Facebook Group Led By UN Director Asks You Flood Congress With Phone Calls Today To Stop BP Slaughter Of Mustangs For Oil Leases
Posted by Alexander Higgins - August 5, 2010 at 11:20 am - Permalink - Source via Alexander Higgins Blog
Loading ...I recently wrote about an Above Top Secret special investigation about BP and corrupt government officials killing off mustangs on public lands to get oil leases.
Above Top Secret is reporting that their investigative piece into the killing of Mustangs on public lands to allow BP to receive drilling leases and oil pipeline permits on public lands is being picked up by CNN.
The ATS report investigates the relationship of corruption between BP and the Federal Government, which includes a corrupt culture of sex, drugs and bribes, to side step Federal laws that would otherwise prevent BP from attaining the leases on public lands.
The La Times reports on the issue:
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s take on controversial wild horse roundup
The federal Bureau of Land Management’s controversial roundup of approximately 2,500 wild horses in Nevada has been met with protest from outraged animal advocates who argue that the measure is cruel and unnecessary. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar explains his position on the mustang dilemma in The Times’ Opinion section…
…
Salazar then contradicts himself by saying the horses are under threat from over population on Federal Lands and then makes the argument that the best way to protect them is to drive them off of Federal Lands the only place where their populations are flourishing.
Without natural predators, wild horse populations have grown beyond the carrying capacity of the sensitive and sparse lands on which they live, causing damage to ecosystems and putting them at risk of starvation. As a result, federal managers must move thousands of wild horses each year off the range to pastures and corrals, where they are fed, cared for and put up for adoption.
The current situation is unsustainable.
The American people expect the health of their lands and watersheds to be protected, and it is unacceptable to allow wild horses to be malnourished on inadequate ranges. Yet no one wants to see them gathered and moved off Western ranges. Moreover, the status quo comes with a steep price tag. The federal government spends more than $60 million a year on the wild horse and burro program, of which $35 million goes to the care and feeding of the horses.
A broad range of animal rights organizations, conservationists and Western communities agree that we cannot continue down the current path. We must change course.
I agree.
Go figure.
The ATS investigation reveals the real reason that Salazar made the decision to drive the the horses from Federal lands was so BP could install an oil pipeline.
…
Well that post got the attention of some notable people and led to the launch the FaceBook Group SAVE THE WILD MUSTANGS OF AMERICA which ran by the following members.
- John Paul Martins
- CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
- Carissa Caines
- FOUNDER
- Marietha Dos Santos (United Nations)
- International director
- Karen Landry
- CANADIAN DIRECTOR
- Annie Kimmell Mond
- American Director
The goal of the group is make BP pay for land where the mustangs can live instead of being corralled and slaughtered senselessly in the name of profits for Big Oil.
Description:
THERE WERE 2,000,000 WILD MUSTANGS
ROAMING FREE IN AMERICA.
NOW THERE ARE LESS THAN 33,000 REMAINING.B.P. – EVEN BEFORE THE GULF – WAS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING, AND CONTINUES TO FUND, THIS NAZI-STYLE MASSACRE OF THE MUSTANG.
MY MISSION ON EARTH IS TO STOP THIS.
~ We are excited to be proposing a National Park to protect all the Wild Horses In America.
~ We are Looking for Funding From BP Corporation And The Obama White House.
~ We believe in setting up a National Foundation for the protection of the almost extinct Wild Horse population.
~ We are working toward proactive legislation in 2010, at both the state and federal level, that will actually improve conditions for horses, not advance some subversive agenda. We are better positioned than we ever have been before, but we need the full engagement of our grassroots to succeed!
~ We need Funding from BP ~ ASAP ~ and we need YOU to spread the word to everyone that you know, who understands why it is so important to address the two big issues that negatively impact the welfare of the WILD MUSTANG:1) The chipping of Wild Horses for disease and tracking
2) Controlling the population of Wild Horses in National
Park
That group has reached out to me today and asked the I help spread the following message to help flood congress with phone calls demanding the end to the senseless slaughter of the horses.

Simone Netherlands: “Look folks this is really important, here is how it works ~ WE JUST SPOKE TO THE STAFFERS IN PERSON LAST WEEK, THESE ARE THE FACTS:
It is a tally per day. When we were there for example, they received 75 calls that …day. However the no 1 issue people are concerned about receives about 200 phonecalls per day. All we have to do is beat that 200 phone calls per day and it will be brought up in the staff meeting as well as in the weekly meeting with Harry Reid. It only has to be on one day, not every day. No matter if he is currently on our side or not, When it is the number one issue people are concerned about, they pay attention especially close to election time.
So don’t get mad and do nothing, get mad and get into action.
August 5th is Call Harry Reid day!!Don’t tell him he’s a piece of shit, that won’t even do anything, it won’t even be reported. It is a tally, all you have to do is state your position and you get either a plus or a minus. You dont have to make it long, and you don’t have to convince anyone. Make it short and move on to your next phone call. We need to reach 200 in one day. In order to accomplish this, we have made August 5th, call Harry Reid day.
It will then be brought up in the staff meeting as well as in the weekly meeting. This is the only way he even gets to hear about it, if it reaches 200 in one day.

She responded and I gave her the link to this article on facebook.
Here is what she said.
Robyn Rindosh: When he asked about me calling from out of state and when I answered certain questions such as my name, I hear beep. So I went off and I did bring up that he was running for the Senate seat not a local so all voices matter. I was just mad at him pushing the buttons and when I demanded to know why he did that he laughed and said it wasn't their phones. Yea right.

I just phoned Reid's office to stop the slaughter and support these bills. Whoever answered the phone was nice until I told why I was calling. When I was done the only thing she said was "have a nice day" but managed to say it in an arrogant I don't give a darn attitude. What a witch!!! Get Reid and his creeps out of office !!!

I, and all that I had call did not get the reponses posted by commenters above. A male aide answered myself as well as all that I had call, stated that we wish for Harry Reid to support HR 503 as well as S727. Then we were asked for our zip codes. And that was that.

The truth is Asians and Pacific Rim countries, Australia included, pay BIG MONEY for horse meat where the same is considered a delecacy. American horse meat sells for $45/Lb in Japan. As usual just follow-the-money-train!
