Sounds like an appeasement statement to get the public off their backs for a while. Meanwhile, if you read between the lines nothing much is going to change. My opinion only. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.

agree with ghm. sounds like they don't intend to do anything but make some noises to us about their intended efforts. as usual, there will probably be no oversight, no accountability, and very little meaningful change. sounds like they have no real intention of addressing the root causes of the problem. they're probably not even able to even if they wanted to. we'll see.

I sent this link (you posted) to The Humane Society of the U.S. and asked what their position was?

I know they care about issues with horses.

A, as usual, if they followed their own guidelines things would be fine.

j, ditto. It's frustrating when they address something on paper but then there is no follow through or accountability.

Jessica, thanks. I would rather know their position on the video than the guidelines the BLM has sent out - but any nudge of their attention to this issue is incredibly welcome!
