Beginning of the end, of Nevada wild horse roundups!

Could this be the long awaited, beginning of the end, for BLM and their contracted Catoor roundups?

54 lawmakers come together and sign a letter to Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, asking him to halt the wild horse roundups in Nevada, due to the careless way they are chasing them with helicopters in hot weather, causing high numbers of deaths and injuries! They ask for a moratorium and call for the National Academy of Sciences to investigate the situation on the range.

Here is the link to the Channel Four news report and video. My friend, author and wild horse advocate Terri Farley, is briefly interviewed. Advocates are thrilled about this and it looks very good seeing this action by lawmakers!

Owyhee Mares and foals.

Just wanted to share some images of the Owyhee mares and foals we observed after they were rounded up by the BLM.
These are the first images taken of these horses!

Tuscarora mustangs, blocked from water by mazes of fencing! New report from horsetalk.

This wild horse image is one of my photographs, and they are Nevada mustangs, but not from the Tuscarora HMA.

So sorry, I have no idea why links are not coming up BLUE!!!!
This is a new blog for me, in the embryonic stage.
Please be patient with me! Trying to figure out why and fix.

Hello!!! Please enjoy this slide show of Calico Horse images. These are all my photos except for the one of me kissing a favorite
filly. That one is by Val Dutter, of Carson City, Nevada. Use requires permissions. Please just enjoy and share it here on my blog.
This video was arranged by fantartsy/ jj, on flickr.com. She loves wild horses also, and asked to help bring awareness to them, by making a nice slider with my images. I like her arrangement and love her choice of music for this too! Thanks
Joyce!

LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Leigh verses Salazar..... Laura Leigh and Elyse Gardner seen in front of Federal Court House, after the hearing.
Eylse is a retired court reporter, and back at it on this day. I sat next to her as she recorded testimony with rapid expertise on her lap top. Laura and Elyse make quite a team working for America's mustangs and burros. A force to reckon with I tell you!
Judge Hicks granted Leigh observation, honoring the first amendment rights.

Unfortunately, Judge Hicks did not grant the TRO that Leigh fought for. The roundups are to continue as planned. The judge bought the BLM's story, that these horses will suffer up to a 70 per cent mortality rate within one week, if not removed from the range! BLM stated they delivered water out on the range for the horses, but that they would not drink it, preferring to stay close to their water hole that was drying up.

All we know, is that there were no dead horses until the BLM upset their wild nature, and ran then feverishly in over 90 degree temperatures with a loud and menacing helicopter, terrifying and exhausting them, relentlessly chasing them for miles. Brain swelling and other ailments afflicted these horses after being at the trap site and suffering from water intoxication. Seven died on the first day of operations! I believe the death tool is now at 12.
