We, the American public, urge you to replace the Head of the Department of the Interior, Kenneth Salazar.
July 25, 2010
Pregnant horses spontaneously aborting, foals not managing to keep up when chased, horses dropping and dying due to exhaustion running from danger … Welcome to the “humane” side of America. Tell Obama that Salazar needs to be replaced, the blood of innocent horses is on his hands, it’s time to clean up. This is NOT what you voted for, this is not what you consider logical, ethical, or necessary.
PLEASE SIGN, FROM CATHERINE RITLAW:

Salazar is an IDIOT. Never should have been hired for the job.

Salazar is the proverbial ‘fox guarding the hen house’; we may as well put BP in charge of the EPA (except it appears that they already are)!

Cattle rancher, hates wild horses, no regard for the environment…and I think not especially intelligent either. We could have had Raul Grijalva. Salazar must go!

Salazar got personally picked for this position because HE AND OBAMA ARE GOOD OL’ BUDDIES FROM THEIR SENATE YEARS!!! And I’m always thinking thats also probably why he keeps defying Jusges orders with all these roundups. Its UP TO THE JUDGE WHOSE ORDER WAS BROKEN, TO HAVE THE PURPATRATOR ARRESTED (i.e. Salazar). But Salazar keeps getting away with these atrocities, doesn’t he! I am extremely worried about our wild herds.

I want a person in this very important office who understands our American Heritage! Wild horsed, bear, wolves, burros, buffalo etc. all belong and deserve the right to live on our public lands! These lands our owned by We, the taxpayers, not the cattle ranchers who greedily want it all to raise their cattle so they can feed them for next to nothing by grazing them on our land! This practice needs to be stopped immediately! These cattle ranchers are mostly loaded with money already and now they want to get rid of our native wildlife! I am appalled and angered by their audacity! It is time for Salazar to go! We want a humane person to fill that office. Not a man who is in the pocket of the cattle industry! Living our lives the best that we can means letting other species exist where they are meant to be! Man is not the King of the world and never should be. It is time for us to elect politicians who are for the people and the wildlife!

Salazer would not be in the position he’s in, if he were not merely reflecting Obama’s policy, and it’s the president who should be taking the heat for what’s happening to the mustangs. Somehow, I think if Bush were still in the White House, the criticism of the president would be a lot more extensive and a lot harsher.

Mr.Obama….I really thought you would be the change the United States needed. Well, what I have seen with this BLM/K.Salazar has GOT to STOP!!! I just don’t know how much more ‘HEARTLESS’ a man & a organization can be. HAVE YOU seen the videos or watched these roundups? Do your girls know what is happening to the ‘American Peoples Horses’?? I think not. NO animal deserves to be ‘chased’ by a helicopter, period, never mind in sweltering heat. That they are dropping from exhaustion, the foals CAN NOT run for those miles & in that HEAT!!! GEEEZUS…what is it going to take to get your ATTENTION.
You have put a man (K.Salazar) in charge of something he knows NOTHING about, he is a CATTLE RANCHER. Everyone knows that & this group he has hired to chase these animals are causing so much ANGER there in the State of Neveda & others, but also here in CANADA! The treatment of ANIMALS is wrong & very disturbing on so many levels….they MUST be a change. The public, the taxpayers have had enough!! YOU need to address this NOW. These ’roundups’ must stop until this is looked at. The wild horses/burros were given that land, now their families are being horribly broken & in a most pathetic inhumane way. JUST look at the numbers BLM claims have died, but they also have put the catch pens on private land so the ‘public’ can not view the roundups, like it use to?? WHAT is up with that???? Just what are you hiding BLM???

In 1971 our horses and burros were given land to run free. Now President Obama and the BLM are rounding all the horses and burros up. WHY? What is going on BLM they are healthy not hurting anything. Your Cattle people do not want them around. Plus you are sending them to slaughter and getting money. Death money. Your using our money the taxpayers money to do this. WE DEMAND this to stop and K.Salazar replaced with a person that cares and protects our horses. This is our land you have no right doing this. Can I go on to any gov land and round up all the deer and sell the meet no. Why does the BLM have the right? I’m the gov we all our. We DEMAND THIS STOPS NOW.
