Listen to the archived show (HERE!)
Four major wild horse and burro advocacy groups and advocates are uniting to speak out against Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans for cruel sterilization experiments on wild mares (including pregnant mares). The BLM extended the Environmental Assessment comment deadline until Feb. 10th, because American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC) asked for and received additional documents that the BLM had not made available to the public. AWHPC then requested additional time to review these documents. (Information is given below so that after listening to this show, you can add YOUR comment to save the wild mares from these barbaric experiments.)
Our guests for this show include:
Suzanne Roy, Campaign Director, American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC)
Paula Todd King, Communications Director, The Cloud Foundation (Ginger Kathrens is in the Pryors, but she’ll try to call in)
Best-selling author Terri Farley (Wild at Heart: Mustangs and the Young People Fighting to Save Them)
Karen Sussman, Pres. of International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros (ISPMB)
Don Moore, DVM
Carol Walker, Dir. of Field Documentation for Wild Horse Freedom Federation
BLM’s heinous plans are to STERILIZE wild horses, including “studies” (experimentation trials) using several methods on 225 wild mares: ovariectomy via colpotomy, tubal ligation, and hysteroscopically-guided laser ablation of the oviduct papilla. The BLM is going to do this experimentation at BLM’s Wild Horse Corral Facility in Hines, Oregon, but will eventually do sterilizations out in the FIELD.

What is wrong with these morons using animals for their experiments? They’re heartless & cruel.I can’t think. Of enough rotten. Things to. Say about the low lives. Go back under the. Rock you crawled out from under & leave these majestic horses alone!
STOP this outlandish act of cruelty on our wild horses. You have no right. Your actions will cause the loss of one or our national treasures. Spay our wild horses is not the answer. This is our American Treasure and you have no right to thrust you ideals upon them. Remove your plan and allow our national treasures (our wild horses) to roam free and guarded by us their American People. BLM your wrong.
What the hell is wrong with the BLM. Leave these magnificent horses alone, who gives them the right to do this and why do they have to use such barbaric methods to get the job done? And on PREGNANT mares!!! Maybe we should experiment on these men and or women who are so quick to inflict their misery on theses helpless horses. Assholes!!
There is only ONE GOD……YOU, BLM, ARE NOT HE!!!!! Who are you to make these decisions!!! Stop your insane nonsense NOW and leave these beautiful, peaceful loving, horses ALONE! SET THEM FREE!!!!
Carol–Where is your post with all of the particulars on the OR sterilization experiment? I’m in an email discussion with the dean of the OSU veterinary college and need the facts that were there. HELP please!
Carol–Just found the link to it on this page, but when I go to your blog, I can’t find it there anymore.
Carol–Just found the link to it on this page, but when I go to your blog directly, without using a link, I can’t find it there anymore.
Seriously God never intended for humans to destroy his work. The heritage of the wild horse made our nation. Wild horses gave this nation a backbone and endurance to achieve dreams and the very freedoms we take for granted. Shame on those who think they are doing good,what you are doing is pleasing a political agenda and the almighty dollar of government spending. Stop this insanity before you ruin generations of heritage.
