ANOTHER CALICO DEATH AT HOLDING FACILITY - Jan 13

ANOTHER CALICO DEATH AT HOLDING FACILITY
The BLM claims another horse died at the brand new "Indian Lakes" Fallon holding facility. All the BLM states is: "One 12-year-old mare from the Black Rock West HMA died at Fallon. She arrived in weak and poor condition and had been at the facility for four days."

Mare Found Dead Over Weekend - Jan 11

Jan 11, 2010: ANOTHER DEATH REPORTED
BLM reports another death has resulted from the Calico roundup. This time a mare (age unknown) was found dead over this past weekend at the Fallon "Indian Lakes" holding facility. The only information provided by the BLM on this latest death follows: "The veterinarian diagnosis is the mare died as the result of dietary feed change." BLM states that bad weather stopped roundup actions on Thu (1/7), Sat-Mon (1/9-1/11).  Sadly, on Tue BLM took 99 horses from their homes on the range and separated them forever from their families. Latest victims include 43 stallions, 34 mares & 21 "weanlings/foals."

Contractor Claims Orphan Foul Not Related To Mare Shot To Death - Jan 10

Sue Cattoor, owner of the roundup company, notified us that the mare who was killed by BLM on Jan 28, 2010 was not related to the orphaned foal shown below. This does not negate the tragedy that the BLM has inflicted on these two individuals. There is no way to verify any of this information due to the lack of transparency of the BLM . This confusion is the direct result of the BLM's refusal to allow daily public observation of all aspects of the gov't roundup operation. BLM is currently limiting public observation of this MILLION-DOLLAR, TAXPAYER-FUNDED operation to 3 out of 7 days a week and further restricts observation to only for 3-4 hours of each 10-hour day.
