The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to remove 402 of the estimated 482 of the High Rock Herd Management Area in Washoe County, NV, citing “lack of forage and available water.” Yet, the environmental assessment states that “the canyons are relatively well-watered.” The BLM is working with the Department of Wildlife to permanently re-route the horses’ water to “water developments” for big game and cattle. The absolute minimum estimated cost of this round-up and annual containment of the captured horses is $203,000.00. Please protest this gross misuse of our natural resources and tax-dollars by sending your comments before August 23 (this Wednesday) to: E-MAIL: assurian@ca.blm.gov FAX (530) 279-2171 Or write to: SURPRISE FIELD OFFICE PO BOX 460 CEDARVILLE, CA 96104 ATTENTION- OWEN BILLINGSLEY Make sure to include your name and signature, and this reference number: # 4700 CA-264(CA-370) P On behalf of the horses, thank you for your support, The AWHPC Team American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign www.wildhorsepreservation.org
