10/13/2015 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail Herd CCDO_PineNutHorses, BLM_NV <[email protected]> Herd 1 message Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 9:56 AM To: [email protected] Please stop the insanity of capturing wild animals and then penning them indefinitely WITHOUT ANY SHELTER. Share the grazing with wild animals first. Retire ranchers grazing leases and allow them to run their business on their own land, not MINE AND YOURS. This FELONY ABUSE of wild horses MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. Where is your brain, heart and soul? There is no valid reasoning for this to continue. Shame on you !!! The wild horses are not the problem!!!

I spend quite a bit of time recreationally in the Pine Nut Range and have for over 30 years. I have observed all the facts presented in the report and agree wholeheartedly that due to the fragile nature of the Pine Nut Range horse numbers need to be dramatically reduced. I consider it torture to leave horses on the range in their present numbers. They are causing environmental damage on a scale never seen in recent history. I have relied on horses for my daily work at times and hold horses in high regard but the environment in the Pine Nut Mountains cannot sustain the level of grazing that is presently occurring. Please remove the excess horses and reduce the horse herd to an ecologically sustainable level near what was previously determined (AML). Again, thank you for attempting to bring balance to the grazing capacity of the Pine Nut Mountains.

These horses destroy our landscaping causing us financial loss. They present a health hazard to residents by defecating in the street and on our lawns. This manure stays in the street and on many lawns for months. Finally, these wild horses present a physical hazard to our children, especially small children. Children do not realize the potential danger. The slightest contact with a child can cause tremendous harm. I urge you to take action to contain these wild horses to BLM land where they belong. Sincerely, https://mail.google.com/mail/b/454/u/0/?ui=2&ik=115e49e550&view=pt&search=inbox&th=14fd8451f07704a4&siml=14fd8451f07704a4 1/1 10/20/2015 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail Pine Nut Roundup CCDO_PineNutHorses, BLM_NV <[email protected]> Pine Nut Roundup 1 message To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Good Afternoon, This email is to protest the upcoming planned roundup of the Pine Nut Wild Horses. The holding pens are already filled to capacity and we now have birth control methods by darting that will keep the horses from reproducing for two years. This is a much better solution. There are plenty of trained advocates that are willing and able to do the darting. Please give us a chance to make this method work! It has a proven track record in the areas that have been using it. Why continue to do round ups, especially by the inhumane method of helicopter? I live in Dayton in the ranches and we have been watching and enjoying these horses for years. Please do not round up our horses. They are a major part of the beauty of our area. If you have questions regarding the darting, please contact Thank you for your consideration. https://mail.google.com/mail/b/454/u/0/?ui=2&ik=115e49e550&view=pt&search=inbox&th=15086dd2d1135b03&siml=15086dd2d1135b03 1/1 10/13/2015 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail REALLY? CCDO_PineNutHorses, BLM_NV <[email protected]> REALLY? 1 message Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 11:58 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> You are getting so much negative scrutiny and I for one would like to see the responsibility of managing horses taken away completely from the BLM corrupt hands. I am working on this believe me. I am so grossed out by the unchecked corruption of all the employees selling the horses to Mexico and Canada..all you do it wipe out the horses like the government did to the Indians 150 years ago. No difference and your never going to stop and never going to feel a thing as you take part in their murder and genocide. God have mercy on the animals but not on the BLM. I am busy busy busy contacting anyone I can to speak out against the BLM and see if I can stop this that has been happening since the 1971 Nixon bill that gave you permission to murder without anyone being able to stop this big black spider called BLM. There is always a way. So my public input which you do not care about except as a ruse...is that you should stop doing this. Get a job any other place. https://mail.google.com/mail/b/454/u/0/?ui=2&ik=115e49e550&view=pt&search=inbox&th=1505d6e52c789eb8&siml=1505d6e52c789eb8 1/1 9/24/2015 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail wild horses CCDO_PineNutHorses, BLM_NV <[email protected]> wild horses 1 message Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Please leave the horses alone and let them live in peace. They should not have to endure the cruel gathers and treatment they are subjected to. They are supposed to be protected, but somewhere along the way that has been forgotten or shoved aside to please the welfare ranchers and special interest! They have as much right to live on the land as any other specie of animal. They are systematically being rounded up and “managed” into extinction all over the west. This has got to stop or we will lose our beautiful mustangs and burros forever. And that is exactly the goal of some people and agencies. Some want to eliminate them through sterilization and pzp, and others through slaughter. This is wrong on so many levels! The horses and burros help the land by keeping it from getting overgrown thus keeping the risk of wild‐fires low. They also help reseed the land with their poop. They do a lot of good. Please leave them alone to live freely. thank you, https://mail.google.com/mail/b/454/u/0/?ui=2&ik=115e49e550&view=pt&search=inbox&th=15001619fd460f04&siml=15001619fd460f04 1/1 10/20/2015 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail Wild horses CCDO_PineNutHorses, BLM_NV <[email protected]> Wild horses 1 message Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 11:07 AM To: [email protected] I am requesting you not round up any more wild horses. If they need water, let's provide the water. For the horses currently in holding BLM holding facilities, they need more water, feed, and Shelter. Please consider the lives of the horses. Not what's best for people, but whats best for the horses.

The agenda seems to favor everything above that of the wild horses. BLM WEIGHS WILD HORSE IMPACT MUCH MORE HEAVILY THAN CATTLE Agency Sage Grouse Review Puts Thumb on Scale to Magnify Wild Horse and Burro Effects Posted on Sep 16, 2014 | Tags: BLM, Grazing Reform Washington, DC — The method used by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to assess range conditions is seriously skewed toward minimizing impacts from domestic livestock and magnifying those from wild horses and burros, according to an appraisal by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). As a result, the BLM’s approach to range management targets scattered wild horses and burros while ignoring far more numerous cattle. The agency’s assessment is part of a 2013 report on factors influencing conservation of the Greater SageGrouse, a grounddwelling bird whose numbers have declined as much as 90% across the West and which is under consideration for protection under the Endangered Species Act. That report concludes that twice the area of sage grouse habitat is negatively impacted by wild horses and burros than the area negatively impacted by livestock. A PEER appraisal of the methodology found – BLM calculates the “area of influence” of wild horses and burros on sage grouse habitat based merely on their presence within Herd Management Areas in sage grouse habitat, while it considers livestock impact to have occurred only when livestock grazing allotments fail the agency’s Land Health Status (LHS) standard for wildlife; If the agency used the same approach for calculating the area of influence of livestock within BLM grazing allotments on sage grouse habitat as it did for wild horses and burros, the area of influence for livestock would be roughly 14 times that given in the report and more than six times that of wild horses and burros; and Within BLM’s own grazing allotment LHS database records, livestock grazing is cited as a cause of failure to achieve a land health standard 30 times more often than are wild horses and burros.
