WILD HORSE HUB CENTRAL

I received a letter from Senator Mark Pryor, Democrat, Arkansas. I posted this letter on the Facebook page for WHHC. I also posted my response and have the email from Senator Pryor and my response in my files. Since this is concerning more than just politics, I also sent a copy, with Senator J. Boozman's name added to the response letter. (Senator John Boozman, Republican, Arkansas).

I appreciated their responses, most of the time a form letter can be sent out. I try to send emails that have to be responded to without form, but with answers and commitments to do a better job - accordingly - as we all try to do.

I am not anti-government. I love this country. I just want us to try to do better with what we have been given. For wild horses and burros, this is essentially the part where we can have a more hands off method with holistic herd management and holistic land management rather than forcing the changes that a species can not bare and survive. We have to insist that our government stop managing these wild horses and burros to extinction.

I purposed a suggestion to remove all the wild horses from the holding facilities, no matter where they are, that have been collected (and preferably sold - if that would be possible - just another idea that just popped into my thoughts); and return them to the public lands. I suggested that there are states, such as my own, which does not have one single wild horse in it - yet "The Natural" state has acres and acres of forest and grazing for these wild horses and burros. It would be a game changer for every state. I also suggested that the care of these wild horses and burros be taken from BLM because of their blatant falsifying federal document, falsifying federal statements, and inadequate ability to do the job of caring for these wild horses and burros without spending money that is not necessary. I suggested that the money that BLM uses for these wild horses and burros be turned over the the advocates and rescue groups so they can hire personnel that can do the job of transporting these horses from these facilities to other states that are willing to have a wild horse population; and, support the advocates and rescue sites in the states that they are transported to. I truly hope this works. It's my best attempt yet to solve the holding facilities horrid conditions and the costs that are accruing to keep these wild horses. I suggested that the Veterinarians Against Horse Slaughter be contacted; and that veterinarians be hired or volunteer services as to the population control so as not to sterilize the mares permanently; and the castration of all stallions seems to be another management tool to destroy the existence of the wild horses and burros. I suggested R.T. Fitch and Anne Novak. I also gave information regarding the indigenous status of the wild horses, which was researched by several groups; one of which works for the BLM. (see posts on WILD HORSE HUB CENTRAL).
As this is seemingly a personal journal, I am hoping that I can keep track of myself. I can only try to do my best. In a moment, the horse that depended upon me to stop the slaughter, has died.
