Dear Readers,
Sometimes what's NOT said is as important as what is said.
"The National Horse and Burro Rangeland Management Coalition," for instance, sounds like it might help wild horses and wild burros.
No way.
Ann Novak of Protect Mustangs says it best. "Notice how they avoid using the word 'wild?' We have heard they appear to be lobbying to get all the wild horses & burros in holding to be classified as non-wild."
Coalition members are listed below. I've seen many of them in court, offering legal a$$istance to BLM.
- American Farm Bureau Federation
- Masters of Foxhounds Association
- Mule Deer Foundation
- National Association of Conservation Districts
- National Cattlemen’s Beef Association
- National Rifle Association
- National Wildlife Refuge Association
- Public Lands Council
- Public Lands Foundation
- Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
- Safari Club International
- Society for Range Management
- The Wildlife Society
I've known what the BLM is since the 70's, yet I read some horse blogs and they portray the BLM as a great group the cares about the horses and burros. Nothing could be further from the truth.
