While the BLM continues to round up America’s wild horses and burros decimating their herds, the rogue US federal agency plans to join partner HSUS in celebrating the experimental, pesticidal birth control method the mega animal welfarist group has long been promising would eliminate the cruel and needless gathers.
On the symposium website it states the conference will feature “a series of invited presentations and panels consisting of researchers, government representatives, and private citizens who are testing and applying contraceptives for the management of wild horses and burros”.
Wow, not just scientists and bureaucrats, but private citizens are being allowed to experiment on America’s iconic wild equines. And just how, when, where and with what are these private citizens doing this?
Read about it below.
PRESS RELEASE

I’ll be donating to the groups that fight this. The public lands and the wild horses (and burros) belong to the tax payers of the USA. They do not belong to BLM/Pacelle etc. I love it when they say, ” Well then –pay for them !” We DO pay for them–we are being scalped–we pay for them over and over again–and then these agencies thumb their noses at us–and drive the horses over the cliff.

Wayne Pacelle took over HSUS in 2004. That is when all the changes began (for better or worse depending on one’s perspective) to HSUS and their current brand of outreach.
And now Michael Vick wants a dog now his three year ban is over. He wants them for his kids (shudder). http://www.bet.com/news/celebrities/2012/07/19/michael-vick-says-he-wants-to-own-a-dog.html
Vick was not just involved in dog fighting, he took active “hands on” part in brutally destroying dogs used for fighting in some of the most horrific ways imaginable. For more on this see “The Indictment of Wayne Pacelle” at http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?p=6510
Sorry for making this comment so long and taking what it appears to be off top. However, Pacelle and HSUS are very active in the horse slaughter and wild horse & burros issues.
Excerpt from the link above:
Calling Michael Vick a dog fighter does not paint the picture adequately or accurately. Michael Vick took a dog and hung him by the neck “by placing a nylon cord over a 2 x 4 that was nailed to two trees located next to the big shed.” When the dog didn’t die, Vick put on the pair of overalls he wore when he did not want to get blood from the dogs on his expensive tailored suits, and drowned the dog in a 5 gallon bucket of water. He took a second dog that would not die from hanging and tossed the dog to the side, later hanging him again, this time until he did die. Even when some of his co-conspirators wanted to give away dogs who would not fight rather than kill them, Vick refused, stating “they got to go,” meaning the dogs needed to be killed. Vick beat dogs to death. He watched dogs drown in his swimming pool, he shot them, he electrocuted them, he buried them alive, he savagely abused them, he took great enjoyment in it, and he found it funny to watch family pets being torn apart.

Number one !!! First and foremost, Wild Mustangs belong to the Land and THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!! Wild Mustangs were declared by Congress unanimously in 1971 to be free and given 25 million acres to roam FREE on , Again I say any deviation from that explicit Declaration, is UNLAWFUL, and should be punishable by LAW>>>>> no one has the right to change that Declaration, Nature has given to the Mustangs every tool of survival that they need, when they need more Nature again will give to them what they need , they survive in conditions that defy the imagination, what part of that does not anyone not understand, they are here for the land with a reason purpose so complex maybe not your average GREEDY self serving person ts able to grasp…………… The BLM is appointed to PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE WILD MUSTANGS, PAID by the AMERICA TAXPAYER, they ARE NOT doing their JOB , THEY NEED to be Addressed by the LAW REMOVED and SENTENCED FOR THEIR CONTINUED CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST THE WILD MUSTANGS …………………………………. BLM has stated on several occasion they are immune to the LAW, this is a American Agency , where is it Lawfully stated that the BLM are immune to the Laws of AMERICA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>…….

This is all a very maximium intervention approach that has many unforseen and long term deleterious effects. Some celebration?! They should be investigating Reserve Design and ways of reducing livestock on the public lands so that the wild horses and burros can realize their legitimate and ecologically benign place!
