Blood Legacy of Outgoing Secretary of Interior Dear Readers,Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar ran the Bureau of Land Management for 4 years and stripped the Western range of 35,000 wild horses.One-third of the captive horses were adopted, but at least 1,000 of those went to slaughter.Fewer than 32,000 mustangs remain in the wild, today.
This is your reality : another careless Secretary of the Interior, another 4 years like the last four mean there will be no more mustangs.Please watch and care,TerriLabels: adoption, BLM, Cat Kindsfather, Department of Interior, ghost dancer, horse slaughter, Ken Salazar, mustangs, wild horses Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 11:24 PM 0 comments  
Saturday, January 01, 2011 MUSTANG MEAT IS NOT ON THE TABLE  Palomino Armstrong and HoneyBandit, BLM survivor Dear Readers, It's time to GROW A BACKBONE and let the people who've declared war on horses -- wild and tame -- know that dollar $igns aren't a good enough reason to bring back American horse slaughter factories. The Summit of the Horse will be held in Las Vegas, two days from now. It's sponsored by United Horseman, a pro-horse slaughter group. "We are experienced horse people who have the best interest of the horse at heart and seek unification of our country's horsemen and horsewomen in promoting horse welfare,” said Dave Duquette, group president. “We're speaking with a unified voice for horses and horse people.” The thing is ...no. No, this isn't about horse welfare; it's about Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. No, you do not have the best interests of horses at heart. Betcha a lie detector test would show interest in your bank account, not horses, at heart. (AT HEART? Seriously?) And finally, no, you are not speaking for horses and horse people. In fact, I'm issuing a Victorian "how dare you?" and I bet I have some company in asking HOW DARE YOU say you are speaking for me? Most horse people would do back-flips to avoid a union with you. The ick factor there is nearly as nauseating as UH vice-president Sue Wallis's suggestion. Wallis, a state senator under investigation for fraud & ethics violations, wants U.S. horse flesh (so full of drugs that horse-eating nations won't accept it)fed to school children and the poor. I know thousands of students who'd have something to say about that. If UH wants to kill the school lunch program nationwide, let them fire up a press release celebrating the info that Wyoming kids are being served filet of Flicka. More chilling than UH's boasts is this: BLM DIRECTOR BOB ABBEY is a featured speaker at the pro-slaughter convention. Director Abbey told me face-to-face that slaughter is not a viable option for healthy horses. Does that mean the option is on the table for mistreated foals like HoneyBandit (shown above?) or that Director Abbey's had a change of heart? You pay Director Abbey's salary. Please express you opinion here: Director: Bob Abbey E-mail: Director@BLM.gov (cut & paste or type this into your email form) Chief of Staff: Janet Lin E-mail: janet_lin@blm.gov (cut & paste or type this into your email form) Or use: Director Bob Abbey BLM Washington Office 1849 C Street NW, Rm. 5665 Washington DC 20240 Start the year off as you mean to go on!
