Captured Calico Wild Horses Continue to Die under the hand of the BLM « Straight from the Horse's Heart

More than half of the 1922 wild horses scavenged by the BLM from Nevada’s Calico Mountain Complex have now been pushed through a squeeze chute at the Indian Lakes Road feedlot to be freeze-branded, wormed, vaccinated, and otherwise “processed” for adoption. In spite of BLM assurances that the processing is relatively benign, it has already claimed the lives of several horses, including a yearing filly whose death was chronicled in yesterday’s Gather Daily Updates.
