The Wyoming 37 are just the tip of the iceberg!!! Tis the season for roundups on public and private grazing lands all over the West. The vast majority will go to their deaths unrecognized. Unlike this subterfuge, a BLM employee called ME several days ago to ask if the New Mexico Estray Equine Fund could help find homes for mustangs (unprotected, free-roaming horses) theyre REQUIRED to remove from allotments when they receive complaints. He doesnt want to see them go to slaughter. The NM Livestock Board is REQUIRED to remove them from non-public lands. Many of them dont want to see horses go to slaughter either. THE FUND DOESN’T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY THEM OR A PLACE TO PUT THEM! We’re having a real challenge getting donations for two weve had for a month! The purchase is just the beginning of the expense. Robert Redford and Bill Richardson were in NM when they made some pretty bold statements against slaughter. Now they seem to be MIA. If we want to prove we can deal with a post-SAFE U.S., we dont have the luxury of going missing. The following are posted on the New Mexico Livestock Board website: NOTICE: 13 equine taken up on 3/31/2014: Bay stud, star, wht both hind; Palomino filly, star, strip, partial snip; Bay mare, no wht; Bay filly, no wht; Bay mare, no wht; Black stud, no wht; Bay filly, no wht; Red roan mare, wht face; Bay filly, no wht; Bay mare, star; Bay stud, star, strip, snip, wht both hind; Black mare, no wht; Bay filly, wht right fore, both hind.

Guess where most of them will likely end up. thecloudfoundation.org/news-events-and-media/press-releases/425-no-public-comment-period-no-transparency-no-opportunity-for-horse-rescue-organizations-to-save-horses-from-a-terrible-fate
