Live link: Straight from the Horses Heart

(In My Humble Opinion) by R.T. Fitch ~ author of “Straight from the Horse’s Heart“

“Unfortunately, between the BLM’s high priced publicity agents and attorneys the judge and the public were fed a cock and bull story about how the horses were dying of thirst and had to be “rescued”.  They did not need to be rescued the week before, the month before or whenever but just during the hearing, they were in danger.  (Of course, the BLM had sold off all of the water rights and has allowed private fences to be erected around water sources so that wildlife has no access but what the hay, it’s been like that since 1916).”

People Who Live In Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Stones!

Today Director Bob Abbey, Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), issued a statement which in a nutshell says that the “BLM’s goal is to enable healthy horses and burros to thrive on public lands”.  In the real world I would love to believe those words but the reality of the matter is that the statement is as far from the truth as is the freedom of 38,000 wild horses held in pens with no hope of living out their normal lives.

His statement is inserted in its entirety, below, and instead of going over and rebutting each and every word it is far better to simply state that the BLM has been in the business of using and abusing wild horses for decades.  The spirit of the law no longer applies to Mr. Abbey as is evident in the events of just the last several months.

Abbey, himself, cannot even get his numbers straight with against the latest press release from his own agency.  We have been reporting for the past year that the BLM does not have a clue as to how many horses are located on the public lands yet they continue to hand out grazing permits to private cattle owners so that the horses are so far out numbered that the going ratio is at least 50 to 1 in favor of the cows.
