Dear Jeb,

The public is concerned about captive wild horses being moved from place to place because of a lack of transparency.

Thank you for having Stacy email the answers to our questions about the wild horses who have been moved out of Palomino Valley as seen here: http://protectmustangs.org/?p=6656

The public has been contacting us with questions about the large numbers of wild horses going to NVF83 Northern Nevada Correctional Center, Carson City and WOF56 Fallon Maintenance Facility. They would like transparent answers.

How many wild horses have shipped out of NVF83 Northern Nevada Correctional Center, Carson City from January 1, 2014 to April 2, 2014?

Kindly explain exactly where they went, how many have left for each destination, and how many remain at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center as of April 2, 2014.

How many horses have left the Northern Nevada Correctional Center under “sale authority” since January 1, 2014? Where did they go?

How many wild horses have left the Correctional Center under “sale authority” from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013? Where did they go?

How many pregnant mares are at the correctional facility?  How many foals?

How many deaths have been documented from January 1, 2014 to April 2, 2014? How many undocumented deaths (before being branded or other)?

How many births at the correctional facility?

How many mares miscarried or foals were born dead?  What is the correctional facility manager’s definition of live foal?

and
