Wild Horses: Has the BLM come to its senses about spaying wild mares and sterilizing 2 herds in WY?

Wild horses: Good News/Bad News – No spaying this time, but the herds will be sterilized
June 22, 2011Wild Horses: Comments Due June 20 on Great Divide Basin Roundup – will it be another sterilized herd?
Great Divide Basin Band
Comments are Due this coming Monday June 20 on the EA for the Great Divide Basin Herd in Wyoming.
The BLM is planning to remove 1225 wild horses from the herd area, which is 778,000 acres. The BLM’s estimate of 1640 horses on the range is not a direct count – the direct count of wild horses on the range was conducted in April 2010 where they counted 1004 horses.
Your comments are even more essential this time because just like in the Environmental Assessment for the White Mountain and Little Colorado Herds, there is again that sinister Alternative D: “Remove All Animals and manage for a non reproductive herd returning gelded and spayed wild horses to Lower Limit of AML range.”
We want Alternative C: No roundup or Removal.
I am very concerned that the new Wyoming BLM plan is now to choose Alternative D in all future EAs and create sterile, non-reproducing herds in all the herd areas in Wyoming and then this will be continued across the country until we have no more wild horses on public lands.

So now we are sterilizing our mustang herds huh? Might as well send out the military with assault rifles to eliminate them BLM! They will be extinct within 20 years at this rate! Greed, and money seems to make it all worth it huh?! How much tax payer dollars are going toward the senseless removal of our one true icon of American freedom? Much more than WE THE PEOPLE are willing to allow! That’s how much! In the pursuit of the Almighty Dollar, you are decimating our children’s heritage and you MUST BE STOPPED and held accountable for your actions! This is war! Make no mistake that we do NOT condone your brutal behavior BLM! You will be stopped!
Alternative D needs to be removed from their list of option for good.
Absolutely!
This is just another form of genocide, now isn’t it boys? While your sterilizing all of our horse’s why don’t you cut off your own, so that you may never produce again and if you have children go and sterilize them too because theres way too many people on this planet…and we may as well start with the idiots in gov’t first. I can’t figure you people out…why do you think you have the entitlement or right to do as you wish to animals that don’t belong to you. Your time will come and be afraid when it does, you may think this is all fun and games but when the Creator comes down on your ass for screwing with his creations, you will be afraid. It’s all subtle too, maybe someone gets a terminal painful illness and then something else horrific happens. My Grandfather’s will never forget what your fore fathers did to them and payback…well you know the rest. All of you have it coming and will get it too. These horses are protected under the Constitution and that means their private parts too. You have to go to jail all of you, including my President for not upholding the Constitution as he promised he would. Horse people will come together and there will be sure a roar like you’ve never heard before…prepare to fight because we are.
Here, here!
This is about betrayal. This is about betrayal of the American People, AND our Mustangs and Burros. This is about Fracking, Strip Mining and about our Govt, betraying it’s own people… It’s about money, foreign companies, and countries… It’s about the few getting rich, at the expense of all others.. All others, being the people, and our public lands and of course our Wildlife.. and the American Icon… This is about “WE THE PEOPLE” have spoken, and the “employees, that are not listening” We need to fire our employees and take back our country.. We pay your salaries… no not the ones, that you get behind the scene, but the one you pay taxes on.. WE THE PEOPLE, this is our country, our Public Lands, our Mustangs and Burros. This is about money and power. When is it not!
