Great, Louie! I had to “play” with the submission box for a while to figure it out… All comments for the horses were wonderful!

Excellent letter. I received a reply from my Senator Richard Lugar. It was intelligent and he seems pretty well informed on the subject. I think I may be able to “educate” him.

He also said he thinks that Congress needs to act on the situation.

Keep your fingers crossed!

If you use Firefox there is an add on called Lazarus that will retain what you posted and will paste it back in the web form if for some reason it gets “lost.”

This thing has been EXTREMELY helpful for me!

The best response I can give to that sack of manure by Sec. Salazar is to encourage everyone to donate all they can to In Defense of Animals to pursue this matter in court. We are not going to live long enough to convert all the wild horse haters! The time for arguments with the BLM is really past. It is a futile effort, at best. To educate the uneducated general public is very important – to discuss the whole matter with the DOI/BLM further should only be done now in court! While we are engaged in arguing, Salazar and his BLM buddies would be transporting the wild horses and burros to Extinction Acres in the East. Every argument he has raised is ridiculous in light of the REAL issue, which is, you people are not now and have not been obeying the 1971 law, which is, in the eyes of the citizens of this country, JOB ONE for our federal government. I just read “BLM’s Final Solution for the Wild Horses and Burros” on the Animal Law Coalition web site last night – twice. What a sickening document that is! My conclusion is that our wild horses and burros are in the hands of people with criminal intent and sick minds. I don’t think arguing with any of them further is useful! This really is a matter that should have been in court years ago! Forcing the application of the federal law we have should be our main focus – and one, I am sure, Salazar hopes to distract us from pursuing. “Making Room for America’s Wild Horses Requires Balance” is an incorrect title – the correct title should be “Making Room for America’s Wild Horses Requires
Enforcement of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act”.

makes me mad – twice madeline pickens offered to take the horses the blm is holding – offered 100 million to take them to land she owns – they turned her down so what is salazar saying he wants private citzens involved in saving horses – that is bs when he turned down a beneafactor that could affod to take them and protect them -
