ACTION ALERT:

Stop the Cibola-Trigo roundup now re-scheduled to June 6, 2012

"Please read the information below about the Wild Ass (burro, donkey) which is listed as an endangered species “where found” and then contact the BLM and request they refrain from capturing these burros until the IBLA judge has digested the scientific data and made a legal decision.

BLM contact information:

Colorado River District Roxie Trost, District Manager

Yuma Field Office John MacDonald, Field Manager

2555 East Gila Ridge Road

Yuma, AZ 85365

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues at a breakneck pace to leave non-viable herds of wild horses on public lands and while it also considers cutting back on livestock grazing (watch out for drought management plans in your area).

Meanwhile, over and over again, extractive industries and new energy projects seem to go almost unchecked for use of massive amounts of water that adversely impact public lands and risk contamination of aquifers.

Federal Court Forces Interior Department to Consider Scientific Evidence Regarding Wild Horse Management | American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign

Federal Court Forces Interior Department to Consider Scientific Evidence Regarding Wild Horse Management | American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign.

!! WOOHOO !!
“The Honorable U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell stated in her 23-page opinion that the agency

“may not simply remain studiously ignorant of material scientific evidence well known to the agency and brought directly to its attention in timely-filed comments.”

(Emphasis added.) She decisively rejected the BLM’s attempt to exclude the expert declarations from the agency’s decision-making process and affirmed that the Court would consider the “material scientific evidence” contained in the declarations as in future rulings in the case.”

  Tax Dollars at WORK  harrassing horses – Triple B Roundup August 2011

Spin-Doc paid for with tax dollars spurs wild horse advocacy | Protect Mustangs

The BLM made a “documentary‘ that they are ONLY showing to BLM staff – one must wonder why ONLY  the staff can view it?

The BLM made a video that they are only showing to BLM staff!

Makes you wonder what’s in it and if they have used any updated ‘science’ or recent fossil discoveries of the origins of equines?  Or if maybe they have learned more about the dynamics of familial relationships of the wild horse and burro herds?

Also wondering why the public is barred from viewing this ‘documentary’?  If it is truly a ‘documentary’, and not a ‘spin-doc’, then everyone should be allowed to see it, WE have PAID for it!
