The BLM makes me sick, every time I see a head line with "BLM" in it, I just know that it is bad news! I guess it is considered a humane roundup when no horses are chased to death? confuse

2004 Washington State Supreme Court held in 118 Wn. App. 730, State v. Zawistowski, that Webster's Third New International Dictionary 1621 (1969) definition of "pain" as "a state of physical or mental lack of well-being or physical or mental uneasiness that ranges from mild discomfort or dull distress to acute often unbearable agony."

This applies to the FEDS. The individuals responsible should be charged with criminal abuse of a horse, one charge for each horse.

Each member of the overseeing BLM organization of the roundup of horses and burros is covered under these Nevada State laws. So to are the contractors providing the BLM with roundup, holding, training and adoptions of wild horses and burros.

The above Washington State Supreme Court ruling does give all other States and the Federal government a legal definition of horse abuse. Therefore, be informed that BLM's statement "We found this wrong, but we did nothing wrong" is a fraudulent statement.
