Calico Update: 477 horses captured. 3 Fatalities
January 9th, 2010 | 
Author: 
On Thursday, January 7, the BLM killed another mare claiming “poor body condition.” What the BLM claims is an “act of mercy” likely involved chasing this elder horse by helicopter for several miles at full gallop speed into the capture pens before determining that she was too old to withstand the transition to a captive life and therefore had to be ”euthanized” her by rifle.
It is unknown if this mare’s condition was documented with video or photos; the condition of the foal and mare who were killed last week were not photo-documented, leaving only the word of the BLM as evidence of what happened to these victims.

To Kathy:
I thought the same; (re: your first post)
I think this should be investigated by Congress;
Thanks for posting; the time is now to stop the BLM !
anna in conn.
I want more petitions to halt, stop completely this BLM wild horse round-up. I don’t understand why this is so impossible! There’s the 1971 Congressional Act, still existing. There’s many Environmentalists on the horses’ side. Let’s get the ball moving, get a leg on this. I’m a very firm believer in MY DREAMS coming true! What is the hold up on stopping this insanity? Have you emailed Paul Newman? He was the most charitable giver of 2008-9! (chat with Robin, she will help) xxx’s to horses’ soft noses!
I thought it was ‘out-lawed’ , illegal, considered ‘cruelty to animals’ to shot a horse with a gun! Please advise!
