ACTION ALERT - please continue to call for Cloud's herd & the others

 

 

 

PLEASE FORWARD AND TAKE ACTION FOR THE HORSES

(if you can do only one thing - please make at least one call - see below for White House Advisers - the president's comment line is hard to get to.)

 

forwarded messages:

notes from the field:

 

they released cloud and his family first... minus Image and Arrow and Rain!!

 

They are releasing Dancer with a different band.

 

Ember is being "Removed"

 

They are Removing" Cloud's two 1/2 brothers and also the dun mare Cloud used to have.

 

Additional info:

 

BLM is telling people who call them that all 70 horses will be adopted and to check the BLM website. NOT TRUE!!

But if people take the time to find the section applicable, it makes it

very clear that “sale-eligible horses†(over 10) will be sold. What they expect & hope t

hat people assume is that these horses will be sold to caring people.WRONG! Anytime you see to be sold by the BLM.. they mean at auction! .

 

One foal is missing from the family brought in yesterday. One other foal is very lame.

 

On

the ground reports indicate that Cloud is free, but he would not leave

because they are keeping another of one his daughters to be taken away.

They are keeping 6 of 9 of Cloud's bloodlines and family. Cloud only

left when his mares joined him.

 

The 2009 round up is over. They are going to begin to releasing horses, but NOT the older horses.

 

They are leaving around 25 horses - 4 family bands, alone.

 

Red Raven and his family did not come down. They are hiding in the mountains. Two foals are thought to be with this family.

Please spread far and wide.

 

Call to Action

September 9, 2009 by thecloudfoundation

 

 

White House switchboard – 202/456-1414 Ask for Senior Advisors: Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod

Senate Committee of Natural Resources – 202/224-4971

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Please keep calling & e-mailing- there’s more to get done!

 

1. Release the older horses– horses over ten need to be returned to the range, it is cruel and inhumane to remove these horses and they are not appropriate adoption animals and should not be added to the already full BLM holding facilities. They deserve to live out their lives in freedom.

2. Reduce the number of horses to be removed to 20 young horses between ages 1-2 for adoption.

3. Ask for increas

ed scrutiny of the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program. Our wild horse and Burros need immediate change and an end to their mismanagement.

4. Please call the Senate Commitee as well as your state U.S. Senators and ask them to support the S1579 ROAM bill.
