Give 'em a good laugh as they are dying in agony.<br /><br />Sorry, Elyse, but I have HAD it with these heartless criminals - that is only MY opinion, of course dear Debbie. I've traded emails with this one before.<br /><br />Elyse, thank you for pointing me to this vet report. I plan to send it to my Congressionals. Not only were the horses blocked from the "singular" access point, but his assessment of the horses when they were first brought in.

Has anyone else received this letter fro...Hi Elyse:<br />Has anyone else received this letter from the BLM? Geez, even on page 20 of their new handbook it says foaling season is between mid March and June 30...<br /><br />Hope all is well.<br /><br />Please visit the following links to ensure you are getting correct and<br />current information about your concerns. There is a lot of misinformation<br />about the BLM and the gather being posted on blogs, etc. The BLM NV page<br />is the main reference page for all factual BLM updates and future<br />announcements: http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en.html We are not inhumane and<br />feel very passionate about our responsibilities to the public lands and its<br />resources. We are following the laws established by Congress. If you do<br />not agree with the laws, we would recommend you contact your congressman.<br /><br />Please note the EA pointed out the water issues in the Owyhee area and the<br />critical need for gathering horses. The BLM has hauled more than 40,000<br />gallons of water during the past week. The BLM has been coordinating with<br />local ranchers who own the water rights and who are allowing the BLM to use<br />their water/water sources (reservoirs and wells) to provide water to the<br />horses. The ranchers also have opened gates to allow horses access to<br />water. There are no cattle within this immediate area.<br /><br />BLM has not violated the manual on gathering during foaling season. To<br />address the misinterpretation of our long, standing policy of not gathering<br />between March 1 and June 30, I have attached an announcement. Please note<br />the peak foaling season is mid-March thru mid-May; not March 1 thru June 30<br />as it is being interpreted:<br />http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/newsroom/2010/july/NR_07_14_2010.html<br />The recent court action in Reno, Nevada, agreed with this interpretation.<br />We are happy to be a part of an action that is saving foals that would have<br />died on the range under current conditions.<br /><br />BLM is not preventing the public from witnessing the Tuscarora gather. We<br />have not announced public observation days, because we are still on private<br />land. When the lawsuit was filed, the gather was delayed; therefore, the<br />access on public lands was delayed. Now that we are gathering, we plan to<br />post an announcement in the near future to the following link:<br />http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en.html The announcement will instruct the<br />public on how to request attendance at the gather. Until that time, we do<br />not know what the official dates will be for public observation. Two<br />public observation days have been scheduled for July 23-24, 2010.<br /><br />Some members of the public have stated they would rather have BLM leave the<br />horses on the range to die of water dehydration. If you agree with this<br />comment or have other constructive recommendations, please provide your<br />comment to the strategic planning document by August 3, 2010:<br />https://www.blm.gov/epl-front-office/eplanning/planAndProjectSite.do?methodName=renderDefaultPlanOrProjectSite&projectId=4900<br /><br />If you have any problems with the link, please take a look at these options<br />http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/wh_b_information_center/support_for_eplanning.html<br /><br />Thank you for your interest in the program.<br /><br />Debbie Collins<br />BLM National WH&B TeamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618238585190945948.post-12414024038878165022010-07-21T07:56:59.348-07:002010-07-21T07:56:59.348-07:00Elyse thank you for being there with Laura during ...Elyse thank you for being there with Laura during this very difficult time. How scary it must have been.<br /><br />So you and Laura are back in Court today??? I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and will be awaiting George Knapp's interview. He does fantastic work.<br /><br />I can't tell you how disturbing it is to find that we are being denied our first amendment rights in this day. What is wrong with our government that they can do this with no accountability?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
