OKAY! SCHOOL-GRADE LIES FROM THE BLM--Really! We were told by management in the DC office that Hot Shots were not to be used any longer. Ale sudden it shows up in contracts! This is BLM Speak Bullshit and many -- many phone calls should be made to all the BLM Offices. Nothing has changed, do not believe them even if they look you in the eye, they are miserable POS, all the employees at BLM -- Trust None! In CONTRACT: "An electric prod, paddle or wild rag may be humanely used to work wild horses and burros during sorting and loading operations. Hot shots shall not be used routinely or excessively on wild horses or burros. Use of hot shots shall be limited to instances of trying to protect or preserve human or animal safety (such as with animals that are down and reluctant to get up on trailers and in chutes) or as a near final resort for animals that refuse to move or load. Hot shots shall only be used as follows: Hotshots shall never be applied to 3 areas: the head (defined as everything above the throatlatch), anus and genitals (this includes the vulva, penis, and scrotum ias well as the anogenital area which includes the anal recess, underside of the tail and the perineum which is the area between the anus and the vulva) A hot shot shall only be used after 3 other stimuli have failed to successfully encourage forward movement (other options include use of body position and movement, use of voice or whistle, use of a wild rag to flag an animal, use of a shaker paddle as a visual and auditory stimulus, tapping animal with flag or shaker paddle, use of plastic tarp or bag, and returning animal to the point of origin and starting over. A hot shot should be used to shock an animal not more than 3 times on any single occasion." PHONE CALLS NEED TO BE MADE!
