Foundation & Others Stop the BLM's Plans Elimination & Castration Plans in Pancake Complex

From Ginger Kathrens on the subject:

Great news! The Cloud Foundation, and others have succeeded in preventing the zeroing out of the Jakes Wash Herd of wild horses in the Pancake Complex of eastrn Nevada. BLM has also agreed to take gelding off the table! 200 stallions were to be captured, castrated and turned back onto the range.  Read all about it here. I hope this signals a turnaround for the mustangs in 2012. Keep the faith, Happy Holidays and Happy Trails!

BLM Postpones Radical Wild Horse Elimination and Castration Plan in Response to Federal Lawsuit
Environmental and Conservation Groups Fight to Stop Latest Government Plan to Destroy Wild Horse Herds

Washington, DC (December 21, 2011) ... Today, in response to a lawsuit filed by a coalition of environmental and wild horse advocacy groups, the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has agreed to postpone its plans to "zero out" (eliminate all wild horses from) the Jakes Wash Herd Management Area (HMA) in Nevada and to replace 200 wild, free-roaming stallions with castrated males and return them to the range. These “scientifically unsound, controversial, untested, and radical approaches” are part of the BLM’s proposed Pancake Complex roundup, which is set to begin on January 12, 2011.
