RENO, Nev. (AP) — The head of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Nevada is appealing to agency employees to step up and blow the whistle on any abuse of mustangs.
Amy Lueders said that's the best way to stop horse protection advocates from undermining the agency's roundup policies with video footage of the mistreatment of the animals and making it harder for federal land managers to win the public's trust.
"Regardless of title, whether you are a contractor or law enforcement or public affairs, that's everyone's responsibility," she said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Super Congress funding.....

Congress' "Super Committee" (also known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction) is a group of Senators and Representatives tasked with identifying $1.2 billion in federal budget cuts by Thanksgiving.
This week, AWHPC joins our coalition partner, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), in urging the Super Committee to recommend savings for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) budget by requiring the agency to manage horses on the range and avoid the costly roundups and removals that are breaking the bank of American taxpayers and devastating our remaining wild horse herds.

new senate bill for grazing

Can this bill survive to the Senate Floor for debate: Voluntary Grazing Permit Retirement Legislation Introduced in Congress
Bill Would Provide Cash Option for Grazing Permittees

Conservationists hailed the introduction of the Rural Economic Vitalization Act (H.R. 3432) in Congress today, a bill that would allow federal grazing permittees to voluntarily relinquish their grazing permits back to the managing federal agency in exchange for compensation paid by a third party. The bill was introduced by Representative Adam Smith (D-WA-9th) and six original cosponsors.
