Open Letter with Comments, Concerns and Proposals by WFLF and ISAGC Re Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Management

Open letter to BLM & USFS Re WFLF & ISAHC Comments, Concerns and Proposals Re Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Management

To:

BLM and USFS

From:

Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF)

International Saving America’s Horses Coalition (ISAHC)

WFLF & ISAHC Comments, Concerns & Proposal(s)

Given the fact that there are roughly 200,000 acres in the MPWHT, we are extremely concerned that the MPWHT has an assigned allowable population of only 138 - 230 wild horses, (a mean of just 184 horses). Based on the same, the BLM and USFS would only allow one individual horse for every 1,087 acres, or 1.7 square miles. This is both absurd and contrary to the management goals and duties of the BLM and USFS.

Given the current estimated population of 654 horses, there are roughly 306 acres, or 0.48 square miles per individual wild horse. This population is therefore well within the established horse carrying capacity of moderate horse density in relation to available forage, water & shelter.

Per the proposed Wild Horse Management for MPWHT, (https://fs.usda.gov/detail/inyo/landmanagement/resourcemanagement/?cid=fseprd1145518 ) the BLM and USFS overly simplify consideration of this legally protected herd. Further, there is absolutely no evidence to support the assertion that wild horses are destructive presences wherever they live.

The BLM and USFS proposal further lack any alternatives to address the purported disturbances. WFLF and ISAHC experts have studied and visited the warm springs on the east shore of Mono Lake, including the high-use recreation areas such as Navy Beach and South Tufa, and have closely observed the mustangs around Montgomery Pass. Moreover, factual evidence clearly demonstrates that there are scant bands with very little negative impact.

The BLM and USFS have failed to consider the heavy snow last winter which created a natural emergency for the wild horses. As such, the horses were forced to seek areas where they could survive. We have yet to discover any attempt by the BLM and USFS to help the horses during this natural emergency.

This natural emergency does not provide any justification for the proposed reduction and or elimination of this important wild horse population. Further, per Sections 4 & 6 of WFHBA, Cooperative Agreements can be established with adjacent land management agencies and, or private landowners to provide all the year-round habitat requirements. Further, per the WFHBA, it is the agency’s legal duty to manage a sustainable and viable wild horse population; not to eliminate them.

Further, the BLM and USFS have failed to recognize the benefits of the wild horses’ daily & seasonal movements that, in fact, support the ecosystem through the constitution of natural rest-rotation which allows the various sectors of their habitat to rebound. Substantial scientific evidence documents how the broad-ranging, semi-nomadic nature of the horses supports the ecosystem.

Per the Wild Free-Roaming Horses & Burros Act they must be allowed to live naturally and freely and with minimum interference. Per the Act, they must be allowed to fulfill their natural niche and role in the ecosystem. BLM and USFS are actually in violation of this law by not working in favor of the herd, and by restricting, confining and removing them based on falsehoods and fabricated excuses.

Substantial scientific evidence has proven that wild horses are deeply rooted returned native species in North America. This fact is further demonstrated by fossil and petroglyphs found in the MPWHT. If there is merit to the suggested concerns of noticeable disturbance or conflict with visitors or traffic, it is the agency’s duty to develop and manage a protective plan that both mitigates & prevents the same.

We propose that BLM and USFS create alternative watering sources and natural shelter areas that are away from the extreme weather patterns including any heavy snowstorms & blizzards & cold weather. We further propose the construction of fencing and or other artificial barriers. For example, overpasses can be constructed at strategic locations along highways, and vivid traffic signs including speed control can easily be implemented. We further suggest the installation of speed control bumps which would be highly effective in slowing motorists down in specific areas.

Wild horses can be easily conditioned through both positive reinforcement & safe and humane negative reinforcement to stay away from sensitive habitats & areas of possible conflict. These safe and humane methods have been successfully implemented with other large wild animals including elephants, rhinos & zebras to prevent conflicts in farmland and human dwelling areas, as well as sensitive habitats.

We further propose that any plans to roundup and remove any wild horses from the MPWHT be canceled immediately, and that these management methods be instead implemented by the BLM and USFS. It’s important to additionally point out that these management methods would be far less expense to conduct than roundups, etc., which are in fact, far more destructive to the environment.

Per the WFHBA, wild horses & burros contribute to the diversity of life forms within the nation and enrich the lives of the American people. Further, a wild horse/burro range, or legal area, is the amount of land necessary to sustain an existing herd or herds of wild free-roaming horses and burros and should be devoted principally but not necessarily exclusively to their welfare and be considered an integral part of the natural system of public lands.

Wild horses naturally build healthy, humus rich soils and disperse many intact seeds of a great variety of plants including many native species. They can and will naturally adapt to their ecosystem in harmonious ways that enhance the environment if allowed.

In Honor of Mario James, the Man with the Heart of Gold

In Loving Memory of Mario James

CREW AND AMBASSADOR TO SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED

Mario James, November 1954 - February 2023. Devoted husband and life partner to Saving America's Horses Filmmaker Katia Louise. Mario James was a passionate Ambassador to SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES, and the award winning Line Producer, Production Manager, Camera Operator, Lighting, Theater Technician and Special Events MC & Educational Spokesperson for SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED. Mario was also the Equine Rescue & Sanctuary Assistant Director & onsite Manager, and Caregiver for Wild For Life Foundation's (WFLF's) Lifetime Equine Refuge, longtime horseman & dedicated equine advocate. Mario James was the man behind the Mission of SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES at WFL Humanion Films. He was a devoted supporter of the Wild For Life Foundation and its mission to prevent animal cruelty, end horse slaughter, and save and protect horses & burros in need. His humanity shined in his devotion to his wife and family, and the labor of love work for his revered horse family. Mario was also a loving and devoted son-in-law, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, and caring friend. He was there when fire threatened the sanctuary and risked his own safety, he was there when neighbors and friends needed help in their rural community, he was there to help care for his mother-in-law, and served as the rock on which everyone could always depend. Mario was a Treasured Spirit Peaceful Warrior Brother and Elder of the Horse Nation, with a HEART as BIG as a HERD! Mario's FIRE and PASSION to take care of one of CREATOR'S MOST MAJESTIC BEINGS with utmost LOVE, GENTLENESS AND CARING was boundless and selfless. He made sure they had a voice and a perpetual home and did everything in his power to ensure they were well cared for.

But the heart of the man with the heart of gold suddenly stopped beating in the morning of February 4th. And now we at Saving America's Horses, Wild For Life Foundation and Lifetime Equine Refuge are faced with the reality that our kind, gentle and sensitive man who gave his all to those in his care, are grieving through the experience his sudden loss and the rescue horses & burros who reside at our humble equestrian sanctuary are facing life without our sanctuary manager, their caregiver and support for their essential daily needs.

Mario’s family is grieving through the shocking experience of his traumatic loss, and has set up a special memorial fund to honor his lifesaving work through the Wild For Life Foundation charity. Please consider supporting us so we may honor and continue the work of his life, and now, his legacy.

HORSES A NATION BETRAYED, the international award winning feature film, on three worldwide streaming platforms to highlight the escalated plight of horses & burros in America. The documentary, written, produced, and directed by filmmaker Katia Louise, spotlights how the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) so called adoption program has paved the way for countless wild horses & burros to be funneled off to slaughter, and how the BLM continues to wage war on America’s wild mustangs through conflicting livestock, corporate and mining interests, “The really shocking fact is… the problem has only gotten worse over the past decade,” says UnchainedTV founder Jane Velez-Mitchell.

The film also exposes the sordid industry that sends horses on long and cruel trips across U.S. federal borders to foreign slaughterhouses where they languish and die horrific deaths. “This exposé shows how the public has been misled by government agencies and corporate interests that twist the laws that are supposed to protect the horses, the people and the environment,” adds filmmaker Katia Louise. Celebrity appearances include Ken Wahl, Paul Sorvino, Linda Grey, Willie Nelson, and others that speak up for these innocent, majestic animals who cannot speak for themselves.

"In 15 years, I have yet to hear one legitimate argument in favor of horse slaughter. Not one. I've sat through continuing education sessions and have been completely baffled at the complete untruths that are being told to veterinarians regarding both horse slaughter and the wild horses. I've been hearing these lies for 15 years now and they are what the veterinarians are basing their opinions on. This situation is so heartbreaking for our beloved horses. The horse slaughter industry is completely inhumane on so many levels not to mention what an unscrupulous industry it is as well. The industry represents everything that veterinarians are not supposed to be or do." - Dr. Lisa Jacobson

"My heart is broken and calls for this horrific travesty to STOP IMMEDIATELY! These Sacred Creations called Horse and Burro are integrated into our culture as Great Spirit's helpers for Indian peoples along with being teachers and Spiritual Medicine Keepers. It goes against ALL Natural Laws of Creator to slaughter horses and burros for human consumption worldwide!! AHO" - Chief Daniel "Eagle Warrior" Ramos, Chief Spiritual Leader, Choctaw Muskogee Yamassee Nation.

WFLF Study Reveals Disturbing Number of U.S. Thoroughbreds Slaughtered Each Year

Oct. 31, 2022

In 2012 the Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF) released a Case Study conducted on the number of Thoroughbreds that die at slaughter annually. Based on data published by the U.S. government and the Jockey Club in the years 2002 – 2010, it was reported that an amount equal to 70% of the annual Thoroughbred foal crop, on average, die at slaughter each year.

The findings represent a detailed portrait of the U.S. Thoroughbreds slaughtered in the years 2002 through 2010, as compared to annual Thoroughbred foal crop.

The case study is based on data published by the U.S. government and the Jockey Club. According to the study, an amount equal to 70% of the annual Thoroughbred foal crop, on average, die at slaughter each year.

“The polls have shown that the vast majority of those in racing want an end to the transport of their horses to any slaughterhouse,” said Jo Anne Normile, founder of Saving Baby Equine Charity and CANTER, the first organization to take Thoroughbreds right from the track to safe havens. “But for every Secretariat, for every Seabiscuit, there are tens of thousands of racehorses whose experiences on the back lots of the country’s tracks tell a different story.”

“As more race tracks scramble to implement programs to protect thoroughbreds at the end of their careers, it is important to remember that this same horrible fate is imposed on many that never have a racing career.” — Shelley Abrams, Racehorse Owner, Co Founder Americans Against Horse Slaughter.

“Without federal protection, aftercare programs cannot safeguard our horses from the harm of horse slaughter,” adds Katia Louise, President Wild for Life Foundation. “It’s evident that much more must be done by the industry, including a united stance supporting a federal ban on slaughter of horses for human consumption.”

Wild for Life Foundation extends an open invitation to the members of the Thoroughbred industry to join the Saving America’s Horses Initiative for the protection of all horses from slaughter. Members of the Thoroughbred industry can help champion the way by supporting an anti-slaughter position in their communities and by supporting the legislative bills that protect all America’s horses from slaughter.

As part of the initiative, “Saving America’s Horses” is spotlighting the issue through the world's most powerful visual resource, cinema. SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED, is a brilliant landmark feature film that sends a life-changing message to the public about the need to protect our horses.

Coming Soon!

SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED

The 2022 release of SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED has been announced! Get updates about the release, how to watch & take part on opening day!

"SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED is a sobering wake up call to the need for all horsemen and horsewomen to do more to ensure that our beloved horses are protected. I urge the leaders in the Thoroughbred industry to set an example for the rest of the industry to actively get behind this film and support the legislation that will put an end to horse slaughter" — Bing Bush Jr., equine attorney

"SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES is so important to shed light on the reality of what is happening to our horses everyday in this country. My hope is that every horse lover will come away with a whole new understanding of why we have to protect these magnificent animals after seeing the film" says Nick Zito, Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse trainer.

Founded in 2009, the SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES Coalition is an international alliance of equestrian professionals, veterinarians, equine welfare experts, humane education researchers, horse advocates, scientists, film and television artists, and concerned citizens working in concert to promote humane and sustainable wild horse and burros preservation with a focus on the prevention of equine cruelty and ending the slaughter of America's horses.

The Wild for Life Foundation and the Saving America’s Horses Coalition commends the progress that's been made over the years toward an auditable aftercare program for rehabilitation, retraining and adoption for horses whose racing careers have ended. However, more must be done in all racing jurisdictions and the industry must help generate more funds to assist in the transition of horses from racing into second careers. Together we further recommend that the leaders in the equine industry resolve to a vigorous showing of support for anti-slaughter legislation; to help put an end to the travesty and tragedy of horse slaughter for human consumption. Without Federal protection, racehorse aftercare programs cannot safeguard our horses from the cruelty and devastating harm of horse slaughter.
