YOU CAN BE THERE!
Dear Readers,
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING (OR CAN BE!)
For those of you worldwide who want to keep an eye on what BLM does with our wild horses, here's your chance!
This very controversial meeting, brings together the BLM, The National Wild Horse and Burro & Advisory Board and Wild Horse and Burro Advocates.
The decisions made at this meeting, could include the euthanasia of over 30,000 Wild Horses and Burros.
I'll be lined up for a public hearing at 8 a.m (Pacific Time) Monday, along with many other wild horse advocates. I will speak for you and the horses, if I'm allowed to do it.
I've heard that these meeting are often started with many hours of government discussion before public comment period is opened. I'll stay all day, until they let me speak or ask me to leave.
The really exciting news is pasted below. You can watch the hearing live on your computer here, WILD HORSE ADVISORY
Please feel free to send a copy of this to anyone who cares.
Best,
Terri
p.s. I just found an agenda for tomorrow and I wish I could say I were surprised that BLM has left a single hour for public comment. I hope they'll change their minds, since they say it is a TENTATIVE agenda.

Comments: Why do you wish they would change their minds?
HI Lisa,
I'd like BLM to allow more than one hour for public comments for several reasons:
>These are the public's horses
>People are coming from all over the country to stand up for the horses
>according to the agenda, they will make life or death recommendations at 4:00, right after the public comments and I want every public voice to be heard.
Best,
Terri
Can I watch it on the internet?
I watched off and on but never saw you. Best I could tell though they decided life not sale or death? Please post a blog about it!
I did and I'll do more
