Straight from the Horse's Heart
I could watch only a portion of this as it is so very heinous and so unlike any behavior that we would even come close to doing with our equines.
And, I cannot say how very dissapoining the new administration has been. But this takes the cake. 2012 here I come. Leadership that is bought and paid for by big business read the cattle industry is not my choice.

I am afraid that the wild ones will not be around in 2012. We need this “animal friendly”administration to live up to Obama’s campaign promises, NOW!!
And I, for one, will not rest until he does. I am tired of elected officials lying to us.

They all have been blowing smoke up our asses. I’m sickened by what they have allowed to be done to theses innocent horses. The cattleman be in pockets of congress and who ever else controls the votes in this country. Some votes where bought and payed for by special interests like the cattleman Association and others like them. I’m a shamed to by an American just for this very reason that we as a species can do this to another and get away with it.

There seems to be such a wide spread apathy among too many people. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone say “there’s nothing we can do about it.” I can’t imagine looking back one day and the wild horses are gone. I don’t live in the States, but the heartbreak carries across borders. I really hope you manage to save them. What can we do against big business? And right now, politics is concerned with Egypt or your health reform. Seems everything is about money. For most people.

Jen, Your last statement that it’s about money for most people is inaccurate. There are only a few who act like that. Those few also seem to be above the law. I would have to say about 80% of the people here want this stopped but we are ignored. It’s shameful that our own government stands back while this is going on pretending it’s not happening. The horses and burros they swore to protect are fast becoming an endangered species. There are not enough left in the wild now to regenerate the genetics. This in itself will kill off every last one within a few more years. Thanks to Laura Liegh and several others, the video and pics taken have at least managed to find their way to main stream media. We will win this fight but the question is if we will soon enough to save the genetic lines. Personally, I am ashamed of my own government officials. With any luck two of our senators working on this problem will be able to persuade congress to put an end to these round ups and release the 48,000+ in holding, back into the wild where they belong.

website for Nevada OSHA, has e-mail link for reporting..attach all the videos showing the individuals on the ground in proximaty to the helicopter such as the horse that was pushed thru the jute at the trap site, so it not only endangers the pilot but also the ground crew who are not suppose to be within 60 feet of the helicopter in the trap..we see that all the time..remember most of these hoses are around 15 hands or smaller as in the case of foals..15 hands is 60 †when that helcopter touches that animal or its skids are obsucured by that animal…that is how far it is off the ground..that puts it into perspective for the investigator looking at the picture or video

I am a member of the Bad River Band of Ojibwe Indians. As a Native of this land of our I am disappointed in my President and all of Washington in general. The horses have been family to Native Americans since the beginning. For these souls to be treated this way is to dishonor my heritage and the heritage of a most beautiful creature. My grandfathers tell me we will win this fight. As for those who continue to torture and kill these beautiful horses someday you will die with dishonor and you will have to explain to my ancestors why you commited such crimes against what in the long run belonged to them. Horses are loving and have family groups, what would happen if this was happening to your family. Maybe you should talk to the Indians for they were the first Holocaust survivors and Mr. Obama, what about your ancestors, they were forced into slavery and slaughtered too. How can you let this happen to innocent free and doing absolutely nothing but being horses. Just leave them alone or face the consequences down the line. Why not show these videos to your children and explain to them why you have lied and continue to support BLM. Birds of a feather, I guess. LEAVE MY PEOPLES HORSES ALONE

Michelle, a few years ago I saw a documentary about Indians. The Chief made peace with the soldiers and many lives were saved. His son was sent to the Army camp for a while and the General asked what gift could he send the Chief for saving all those lives. When the boy returned he said my father will take a horse. The General could not send such a great man such a “puny gift”. It illustrated the symbolism of how the different culture’s felt about horses. Some things never change.
