I am, perhaps, guilty of over-working the phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words” but this concept most certainly applies, as of late, to the unnecessary suffering and pain that is being rained down upon our, supposedly, federally protected wild horses by the Obama administration’s BLM. Long before the start of the stampede Laura Leigh was out on the Antelope Complex looking for horses, of which there were not many, and photographed those that she could find. Today, she has uploaded a very poignant slide show which displays the horses as they were before the roar of helicopter blades and what happens to them after the BLM’s contractor illegally removes them from our public land.
It’s been a rough week for the horses and a difficult time for those who witness the carnage. Laura needs your help and you can visit those needs at
Grass Roots Horse, good folks trying to get a grip on what is happening, on the ground, to the last of our national icons.
