"The government is acting in defiance of the spirit
              and intent of the 1971 Free Roaming Wild Horses
              and Burros Act (1971 Act) which Congress passed
              unanimously —Julianne French, wild horse advocate.





Horseback Magazine Headline “EWA and The Cloud Foundation Demand Obama Stop BLM Wild Horse Roundups - As Dignitaries and Groups Sign On”

“It is time for President Obama to step forward and pull the plug on one of his own government divisions (BLM) which continually violates the intent of Federal Law, ignores the orders of individual Congressmen and Senators while thumbing it's nose at the wishes of the American public.  It is obvious that the BLM is out of control when it ignores it's own scientific findings, cannot verify it's counting/accounting processes, nor find a creditable answer when asked why the gathers are proceeding when the same agency wanted to euthanize tens of thousands of captured horses, last year, because they could not afford to feed them.

 

As an American my blood ran cold when I asked a BLM official, during the Pryor Mountain Gather, "Why are you doing this?"; a rude smile appeared on the individuals lips, the head tilted downward so that I could see the gleam of dark eyes over the top of sunglasses and the words, "Because we can!" reached my ears like the hiss of a snake.

It's time to bring this agency under control.

      Editorial Opinion: Why I Have To Support The Moratorium




“These horses are connected to this land; their ancestors roamed
unfettered on it over a million years ago. They represent the basic
principal that our nation was founded on: FREEDOM. These animals
are the physical embodiment of all that we as people and as a nation
aspire to… liberty and self-determination. And at some level that
resonates with each and every one of us. With every BLM round up
that is allowed to happen, our heritage is under siege.”
                                      ~ Mariana Tosca, Actor and Social Activist

   “We ask that President Obama or Secretary Salazar cease
     all BLM roundups as of this date to prevent further suffering.
     We request that the government and BLM begin to work in
     good faith with wild horse advocates for a sustainable solution.
     The Calico Roundup, scheduled to begin in December and
     continue through the dead of winter, is inhumane and must be
     stopped!” —Sheryl Crow

            “We already have enough wild horses in pens. Adding more horses
            to those already held in confinement, when they are much safer
            on the range is shortsighted, inhumane and fiscally irresponsible.”
