Impeach Sally Jewell-Secretary of the Interior

Sally Jewell continues to ignore the elimination of the iconic wild horses of the United States

The Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, made statements as she entered office that she would wait for the National Academy of Sciences report on the two year study they did on how the BLM handles the wild horses in the United States. The fact of the matter is she got the report, which was asked for by the BLM and cost them $1,200,000 over 24 months, and she has refused to make the changes to the program that the panel of 14 experts recommended. The NAS calls the BLM program an "expensive failure" at $77,000,000 per year. "It is counter productive and does not meet any of the goals that it has set for itself" In 1971 when the "Free roaming wild horse and burro act was established as a federal law it prohibited using motorized vehicles for roundups and outline how the animals were to be handled and treated. It has been gutted by politicians and ignored by the BLM who come up with new excuses to round up horses at every opportunity. There are now 49,000 wild horses in BLM pens and there are only a total of about 65,000 wild horses in the entire United States. So there are more wild horses in pens than anywhere. In 1900 there were over 2,000,000 wild horses in the United States so this means that we have eliminated 97% of all of the wild horses in existence. Sally Jewell has not been honest, up front and has not answered the thousands of people who have asked for her help. She is now part of the problem and not the solution and we need to impeach her and remove her from the Federal Office she was handed for doing nothing more than getting a referral. She is acting like a typical corporate dictator and not a friend of the people as she ignores our will and flies around the United States on her jet making speeches about what should be done. We need a real activist and reformer and this should be the official start of the impeachment process.
