Patrick Battuello, Horseracings Wrongs I want to be crystal clear on the change we seek (and perhaps aid in the planning of future “horse racing industry symposiums”). There is no “middle ground” to be had. We are not looking for a mere seat at the table or to […]

Feel Good Sunday: Judge Declares Chimp Has Rights And Must Be Freed From Zoo

By on • ( 11 Comments )

“In this current climate of chaos and lack of moral fortitude it is extremely difficult to stay centered, on point and positive about anything, it seems. Election fatigue and fear for the future of this once great country is beset upon all of us and simply laughing at a story about goofy equine antics just might not be enough to snap us out of this funk on Feel Good Sunday, today. So with that being said, we are going to give you something with a little bit of substance to it, something that you can wrap your heart around and perhaps give you a little bit of hope during this most bizarre and unprecedented time.

This story, below, may not have an equine as the principle actor but it most assuredly speaks to the fact that wild animals (including wild horses and burros) are not ‘things’ that can be used and abused at the twisted and perverted discretion of humans (BLM). The reality of animals having the right to live wild and free in their native environments speaks to the very core of what Americans live and die for…freedom. The time for us to practice what we preach is perhaps lone overdue; let’s make a difference.” ~ R.T.

Most Americans are shocked when they find out that ranchers are allowed to graze their private livestock on our public lands – including deep within protected Wilderness areas – for literally pennies on the dollar.

In fact, the federal public lands grazing program is among the most wasteful, environmentally damaging and economically inefficient uses of our public lands, costing U.S. taxpayer a whopping $120 million annually! When you consider additional direct and indirect costs, it’s estimated that the federal public lands grazing program on just national forests and Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-administered lands may costs as much as $500 million to $1 billion annually – all to provide only 3% of all the beef in the country.

“I know that it is the day AFTER Halloween but yesterday we were ate up with the injustice and corruption of the BLM and roared right by the holiday with out a word; today we will attempt to make it right by sharing one of the better equine ghost stories that we have read. As I type, it is still dark, still Halloween night so all is good with this editorial decision. Please enjoy, and don’t always fear all that goes bump in the night. Be safe.” ~ R.T.
