DOI Magic Trick: SEE LIVING LEGENDS VANISH BEFORE YOUR EYES!



BLM Description of BLM photo: Wild horses released back into the Skedaddle area of Twin Peaks

Dear Readers,
This exercise in wild horse math sounds like a contradtion. If you add up how many mustangs and burros have been captured or died, the result will be beauty you will never have the chance to see. Even those that survive will be shipped away from their wild homes forever.
BLM said "suitable" horses would be freed, but so far only a few have met BLM's secret requirements. You'll see a BLM photo of some equines freed on Day 8 of this endless round-up. Notice anything interesting about these "horses" ?
Read and sigh for mourn those we've lost,
Terri

Comments: If this is true.. what is their point in lying? They will and have been found out . What do they hope to acomplish by doing this?

  Well, now it's plain that they want to get rid of all the mustangs...releasing mules? Really? If they only release mules, and continue to round up the mustangs, the wild horses will be gone in a startlingly short time....

...What I want to know is why the burro died in the trailer.....because of the heat? Because he slipped in the trailer? Because...why? Bad on their part for not noticing him until he arrived at the temporary holding facility...

And also, how did the stallion break its leg, exactly, and how was it able to walk/run to the capture site with that injury, if it was not gather-related, as they said?...they didn't gather horses that day, which seems to mean either a) the stallion did have a broken leg already and they didn't find him till just now (BAD on their part) or b) he injured himself in the corral, in which case they should have listed that as gather-related...(also BAD on their part).

I seem to notice that there are much more non-gather-related deaths than ones that are gather-related...or so they say...I wonder if, theoretically, when you went out and were able to look over all of the mustangs still free, if you would find as many with injuries as they seem to make out there to be...because, theoretically, wouldn't there be about the same proportion out on the range that were injured as there were of the ones that were gathered?...unless, of course, the injuries were gather-related, after all.

  I was going to say they all had very long ears for mustangs ... (the better to hear you by) but your title on the photo proved my eyes were seeing correctly.
