The Cloud Foundation said the video shot by activist Lisa
\nFriday last month at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management\u2019s Salt
\nLake Regional Wild Horse and Burro Center in Herriman, Utah,
\nunderscores the need for the agency to halt further roundups of
\nthe animals from the range in the West.<\/div>\n
Among other things, the group based in Colorado Springs,
\nColo., said THE VIDEO SHOWS HORSES THAT WERE UNABLE TO MOVE FROM
\nA KNEE-DEEP MIXTURE OF MUD, MANURE and URINE.<\/div>\n
\u201cI saw more than 10 HORSES IN ONE PEN TRYING TO ESCAPE the
\nquagmire, but their legs were suctioned deep into the mud,\u201d
\nFriday said, adding she also saw “30 HORSES LAYING DOWN IN THE
\nMUD THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS” she was at the facility.<\/div>\n

Undercover video contains disturbing images of once-wild
\nhorses penned in areas where they were unable to navigate out of
\na knee-deep mixture of mud, manure, and urine. Friday, a wild
\nhorse adopter and long-time horsewoman, reports of seeing 30
\nhorses laying down in mud and excrement for the entire three
\nhours in which she was at the facility. \u201dThey never got up,\u201d she
\nstates.<\/div>\n
\u201cI saw more than 10 horses in one pen alone trying to escape
\nthe quagmire but their legs were suctioned deep into the mud,\u201d
\nexplains Friday.<\/div>\n
\u201cSeeing wild horses in this kind of squalor is
\nheart-breaking,\u201d says Ginger Kathrens, Director of The Cloud
\nFoundation who has spent 17 years documenting the wild lives of
\nhorses in her Cloud productions for PBS. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how
\nBLM can justify the removal of these animals from the safety of
\ntheir wild homes, only to dump them into these hellish
\nconditions. I seriously doubt that the American taxpayers want
\ntheir money used for this kind of cruelty.\u201d<\/div>\n
