wild horses and Nevada water hearing on Friday May 13th

5/12/2011

Hi ya'll,
We need to make a stand for our horses.  Even if you are not from Nevada, we need to show up.  You can be sure they won't take the time to see where you live.  They will simply see people that care about this issue.  I know that gas prices are too high, and we are all too busy and can't make it, but we need to "git er done" and make it to Nevada no matter what.  So if you can rearrange things, carpool or whatever, let's get over there.

I for one don't want to look back and ask myself if things would have been different if there were people present to show them that yes, the people care.

Hope to see ya'll

AB 329 - WILD HORSES AND NEVADA WATER - WILL BE HEARD BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FRIDAY MAY 13

All information  is provided to us from Carrol Abel~~~~~ Via: Cat Kindsfather..... We need as many people to be there and be a "show of force"..... Who's on board for a road trip?

AB 329 - WILD HORSES AND NEVADA WATER - WILL BE HEARD BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FRIDAY MAY 13
ROOM 2144, 401 S. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada

We are asking all available advocates to attend this hearing. DON'T LET OUR LEGISLATORS DO THIS TO THE HORSES. AB 329 will be heard on Friday May 13 . The Senate committee on Natural Resources meets in room 2144 in the legislative building. NOTE: The normal meeting time for this committee is 3:30. However, this meeting is to begin upon adjournment of a different committee meeting, but no later than 3:30. I suggest we arrive at the legislative building no later than 2:00. You need time to park and get to the hearing room. The address and parking instructions are at the bottom of this message.

If passed, this bill could be very dangerous for our wild horses. AB329 amends NRS Chapter 532 , laws regulating the determination of water rights within Nevada.

Section 1. Chapter 532 of NRS is hereby amended by adding
thereto a new section to read as follows:

As used in this title, unless the context otherwise requires,
“wildlife” means any wild mammal, wild bird, fish, reptile,
amphibian, mollusk or crustacean found naturally in a wild state,
whether indigenous to Nevada or not and whether raised in
captivity or not. The term does not include any wild horse or
burro .

WHY IS THIS DANGEROUS?

By removing wild horses and burros from the definition of wildlife, the process to get water rights needed in some of our herd management areas can be impeded or possibly prevented. You don't need much imagination to figure out what could happen if horses and burros don't have sufficient water available.

a little background

According to Assemblyman Pete Goicoechea, bill sponsor, the request to write this bill came from Nevada Cattlemen's association and Nevada sportsmen - a fact that has not been publicized. Conversation with Nevada's Deputy water engineer has confirmed that many of BLM's existing water rights have not completed the certification needed. These rights and possibly others are in danger.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

BE THERE ! Bring your friends and neighbors! You don't have to testify. We just need to show the Senators that Nevada residents are against this bill. At the hearing of a different bill, a comment was made that nobody supported our position - if they did, they would be there. We need your support if we are going to stop this bill.

Public parking is available in several places. There is a parking structure on Stewart St. directly behind the legislative building is the most convenient but is sometimes full. There are also two parking lots across the street at the south end of the building. For those unfamiliar with the legislative building, it is located at : 401 S. Carson street.
