Petition Congress to have Ken Salazar Removed as the Secretary of the D.O.I !

The Secretary of the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's Ken Salazar is systematically destroying the wild horse species as a whole. The wild horse species has acted in part with producing healthier rangelands and proved their ecological value among other ungulates as well.

Secretary Salazar should have never been appointed to this position because of the conflict of interest that his background reflects.
His long family lineage in the cattle ranching business has obviously shown that he has no interest in the welfare of America's national heritage. His decisions are also influenced by lobbysists in the same line of business from which he came.

Ken Salazar has not taken proper precautions to assure the viability of the species and has not shown any scientific proof to support his plans to remove more than half of the species total population. Secretary Salazar recklessly approves the removal of wild horses in such quantities that they are not only detrimental to the species viability, but it is also counter productive to a thriving ecosystem. Since the mass removal of wild horses has taken place this year alone, Secretary Salazar's blind approvals for removal of wild horses has had a negative impact on rangeland ecosystem's across the board.

Secretary Salazar is not abiding by the guidelines set forth in (The Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971). This direct violation of the law must be met with stern consequences. The very law that is supposed to protect these wild horses has been compromised and violated. Without an accurate census of the species there can be no justifiable management. He has repeatedly violated the Wild Horse and Burro Act in numerous occasions and is planning on continuing his systematic destruction of the species via genetic erosion.

If we continue to allow Secretary Salazar to mismanage and eliminate wild horses in the manner in which he has, the wild horses species will cease to function as a vital intricate part of America's rangelands and become extinct as a viable species.

I hereby implore the people of the United States of America to stand as one voice and implore Congress to ask for the resignation of The Department of the Interior's Secretary of The Bureau of Land Management Ken Salazar.

Salazar as sec.of interior is a conflict of interest for America's treasured icons, wild mustangs. His involvement in BP destruction of the Gulf of Mexico alone should be enough to fire him. He is unsuitable for this important position. WE WANT HIM GONE.
Get this rat and horse killer out of office.
The Mustangs are the Americans horses not people who manage them for their own selfish profit. There are not too many, there is water and they are extremely healthy. What BLM is doing is inhumane and unjust not only to the horses but to the American public. STOP NOW!
Time to resign! These horses belong to the American citizens not people who want to gain by eliminating them to graze cattle.
We have to save our wild horses, and if it takes getting rid of Secretary Salazar and get someone who will be more responsive and responsible, so be it. These horses are part of our National Heritage and have to be protected.
what can one say about salazar; he is a perfect example of how corrupt elected and hired public servants are and how lobbyists dictate what goes on in this country. if you are a public servant and you accept payment in any form for your assistance you are a criminal, guilty of a first rate felony for accepting a bribe and need to be removed from the position you hold and incarcerated.. wolves, mustangs, all animals are equal to humans; the bible , written by man says GOD gave dominion to man over all animals, that's BS. every living thing has a right to exist and no SOB by the name of salazar has the right to make it legal for species to be slaughtered. thanks obama when i look at you i see george worthless bush...
Wild Horses, BP, MLK statue, whats next? This man is a walking disaster. Obama needs to lose him.
What they have done to the horses is a grave crime. We know what it was about: money. They were making way for the oil and mining companies to move into those lands. What they did to the horses is evil and corrupt.
