Western Horse Watchers Association 
The BLM’s unchecked “emergency” roundups and massive removals of 100’s & 1000’s of our Iconic Wold Horses & Burros is morally reprehensible, illegal according to Federal Codes of Livestock removal to protect wild horse & burro habitat 43 CFR 4710.5
43 CFR 4610.6
Also in violation of PRIA, NEMA & most importantly WFHBA which is the overriding mission of the BLM WHP.
The BLM is completely lacking in any regard for the truth, for its mission, or for decency . This agency is a cancer in the Federal Government spreading malignant corruption and lies in an Autocratic fashion devoid of accountability to its citizens.
