Also, Call the BLM and let them know by telephone; DO BOTH!
1 800- 710- 7597

Please also call SANDRA CHEREB, the Associated Press reporter who is
covering the story. She is not new to the issues. She can be reached
through the AP office number at 1-800-710-7597

Please also contact your Congressional Representatives and Senators
to express your outrage....and to ask for emergency Congressional
Hearings to be called in the matter of the BLMs mismanagment of our
wild horses and their plan for the immediate extermination of 33,000
of them. We need them to take action NOW!

Here is a link where you can find out who your representatives &
senators are, if you dont know, and I believe you can contact them

Also I would like to remind you that Rep. Nick Rahall (D.WVa) has
championed the cause of the wild horses in the past. Here is a link
where you can contact him and ask for help for the horses; tell him
to support emergency congressional hearings to be held NOW!

Keep Up with the Latest Developments through the
American Herds Blog, where they even have a link to a streaming live
video where you can watch Mondays Meeting of the Wild Horse & Burro
Advisory Committee LIVE and listen as they give the death sentence to
these 33,000 wild horses

http://www.americanherds.blogspot.com/

Also, I AM THINKING, why cant some of the Big-Whig Wild Horse Mother Orgs and/ or the Humane Society or the Animal Welfare Institute or even Peta or some other MILLION DOLLAR MOTHER ORG ....have one of their slew of lawyers file an administrative appeal against the findings of the Government Accountabilty Office's Report? This is the report that gives the green light to the BLm to go ahead with their killing plan. I dont think it would be to hard to prove the findings of the report are arbitrary and caprious and that the determinations therein were rendered as an abuse of their power & discretion. The GAO's Report reported that the BLMs accounting methods are inadequate and unreliable, so how can they base any "rational" or reasonable decision on said admitted LACK of reliable information? Where are all our big-whig animal rights / animal welfare / wild horse.org lawyers? There are grounds for appeal of the GAO Report and an appeal might give the 33,000 thousand American Wild Horses a temporary reprive from the death sentence the BLm and the GAO have given them. I dont want to sound too much like Ralph Nader bemoaning the death of democracy in America today, and crying out for help, but I will repeat the question he put forth to his constituants in a lecture he gave on a college campus last fall; In the midst of all the "political chananigins," and "dirty dealings," against the American People (and, of course, now, the horses) "Where are all the lawyers?"

If you care about the lives of these horses, and the future of Americas Wild Horses in general, please Call all these National News publications tomorrow and let them know whats going on and that America is OUTRAGED at the notion of our government sending 33,000 of our wild horses to slaughter FOR NO GOOD OR VALID OR REAL REASON. Tell them you know its all about special interest, exploitation & and greed.

The lives of 33,000 American Wild Horses depends on us.

Gov't Plans to Kill 33,000 Wild Horses Looks Like a Go

Wild Horses in Danger from the BLMYour Help is Needed NOW to Save Them!

Dear Wild Horse Supporters,

It is regrettable that the recently released Government Accounting Office's report failed to hold the BLM accountable for rounding up some 30,000 more horses than could be adopted over the past eight years. The GAO looked only at the train wreck and not the reasons
that the train left the tracks in the first place. As you know, the BLM has proposed killing the horses in long-term holding to remedy their self-made budget crisis. We cannot allow this to happen and I am concerned that we don't have much time to stop them from carrying
through with this despicable plan. These horses belong to us, the American public, and they should be returned to the wild, not killed by the thousands.

As I write this, the BLM is rounding up over 400 healthy horses to be removed from the Cedar Mountain Herd in Utah. It is likely that only a handful of theses horses will be adopted and the rest will end up in long-term holding where they are in danger of being killed.

Please act now to save America's wild horses, here are some things you can do: Contact your local papers, radio stations and national media outlets.

Contact both your Senators and your Representative: call
202-224-3121 or visit www.congress.org for contact information.

Contact President-Elect Obama at change.gov to ask that he take immediate action to protect our wild horses. We must also make sure that any BLM budget increases do not go to funding increased round-ups and the killing of horses.

"CC" your comments to BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board.
E-mail them to BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board Attn: Ramona
DeLorme, or write 1340 Financial Blvd, Reno, NV 89502, phone number
(775) 861-6583.

Click here to read my comments to the BLM Advisory Board and please do all that you can now to stop BLM from killing our wild horses.
