YOU Bought the Bullet 
From the Bureau of Land Mangement, here's the short story of a very short life: Wednesday/Aug. 17 Summary: The BLM gathered 25 horses today. The BLM shipped 34 horses to Gunnison. Animals gathered: 25 (5 studs, 13 mares, 7 foals) Gather related animal deaths: 1 Cause: A stud and four-month old foal/filly broke away from a group going into the gather trap. The stud jumped an adjacent barrier fence and ran away. The foal tried repeatedly to jump the fence but could not, and received multiple severe lacerations and had to be euthanized. The foal's mother was captured with the group. Do you live in the U.S.? YOU paid the helicopter pilot who terrorized this May-born filly into the trap. YOU paid for the the fence she couldn't jump, following her sire to freedom. And, when BLM decreed she was too badly hurt to live, YOU bought the bullet that ended her 16th week of life.
