Want to see how your tax dollars are being wasted, the inhumanity of the Bureau of Land Management, the power of the cattle and sheep ranchers, who insist that the wild horse population be decimated so they can run more cattle and sheep on public land? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObXB0Wq3nRE&feature=share

Did you know that tens of thousands of wild horses are warehoused at public expense because they’re being rounded up off of public lands. There was a law passed in the 1970s to protect the wild mustangs, to guarantee their traditional ranges. The BLM has been fencing off those ranges, and restricting water access. Why is a government bureau free to break the law? Go to http://www.thecloudfoundation.org/ and read some of the politics involved.

I have a bald blue jay, no kidding. I’ve seen him now for some months now, and have to shake my head every time I see him.
