In arguing their case, attorneys for the tnbe, ranchers and county pointed to BLM's own management plan lor Bonanza herd the 142,000-acr- e area, which was developed in 1985 and has not been amended sines. That plan said, based on available vegetation, the appropriate size of the wild hone herd was zero. "No hones, none, that's what it1 says," said Jenkins. "So the plan wasn't complied with. Don't you think the United States ought to comply with its own plan?" "We certainly acknowledge there has never been achieved a zero level Assistant U8. Attorney Stephen Sorenson answered, adding BUI is in the process of amending the 1985 plan and studying how maqy. if any, wild horses should roam the Book Gifts. "Even though it was a good plan, I don't think the plans of the United States are infallible." The cue is far from over, and Jenkins while saying the plain lifts did not demonstrate enough evidence for irreparable harm from the release of the mustangs, did note that BLM may eventually have to capture the hones again to remove them from the range. BLM has waffled over the fete of approximately 220 hones that have been held in temporary corrals near Bonanza while the state veterinarian waited to ensure that all horses carrying equine infectious anemia ( E1A) had been culled and euthanized. The rechcck came on the heels of a massive 1998 outbreak of ELA in tha Bonanza herd area, resulting in the Need Drywall Work? We do patches, basements, remodels, or full houses.

In planning to gather the Bonanza herd toadminister Coggins tests last July, the BLM said all uninfected hones deared by the state vet would be returned to the herd area. But at a public meeting last month in Vernal, BLM officials said they had reexamined the decision to return all healthy horses to the range. Instead, agency officials told the public their preferred option was to put all the , captive horses up for adoption, effectively zeroing out the Bonanza herd area. But a few weeks later, the agency issued a plan with a preferred alternative for partial release, meaning releasing some hones back to the wild while puttingupothers for adop- tion. The zigzagging policy illustrates the BLM's attempts to wey two federal laws seemingly in conflict: Tbs Federal Land Management Policy Act, which dictates BLM must abide by the 1985 management plan, and tha Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Ad, which prevents zeroing out a herd area unices in extreme circumstances. Which mandate from Coni do you want to follow? skodJ If you've got contradictory direction, then you have to aiake a choice. By attempting to meet both man dates. BLM has seemingly pleased no one. The Animal Legal Defense Fund, which is seeking to intervene in the lawsuit, has sought release of all 220 of the hones, although it supports the BLM's decision to cut loose 80 head. The Ute Indian Tribe, which joined as a plaintiff in the case this week, has taken the BLM to task for failing to discuss the plan in detail with tribal leaden before reaching a decision. "The tribe has, and continues to be, denied place at the table, said Ute attorney Robert Thompson. Thomas Bach teU. attorney for the county, presented sworn affidavits from UinU Basin residents whodaim to have seen as many as 45 mustangs roaming the Bonanza herd area just even though BLM last week thought it had gathered the entire herd.
