” flow chart for wild horses captured on USFS lands. The chart shows that all captured wild horses not returned to public lands or young ones not adopted after 3 attempts and all wild horses over the age of ten will be euthanized or sold without limitation (KB). They will not be going to any long term holding. I quote, USFS Modoc Forest Supervisor, Kimberly H Anderson, “Disposition of older animals will be as stated above, consistent with law regulations and policy. This may include, but would not be limited to, turning them back out to the range, adoption, placement in long-term facilities, or euthanization.” “Should animals be euthanized, the manner of euthanasia would be in the most humane manner possible. In a field setting, they may be euthanized through the use of firearms or drugs…”
