Despite Trump Promise - Bureau of Land Management Breaks Rule Of Law

Despite Trump Promise - Bureau of Land Management Breaks Rule Of Law Making Extinction All But Inevitable For Wild Horses & Burros
Wild Horse Freedom Federation's White Paper exposes BLM: Never-seen evidence proves America's wild horses and burros are disappearing without explanation

PINEHURST, Texas, July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wild Horse Freedom Federation, Inc. (WHFF), today released its white paper, "Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse & Burro Program, with a Focus on Problems Related to Holding Facilities." America's wild horses and burros – long a national treasure and symbol of freedom – are endangered and being pushed towards extinction, despite the Trump administration's promise to uphold the rule of law.

The comprehensive white paper cites taxpayer waste and multitudes of inconsistencies in documentation presented to both the American public and Congress. These alleged offenses continue to occur under the direction of Trump-appointed Secretary of the Department of Interior (DOI), Ryan Zinke.

WHFF's document notes current and historical violations that include evidence of misrepresentation, wasting taxpayer funds, and lack of scientific accounting for the wild horses and burros -- in absolute defiance of the Congressional statute that provides for the safety of the iconic wild herds.

The five-year investigation culminating in the document has uncovered a consistent pattern of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) releasing misinformation thought to confuse and mislead the American taxpaying public and legislators.
