There are just too many animals on it now, according to Nodine. Area ranchers have agreed to voluntary reductions in livestock use and the removal of the 200 horses will reduce the wild horse population in the area to slightly more than that of 1971 when the Wild and Horses and Burros Act was passed by Congress. The 1971 act gave management, protective, and control responsibilities to the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture and put an end to the running of wild horses and burros, commonly called mustang-ing- , and slaughter of the animals for commercial uses. Since then, wild horse and burro herds have grown about 20 per cent each year until, in Nevada alone, there are about 1,000 burros and 25,000 wild horses, the largest concentration per state in the U.S. Nationally, there are about 50,000 wild horses and 14.000 wild burros on public lands. The Stone Cabin Valley horses were captured by water trapping, a method by which they are attracted into corrals for drinking water. Once in, the gate is closed behind them. The animals are examined to determine their condition; also a Nevada State brand inspector determines if each is a true wild horse. If they are healthy and meet wild horse criteria, BLM personnel match the captured animals with requests they have on file, attempting to place each horse with an applicant who has indicated a preference for one or more with certain characteristics. For instance, Nodine says, if someone wants a filly and we caught one, well notify that filly and dont have person. If we have a an application for that kind of horse on file, well call the person who wants the and offer that horse to him or her. Nodine admits some horses will have to be destroyed because of injuries, disease, or generally poor condition. That will be done as humanely as possible, he says, by injecting overdoses of a drug. Successful applicants are certified only as custodians of the animals since the Department of the Interior, by law, retains title to them. The custodians, who transport the horses to their new homes and feed them at their own expense, must give them proper care and are not allowed to use them for commercial purposes other than ranch work. Thus far, the Nevada BLM office has received about 3.000 inquiries from 49 states, Puerto Rico and Canada for the Stone Cabin Valley horses. Two national protective organizations, Wild Horse Organized Assistance, Inc., and the National Wild Horse Association, are helping screen applicants to ensure that each potential custodian has an adequate place to keep a horse, knowledge of horses and their needs, and are financially and physically able to care for them. The Nevada BLM office will retain the names of those who qualify as foster parents but whose application arrived too late to be considered for one of those captured in Stone Cabin Valley.

Federal officials or horse protection organization members acting as agents for the BLM will visit each foster home at least once a year to ensure that the animal is healthy and not being used for a commercial purpose. In addition, they note, feeding and care costs a minimum of $20 a month for each animal. The Salt Lake Health Department has ordered closure of snowmobile trail heads that do not have permanent public toilets. Dr. Harry Gibbons, health department director, said in a letter to Harold Tippets, director of the State Parks and Recreation Department that two major areas of concern are the Guardsman Pass area of Big Cottonwood Canyon and the Big Mountain area in Parleys City-Count- y Canyon. Salt Lake County Commissioner Where thousands of listeners enjoy concert music and news every day! William Dunn said this week that the county is considering a raise in green fees on its golf courses from $1.50 to $2. Commissioner Dunn in charge of parks and recreation said the increase will come after an agreement with city officials is reached which agrees to raise the city courses also. The commissioner said the increase is necessary to meet rising costs in maintenance and operation of golf courses. |
