Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
I got kind of a sick feeling reading that “fact sheet.”
If “without limitation” means what it sounds like it means, euthanasia may not be the worst threat those poor horses face. Please tell me there’s some protection I don’t know about.
The Newsweek article said it best … horses have survived all major threats until now: until the U.S. government, which is charged with protecting – oops, I mean, managing – them, decided to kill them. We don’t even know what “euthanasia” means per government-speak. Are they going to have a veterinarian go out and administer a euthanasia “solution” to each horse and drop it where it stands? Are they going to shoot ’em so they drop where they stand? What are they going to do with all those bodies? Are they going to load ’em up for Mexico or Canada?
I think “without limitation” comes from the Burns amendment. Handy for the BLM to have that law in place, eh? How long have they been planning to kill our horses? I guess they’ve been waiting at least three years for the economy to dip so they can blame it on “rising costs.”
I’ve read that 4 million cattle are grazing on public (BLM) land, even as more and more horses are being rounded up and taken to long-term holding. Where does the BLM mention THAT?
