THANKS!National Congress of American Indians Passes ResolutionKatherine Minthorn Good Luck, representative of the National Tribal HorseCoalition on the United Organizations of the Horse's Founding Leadership Team,reports that the National Congress of American Indians has passed a resolutionexpressing the tribes' views in regards to federal interference with their ability to sustainably manage horses on tribal lands, andsupporting the reopening of USprocessing facilities. Tribes in at least four states-Oregon, Montana, North andSouth Dakota-are working to establish humane processing facilities on triballands to provide an economic boost, jobs, and a much-needed valuable use forexcess horses on tribal lands, and as a service to all horse owners.This resolution was passed at their Mid Year Conference in Niagara Falls, NY,June 14-17 and should be posted on their website shortly.Government Accounting Office (GAO) Takes Hard Look atBureau of Land Management's (BLM) Need for Options for Unadoptable Feral HorsesThe BLM believes they have about 33,000 horses running on public land, alongwith another 30,000 in feedlots, and holding facilities that cannot be adopted.Google Earth photo counts, and horrific incidents like the Trail Springs disaster,and the continued destruction of the range conditions, all indicate that theremay be more than three times that many. In this report from the GAO, government researchers point out the inaccuracy of the populationestimates."The extent to which BLM has actually met Appropriate Management Level (AML)depends on the accuracy of BLM's population counts. Nineteen of the 26 fieldofficials GAO surveyed used a counting method which, researchers say, consistently undercounts animals and does not provide astatistical range of population estimates. Undercounting can put animals at risk and lead to increased program costs."Guest Editorials:Wise Words of Support From the Senior Senator from WyomingMichael B.
