GREEN RIVER, Wyo. (Nov 16, 2010) — Federal cowboys completed one of the largest wild horse roundups in Wyoming history Saturday, gathering 2,269 horses during the month-long capture operation.
Bureau of Land Management wranglers returned 275 horses to the range.
Officials said nine horses died during roundup operations conducted in the huge Adobe Town and Salt Wells Creek herd management areas in Sweetwater and Carbon counties.
The Adobe Town and Salt Wells herds roam about 2.5 million acres of public, state and private lands. The BLM manages approximately 1.7 million acres within the two herd management units.
There will be approximately 860 wild horses remaining in the herd, BLM officials said Monday, which is the appropriate management level for the herd complex.
Wranglers captured 258 wild horses on Nov. 5, the highest number gathered on any single day.
DISGUSTING: WHAT A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE! This is just horrific and unjustified. What is wrong with our government that they can get away with this? I know that many, many people are fighting this and are calling thier representatives and nothing happens. How can they break the law and get away with it? And how much of taxpayers dollars did they spend on this one? Even one dollar is too much when we have so many people losing thier homes and unable to feed thier families. ONLY 9 horses died!!!!! Even one is one too many.
Dont ya just love Obamas government transparency, i suggest we call 2020-456-1111 and just ask him if his law excludes the BLM, if not then hes got a Defience problem at the BLM……………………doesnt he????????? I think he needs to make a phone call dont you ????
This administration does not care about the horses nor does it care about the wishes of the citizens/tax payers. The round ups have me beyond ticked off. The government only cares about money, special interest groups. Good luck at getting a response from the BLM when you contact them, I have been waiting about 1 year. All in all the horses suffer greatly by the government’s actions.
Call the Presidents comment line daily as many times as possible, tell him no IMPLORE him to Sign an executive order stopping all Wild Mustang round ups immediately !!!!Until the BLM can be investigated for its criminal actions unwarranted against Americas Wild Mustangs and Burros…..Also ask if the BLM is immune d to government transparency !!! and If not Mr. President you have a problem within your Jurisdiction……. It needs your immediate attention………….. 202-456-1111. Also ask everyone you know and they know to call with this question…………………………
It doesn’t seem like he is answering. Pitiful>
I know he turns deaf ear , but these calls are essential , if he gets jammed with calls for the Wild Mustangs ,how can he continue to ignore us……. I feel this is so important to do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Implore him to stop The BLM ………………………..
