Death in a Remote Area  photo by Mark Terrell Dear Readers, I was going back over BLM's daily notes on the Twin Peaks round-up to compare what I saw on August 16th with what they reported and I read the account below. Sunday, August 15 Summary: Fifth day at this trap site yielded fewer horses. Animals gathered: 37 Animals shipped: 2 Gather related animal deaths: 0 Cause: none Non-gather related animal deaths: 1 Cause: With BLM concurrence, an older stud with preexisting injury to knees was euthanized in remote non-gather site by contractor pilot. With BLM concurrence -- so BLM agreed this execution by a Cattoor pilot was fine An older stud with preexisting injury to knees -- how did the pilot know this was a preexisting injury? From the air, how did he know it wasn't a stone bruise changing the horse's gait? How did he even know the horse was a stallion? in remote non-gather site -- so what was he doing there? If it wasn't a gather site? Was the horse shot from the air? There are just too many questions here. These horses do not belong to BLM or the Cattoor family. They belong to you and me. If you can witness a round-up, please do. The horses need you, Terri Labels: BLM, Cattoor pilot, Twin Peaks round up Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 7:26 PM 10 comments
