I am fortunate to have a plot of land adjoining a small lake. There are no fish in the lake, but it has the advantage that there are lots of frogs in and around it. Yesterday, I stood on the bridge and watched and listened to the song of courting moor frogs (Rana arvalis) and common toads (Bufo bufo). I also saw two smooth newts (Triturus vulgaris) but this species do not display with song during the spawning season.
“With no end in near sight for the world’s rhino crisis, disturbing reports are now coming at an unprecedented rate. Daily, even sometimes several times a day, we are hit with more heartbreaking news about these fading pachyderm species. All of them being killed for a single reason: their horn.” Says Sarah Pappin, writer/blogger for The Bush Warriors.
From over 2 million in the 1800s, America’s wild horse population has decreased to fewer than 28,000. There are now more wild horses in government holding pens than remain in the wild. Still, the round-ups continues. Injuries, abortions, trauma, heards coming appart and death are the common results of wild horse round-ups. Terrified horses chased by helicopter running for their lives. Young foals running so fast and hard in desparation that their hooves fall off! Around 40 – 60 horses in these Round-Ups is not unusual; mares, pregnant mares, foals, stallions. Later in these Small, Narrow holding pens, they can hardly move.
This can make any horse panicin. Stallions in the same pen start fighting, foals are trampled, horses trying to get out, lots of injuired horses and many dies. Words from an eye-witness from a round-up in Utah: “In all my life I have never seen such blatant abuse and neglect and just plain lack of compassion for horses, or animals in general for that matter.”
The faith of these “wild-holding-pen-horses” are lifes in BLM's holding pens facilites, if they wont get adopted, then awaits slaugther in the most unexpensive way, often through auctions, dealers buys them and transport them to Canada or Mexico were they are treated very brutal before they are killed. The remaining horses are destened to a life in captivity. Most of the American people want their western wild horses running free, but the government and BLM, Bureau of land management, want something else. In short: In 2001 the BLM obtained a 50% increase in annual budget to $29 million for implementation of an Aggressive Removal Campaign. This opens up for sale of thousands of wild horses to slaughter for human consumption abroad. BLMs responsibilities also include issuing public land grazing permits to cattle ranchers. These areas of public land are available for lease. So, for every wild horse removed from a grazing permit allotment, a fee-paying cow gets to take its place, and a public land rancher gets the benefit of public land forage at bargain rates. This is the number One reason wild horses are removed from public lands! Fortunately, there are organisations with strong and purposefull people who are fighting for these wild beautiful horses. Among them:
