They Went From Spay, To KILL

For the last year, the Bureau of Land Management has been considering experimental field spaying of wild horses.  Advocates, veterinarians, the Humane Society, and anyone with a conscience have been fighting this incredibly dangerous and inhumane plan.

Well the Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board convened two days ago, and decided not to do it.

So we should be celebrating, right?

They replaced it with something WORSE. 
MUCH WORSE.

They're considering mass killing of all the horses THEY have rounded up and put in holding.  45,000 perfectly healthy horses.  Don't get the wrong idea - they aren't going to just shoot them full of drugs, that makes disposal problematic.  They'll either shoot them or send them across the borders to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

Some of whom they removed JUST so they could claim that 'there are no more horses in this Herd Management Area,' and CLOSE IT TO HORSES, so cattlemen can run their destructive cattle on it for just over $2 a pair.  They didn't just round up horses for emergencies, in some cases they manufactured 'emergencies' by denying the horses access to water via turning off water troughs they themselves had installed (but they were turned on for big game animals!), or installing fencing around water holes, which resulted in deaths and excuses for removal.

The only member of the board who voted against this plan was Ginger Kathrens, filmer of the Cloud documentaries, who just this year was elected to the board as the representative of the American public.  The rest are cattlemen, who stand to profit from the destruction of the Mustang.

Really telling, isn't it. :(

If anyone wants to help, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign has been the lead in fighting for our mustangs for years, and are accepting donations for this fight, even if you, like me, have only a little bit of money.  You can also donate to the Cloud Foundation.
