Colorado photographer Carol Walker attended the BLM’s National Wild Horse and Burro Program Advisory Board meeting June 15 in Sacramento. Follow this link to read her blog post about her take on the meeting and the statement she made during public comments: http://wildhoofbeats.blogspot.com/
I’m so discouraged by this information, I just don’t even know what to say about it. We can fight irrational nonsense with science and experience and common sense, but this is … irrational nonsense! That our government would engage in such discussions – in secret – may not be surprising (and how awful is that), but it just defies everything Americans have said we want for our wild horses – their well-being and freedom. Surely we owe them that.

TJ –
I actually watched and listened to the Board meeting by way of live web-cam streamed out through the efforts of “Horse Power Nevada” (nvhorsepower.org). I missed the morning session, but watched 3+ hours after the lunch break. I made it a point to take notes and stayed on-line to hear every person’s comments during the “public comment period.” It was disheartening to say the least… I’ll e-mail you later…
