Went down to Carson City to talk to the demonstrators Saturday. They are trying to protect the wild horses. The Nevada dept of agriculture is rounding them up and auctioning them off to the "kill buyers" who take them to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Why? Because the developers have encroached on the land that the horses have occupied. The residents like the horses and they take them food and pet them. A few of the horses wander into the neighborhoods. The horses think it's still "their" land.

So the horses are arrested on suspicion of trespassing and give a death penalty. Does the punishment fit the crime????

The demonstrators are a dedicated group who have raised money or used their own fund to buy the horses and find places that they can live and graze. Because they have been doing this for so long the market has become saturated with horses so it becomes harder and harder to find homes for them. If they don't find fenced in grazing land for the horses then they are stuck with feeding them.

It's a big problem. These horses are from just south of Reno.

I asked about the Indian tribes helping out. I was told that they are not interested and they have often sold off their own horses to the "kill buyers."

On BLM land when they move horses they are always gelded so the herds are doomed even though most of the BLM people do care about the horses. The same cannot be said about the Dept of Agriculture people. who kiss the butts of the developers and big ranchers. Rather than requiring new developments to put up fences they would prefer to just kill off the problem horses. Which means all the wild horses that fall under their jurisdiction.

 

Goodmorning all,


I hope you have a Super Blessed Sunday!


I'm off to work at Top Gun Raceway again today, so just a guick hello this morning. I'll check back after work.

Good morning...is it state fair time in your neck of the woods?

 

I'm lucky my wife wont read this stuff , howdy Bruce & Dave

 

Hi Tim,

for the first time in 136 years, as of 2011, Nevada's state fair is not being held due to budget considerations.

 

Good afternoon everyone. So far it has been six weeks (I think) without a cigarette. Been a bit busy up here. Having trouble getting one of the rims off the hub on my motorhome. Dang rust.

 

Congrats on going 6 weeks without a smoke, Jeff! That's a hell of an accomplishment. Keep it up.

 

Way to go with the non smoking Jeff! Congratulations. You should be over the hump by now. I know when I quit I had to decide not to smoke every day for about a hundred days and by then, I just quit thinking about it, Good job amigo!
