The Magic of Federally Perpetrated Propaganda and Blatant Lies
There was a time, not long ago, when the Department of Interior’s (DoI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would slip in a few false numbers and bad mathematical equations when publicly discussing the last remaining wild horses and burros on western public lands. But now the federal propaganda machine has turned up the volume and enlisted the help of their bed-fellows, cattlemen, to such an extent that anyone with an education beyond that of the third grade can tell that they are out and out lying.
For the last several years the enemies of America’s national icons have loosely stated that there are between 30,000 to 40,000 wild equines roaming upon their rightful land on 10 western states. (These numbers have never been verified but all leading indicators point to more like 20,000ish are still free.) And the number held unnaturally imprisoned has always hovered around 50,000 give or take a couple of thou. All of this bad math has remained constant while the renegade agency has consistently ripped an average of 12,000 wild ones a year from their federally protected homes. “Duhhhhh, do the math, boys!”
AND if left on their own the wild ones will double in herd size every four years; WHAT?
You do know that they are stoking the fires behind the scenes to actually kill our wild horses, on sight, and sell the prisoners of their concentration camps to slaughter, don’t you? That is why they have hand picked an advisory board that is made up of 50%+ openly pro-slaughter mouth pieces with the bulk of the remaining members being pro-cattle and hunting special interest representatives.
We, Wild Horse Freedom Federation, exposed in a FOIAed internal BLM documentthat high ranking BLM officials have and currently are discussing killing wild horses on the range; well now they have their special interest buddies doing the same in public media.
One Thomas Mitchell wrote an editorial in the Ely Daily news that the wild, or in his uneducated opinion (feral), horse population is going to explode, overnight, to 69,000 (where the heck did that number come from) and that killing them is a viable option. In what galaxy does that make sense?
He referenced our exposed document, without naming us of course, and included that the AP had said paperwork, yes…from us, but then rambles on about the deadly sage grouse and all of the damage herds of crazed wild equines will wreck upon his much coveted and loved Nevada. Give me a break.
The only common ground that we share with this BLM puppet is that contraception can be a viable option of on range management IF and only IF it is done correctly and used only where needed…on viable herds, not the decimated majority of herds that the BLM has run into ruin by attacking them with helicopters at about every opportunity or when the mood so moves them.
Let’s get this right, folks; you know that the BLM is lying when their lips are moving. Not only do they fudge the numbers but also it has been verified by the National Academy of Sciences that was hired BY the BLM to look at their broken Wild Horse and Burro program. Did they, the BLM, pay heed to what the NAS said in their report and get their act together, hell no. They just plod on under the direction of their semi-covert buddies and plot to wipe our wild equines off from the face of the planet.
Public beware; there is a Wild Horse and Burro apocalypse coming and it is closer than you may imagine. The BLM has been creating a false emergency of loading up all of their short and long term holding facilities so that they can look to their big brother government and shrug their shoulders and say, “Day gots ta go!”, and the killing shall begin.
We need to ensure that our natural, four legged resource is protected for years to come and to do that we must expose the BLM for being the corrupt and mismanaged that the agency really is.
The evidence is there, in black and white, all we need to do is spread the news and shine the light…it really is just that easy.
The BLM cannot be left to their own corrupt devices and be allowed to manage our wild equines into extinction. That cannot happen, it must not happen and we, meaning you and me (us), are the only hope that the horses have for salvation.
Let us not let them down!!!
