PROOF OF CRIME / Harassment

The Wild & Free-Roaming Horses & Burros Act of 1971

§ 1331. Congressional findings and declaration of policy

Congress finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands.

BLM Above Anti-Cruelty Laws / Update (See Footnote)

Watch here as the BLM Contractor torments an exhausted mare by actually PUSHING her along with the landing ski of the copter and ask yourself, is this type of behavior necessary or was the guy just trying to show off his pilot skills? And aint it un-necessarily cruel? Who in their right might could answer in anything but the afirmative? Why do they get away with it?

Federal Animal Welfare Acts; http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/index.shtml

Looks like the USDA is where to file our complaints....Hello

I have just got off the phone with the USDA APHIS in regards to the Federal Animal Welfare Laws asking if these laws apply to our wild horses and although I spoke to just a secretary,...she told me straight away that these laws do not apply to the wild horses managed by BLM. When I asked her why the HORSE PROTECTION ACT does not apply, she told me because the law was meant (only?) for show horses as the act is intended to protect them against "soreing," the practice of intentionally laming a horse to enhance his gait for show, i.e.; Tennessee Walkers and other "high-stepping" horses are the usual victims of this cruel practice....


HOWEVER, upon a thorough reading of the Act, I find the contrary to be true,...that the Horse Protection Act DOES NOT specifically state the law should be applied to only "show horses," and moreover has provisions to prohibit the TRANSPORT of lamed horses,.....and upon a reading of the law it DOES apply to ANY horse "so lamed",....including our wild ones and heres why: (pertinent parts highlighted in red)

TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE

CHAPTER 44--PROTECTION OF HORSES

Sec. 1822. Congressional statement of findings

The Congress finds and declares that--
(1) the soring of horses is cruel and inhumane;
(2) horses shown or exhibited which are sore, where such
soreness improves the performance of such horse, compete unfairly
with horses which are not sore;
(3) the movement, showing, exhibition, or sale of sore horses in
intrastate commerce adversely affects and burdens interstate and
foreign commerce
;
(4) all horses which are subject to regulation under this
chapter are either in interstate or foreign commerce or
substantially affect such commerce; and
(5) regulation under this chapter by the Secretary is
appropriate to prevent and eliminate burdens upon commerce and to
effectively regulate comm
erce.

TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE

CHAPTER 44--PROTECTION OF HORSES

Sec. 1823. Horse shows and exhibitions


(a) Disqualification of horses

The management of any horse show or horse exhibition shall
disqualify any horse from being shown or exhibited (1) which is sore or
(2) if the management has been notified by a person appointed in
accordance with regulations under subsection (c) of this section or by
the Secretary that the horse is sore.

(b) Prohibited activities

The management of any horse sale or auction shall prohibit the sale
or auction or exhibition for the purpose of sale of any horse (1) which

by the Secretary that the horse is sore.

(c) Appointment of inspectors; manner of inspections

The Secretary shall prescribe by regulation requirements for the
appointment by the management of any horse show, horse exhibition, or
horse sale or auction of persons qualified to detect and diagnose a
horse which is sore or to otherwise inspect horses for the purposes of
enforcing this chapter.
Such requirements shall prohibit the appointment
of persons who, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, have been
disqualified by the Secretary to make such detection, diagnosis, or
inspection. Appointment of a person in accordance with the requirements
prescribed under this subsection shall not be construed as authorizing
such person to conduct inspections in a manner other than that

representative) under subsection (e) of this section.

(d) Recordkeeping and reporting requirements; availability of records

The management of a horse show, horse exhibition, or horse sale or
auction
shall establish and maintain such records, make such reports,
and provide such information as the Secretary may by regulation
reasonably require for the purposes of implementing this chapter or to
determine compliance with this chapter. Upon request of an officer or
employee duly designated by the Secretary, such management shall permit
entry at all reasonable times for the inspection and copying (on or off
the premises) of records required to be maintained under this
subsection.

(e) Inspection by Secretary or duly appointed representative

For purposes of enforcement of this chapter (including any
regulation promulgated under this chapter) the Secretary, or any
representative of the Secretary duly designated by the Secretary, may
inspect any horse show, horse exhibition, or horse sale or auction or
any horse at any such show, exhibition, sale, or auction.
Such an
inspection may only be made upon presenting appropriate credentials.
Each such inspection shall be commenced and completed with reasonable
promptness and shall be conducted within reasonable limits and in a
reasonable manner. An inspection under this subsection shall extend to
all things (including records) bearing on whether the requirements of
this chapter have been complied with.

(Pub. L. 91-540, Sec. 4, Dec. 9, 1970, 84 Stat. 1405; Pub. L. 94-360,
Sec. 5, July 13, 1976, 90 Stat. 916.)


Amendments

1976--Pub. L. 94-360 substituted provisions relating to the
inspection and disqualification of horses participating in horse shows
and exhibitions, the issuance of regulations by the Secretary, and the
maintenance of records by horse show management, for provisions
prohibiting as constituting unlawful acts the exhibition of sored
horses, the transportation in commerce for purposes of exhibition of any
horse that had been sored, and the conducting of any show or exhibition
in which sored horses appear. Provisions now covering such unlawful acts
are set out as section 1824 of this title.


STUDY the USDAs Animal Wefare Act and the Horse Protecton Act, and see if you dont agree that these laws DO apply to the BLM specifically in their gathering and transport processes involving sored and / or lamed wild horses and burros, and if you find the laws apply or SHOULD apply, send your complaints to:

USDA Animal Inspection Services

47oo River Rd.

Riverdale, MD 20737

Thanks.

*This is the law that gives the USDA the authority to inspect horse auctions so dont let them tell you that they dont have jurisdicition when you call up to complain about lame horses you see at these places...

DOC 39: KG Livestock Award / Contract - 9/1/09 Steve Sando

These documents, although indexed as DOC 39, were not provided as the BLM is claiming these docs are exempt from discosure until which time they can consult with the contractor on the release of "pricing" information......

DOC 38: Brand Inspection Certificate


DOC 37: Prework Conference Record / 10/1/09 -

Doc 37 is indicated on the index as a "Pre-Work Conference Record" dated 8/19/2009 compiled by a Ruth Thompson,....but I cant find it in the pile of remaining papers so I figure that I must have scanned in under a different (and erronious) document number....(could be under DOC #32 with a 10/1/2009 "Pre Work Conference Record" by Karne Cook?) I'm sorry, these papers are a mess, not numbered, no indication of how many doc per packet #, etc. They are not making it easy for anyone to make sense of....
anyways, whatever docs they did provide me are ALL posted to this blog now. I am done scanning them all. Now to figure out what is what....

DOC 36: Gather Maps

















DOC 35: BLM Contracting Dairy - 11 Pgs.

I think I have already scanned these docs and mis-filed them under DOCs 29, "Caliente Delivery Documents,"...which is 11 pgs. See DOCS 29 for these docs.

DOC 34: GG,SR,WR, KG Livestock Statement of Work, Invoices & Contracting Documents Pgs. 1-11

These docs, although indexed, were not provided on the grounds that they "may be" exempt from disclosure....Index is marked as " Potential Exempt #4 - Withheld to consult w/ contractor regarding the release of pricing information..."
