[quote:Anonymous Coward 1470280:MV8xNTYzMDY3XzI1ODMzMjIyXzFFMzE0RDhE] It costs the federal govt. nearly 70 million dollars to pen and feed nearly 40,000 wild horses. Anyone who wants to know what it's like to train one of these horses is invited to adopt one. The blm will pay you to do it these days. Ever try to give veterinarian attention to a hurt wild horse? You're taking your life in your hands. It's damned dangerous. I have been of the belief that our federal gov't. will some day use these horses to feed US - in camps. (Actually, horse meat is much more healthy for people than beef - it's like emu in protein and lower in fat). [/quote]
Original Message
There is much protest over the roundup of wild horses but
the Bureau of Land Management continues to do this in secrecy. The horses are being sold oversees by the Bureau of Land Management for meat.. and Bureau of Land Management profits.

The Foundation asks Congress to stop the illegal roundup now in order to save these herds from being destroyed.
As soon as The Cloud Foundation realized they had not received the Environmental Assessment, nor had anyone they knew, Oregon wild horse advocate, Kathleen Lewis, contacted Portland Attorney, Geordie Duckler. He quickly filed a request for a temporary restraining order. It was denied by Federal Judge Hernandez and this denial allowed the roundup to begin today.
The Cloud Foundation believes BLM’s actions are a violation of the public trust and they vow to continue to fight for the rights of America’s wild horses and burros to roam freely on their legally designated ranges. They encourage members of the public to contact their U.S senators and representatives and request intervention on behalf of our nation’s wild horses and burros before they are managed into oblivion.
