Even though BLM’s Juan Palma caved in to illegal threats made by the Iron County Commissioners for wild horse roundups by private citizens and told them he’d have a plan for removal in place by Friday, the Iron County Commissioners (with support from Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower) broke off their meeting with the BLM and plan their illegal activities to commence on this Thursday. Iron County Commissioner David Miller claims “we have to get those horses off the range immediately.” Once again, private (livestock) interests are treating PUBLIC LANDS like their own PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Please write to the BLM and ask them to post Federal Marshalls around the HMAs to stop this illegal activity (thank you Janet Schultz for demanding this action from the BLM), and to remove livestock immediately from the same area, since there is not enough water and forage for the wild horses. jpalma@blm.gov and jguilfoy@blm.gov
