(The News as We See It) by R.T. Fitch
Today, a Federal judge will become fully aware and engaged in the fact that the Bureau of Land Management and their contractor Cattoor Livestock totally ignored the conditions of his order regarding the deadly Owyhee wild horse roundup.  Plaintiff Laura Leigh was denied access to the trap site but did manage to gather valuable information and evidence to prove that the BLM lied in their defense, last week, on many different levels and, as usual, the agency is acting above and outside of the law.
This entire mess begs the question, is any higher authority paying attention?  Here, again, we have a corrupt and dysfunctional government agency that considers congress, the senate, federal judges and the American people to be nothing more than small irritants that can be brushed aside while it breaks the law on a very grand scale.  Who is protecting this group, is it their big boss, cattleman Ken Salazar who everyone wants a piece of these days?  And who is looking out for Salazar and why is he still in office now that he has proven he cannot manage his own business and control his own agencies?  Would that be the President?  Why is Salazar so highly protected?  Why does the Obama administration hold onto such an obvious loser?  Why has the alleged “animal friendly” administration never, ever responded to the destruction of our wild herds?  Why?
The questions are many, the answers are few but one thing is for certain; Ms. Laura Leigh, American Citizen, will be in front of a Federal Judge today and it won’t be a good Monday for the BLM.  Some positive action in the way of controlling this rogue organization may help to bring back some confidence in our country’s future.
Otherwise, we and the horses are doomed.
