Day One: Barren Valley BLM Wild Horse Stampede « Straight from the Horse's Heart

Wild Horse Freedom Federation’s (WHFF) Laura Leigh was on-site the first day of the contested Barren Valley, Oregon wild horse roundup on 9/11/2011. Ms. Leigh is a plaintiff in several suits filed against the BLM and the most recent case riled Federal Judge H. McKibben enough for him to admonish the BLM for “inhumane” treatment of the horses and issued a rare emergency order which clearly warns the BLM and their contract helicopter stampede pilot to conduct their controversial wild horse roundups in a humane and controlled fashion. According to Leigh’s report it appears that both the BLM and their contractor may be paying attention.
