FEED RECALL West Coast
A manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall of horse feed that was distributed in California, Nevada and Oregon because it may contain a medication that can be fatal to horses if fed at high levels.
Missouri-based MANNA PRO PRODUCTS announced Friday it is voluntarily recalling FAMILY FARM COMPLETE HORSE 10 HORSE FEED, LOT NUMBER 1006 because it may contain potentially harmful levels of the medication MONENSIN SODIUM, or RUMENSIN.
The feed was distributed January 11 through January 21 to retailers in these three states. No illnesses or deaths have been reported and retailers have removed it from their stores, but the company says customers who purchased the product should STOP FEEDING IT IMMEDIATELY.

(b) The reason given for said non-disclosure is stated for these documents as such;
"Withheld to Consult with Contractor regarding the release of pricing information"
(c) Plaintiff respectfully submits that these document packets are being wrongfully withheld as they are the kind of documents kept during the course of regular BLM business and Plaintiff further submits that even the pricing information on these government contracts is disclosable under the U.S. FOIA laws.
(d) Plaintiff suspects that the documents being withheld "hold the secret" to the whereabouts of many of the un-accounted for horses that were loaded onto trucks but have no records of being delivered anywhere. Plaintiff suspects that alot of these horses are being sold outright to the contractors who are also in the rodeo / bucking horse breeding business.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court deny Defendants Motion to Dissmiss my Complaint and that an Order be issued compelling them to release the withheld documents, or in the alternative, to more fully defend their reasons for so withholding.
Respectfully submitted,

Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Complaint and Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendants to Provide a Vaughn Index
I will be working on this document over the next couple of days. Its in regards to the FOIA request I sent to BLM in attempt to find out what happened to the 680 wild horses removed from the Seaman, Golden Gate, White River and Caliente Herds in the summer and fall of 2009.
Some of you had volunteered to help review the volumous (but useless) documents they have provided to me by way of answer, and I thank those of you who have given feedback on them already. If you are one of the reviewers who have not given your input yet, now would be the time to do it, and I would appreciate it if you would. You know who you are, and that I value your opinions.....Val & Cindy this means you!
