If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely.
If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly.
If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently.
And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly.
BLM is handing out fat contracts 2 livestock companies 2 take care of wild horses & burros for $2-4/day/horse. At the same they’re doing this, they’re ⬆️ roundups & charging ranchers < a nickel a day to graze their livestock & losing millions every year on the grazing program.
BLM and US Forest Service personnel cater to commercial interests even though they lose millions of dollars of taxpayer money every year in the process and millions more in terms of ecosystem harm and destruction.
Wyoming's wild horses: Treasured mustangs photographed by @caroljwalker have been targeted by @BLMNational. How many? 50% of all your #horses#Wyoming. Is that okay with you? #Wildhorses
It comes as no surprise that inscrutable trainers have filed a lawsuit challenging the Horseracing Integrity Act, stating that the industry can regulate itself just fine (given the hundreds of horses who die each year, clearly it cannot).
Horse Racing is an industry, not a sport. Horses are terribly abused, thousands have died. Learn more about the recently-passed Horse Racing Integrity Act- What it Does, What Changes, What Stays the Same https://t.co/7hTq3NJmWA

4 broken necks, 3 killed for colic, and 2 killed for broken legs so far but they say this is safe for the horses. No idea how much livestock is there because I can’t find an Environmental Assessment.

Starting today, the @GrandCanyonNPS will turn into a shooting gallery.
For the first time in its 102-year history, the Grand Canyon will be open for the trophy hunting of bison.
Will you join our fight to call on @SecDebHaaland to STOP this slaughter?

Thank you to these lawmakers. The bill to end horse slaughter has been introduced in the Senate by Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act.
This PBS film released today spotlights the work of Roch Hart who has developed a wild horse hub to eliminate wild horse roundups. AEA has been able to follow along these past few years to learn about and write about the work.
