BLM: TELL THE TRUTH & YOU WON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER THE LIES  photo by SacBee photographer LEZLIE STERLING A white stallion looks over his wild mustang mares on Bureau of Land Management land near Susanville. Dear Readers, Despite the hot weather deaths of this weekend, BLM still plans to round up 6,000 wild horses by summer's end. The BLM said it plans to conduct the summertime "gather" of 2,300 horses and 280 burros from the Twin Peaks area in northern California (home to the small herd in the photo above) to avoid doing it later in the fall, when it would conflict with deer hunting season. Readers, I guess I'm getting suspicious and skeptical because I just bet the reason for this round-up will change before long. BLM will say they're "gathering" for the horses' own good, or range protection, just as the Tuscarora horses were dying of thirst this week. Last week the Tuscarora mustangs were being gathered for knocking down fences. BLM, here's a tip: TELL THE TRUTH AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER THE LIES. Hugs to you with humane hearts, Terri Labels: BLM death statistics, deer hunting, knocking down fences, mustang, Twin Peaks, wild horse deaths Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 7:03 PM 3 comments
