New Cruelty Charges in Fatal Castration Case The Associated Press
November 08 2006
A Utah man has been charged in the fatal castration of a wild horse. At least three people now face charges in the cruelty case.
Terry John Reid, 48, of Dutch John, was released on his own recognizance after an Oct. 31 initial appearance on charges of conspiracy to commit animal cruelty, conspiracy to kill a wild horse and being an accessory after the fact.
Two Kemmerer men, 40-year-old Clint Proffit and 41-year-old James R. Hoffman, were charged earlier with killing a wild horse, animal cruelty, conspiracy, property destruction, and defacement for allegedly performing the castration.
They, too, were released on their own recognizance.
Investigators said Reid had leased a ranch on Bureau of Land Management land and was branding cattle when the horse was castrated and bled to death on Feb. 9.
Reid allegedly told investigators he witnessed the castration and hauled the carcass to a spot about half a mile from the corrals.

ROCK SPRINGS - Two Kemmerer men face a variety of charges after allegedly killing a wild horse by castrating it.
Clint Proffit, 40, and James R. Hoffman, 41, made initial court appearances last week on charges of killing a wild horse, animal cruelty, conspiracy, property destruction and defacement. Both were released on their own recognizance.
According to court documents, Bureau of Land Management officers interviewed Proffit, Hoffman and others who were present on Feb. 9, when the wild horse walked into a corral where livestock was being branded. Three other men, including Hoffman's brother Randy, of Woodruff, Utah, told investigators that Hoffman and Proffit participated in roping and castrating the horse.
Proffit and Hoffman both told investigators they couldn't talk about the castration, and Proffit allegedly told investigators he believed the horse died from a heart attack brought on by old age.
These are the kind of people our government is leasing our public lands to, so they can graze their privately owned cows. They say the wild horses HAVE TO GO because they are eating up all the grassland. What they fail to say is that the cows outnumber the wild horses 200 to one!
We say REVOKE ALL GRAZING LEASES ON OUR PUBLIC LANDS and give the land back to the wild horses. Set the ones "imprisoned" free, let them all be.

Throw the book at these people. Every other citizen in this country would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for destroying government property. These "cowboys" obviously don't have a clue as to what they are doing in regards to horses. If gelding some of the stallions is deemed necessary for population control, hire a professional to do the job. I am very opposed to using my land, the land owned by every citizen of the United States, for private gain. Cancel the "leases" and let these ranchers pay for their own land and feed for their own stock. Let them bear the same costs as every other farmer, rancher, and private citizen who chooses to keep stock.

This is 100% UNACCEPTABLE...and must be prevented from happening again. These wild horses are directly related to those who helped us create our country and advance all of the things America was supposed to stand for, once upon a time. THEY ARE LIVING MONUMENTS AND DESERVE TO BE PROTECTED AND SUPPORTED AS SUCH. They are beautiful, noble creatures in and of themselves and have earned the right to live UNMOLESTED BY HUMANS....Now is the time...now is PAST TIME for us to be responsible towards supporting their success in continuing to live their wild lives in good health and safety.

If people cannot relate to animals with care and gentleness, it has been proven time and time again they are the people who go on to abuse children. If someone is cruel to animals the punishment must be severe to stop them from going on to hurt other animals and perhaps children.

In 1993, almost 1,700 of the world's scientists from 70 countries, including 104 Nobel laureates, signed a "World Scientists Warning to Humanity", which stated that "a great change in our stewardship of the earth and the life on it is required if vast human misery is to be avoided and our global home on this planet is not to be irretrievably mutilated." Our treatment of Animals ultimately affects our treatment of each other and our world. It's time we started treating animals much, much better. If your pet were the victim, you would FIGHT to see the abuse stopped! ...Why not fight for ALL innocent animal victims! |

I as an American taxpayer and land owner, demand the grazing lease on "my" public lands be revoked immediately. Revoke lease to all cattlemen and oil companies and hunters who use and abuse this land for their own evil greed. What these men did is disgusting, disturbing and they belong in jail or a mental institution for the rest of their lives. If they were to do this to a human man they would be locked up for life. I am tired of my tax money paying for stupid redneck antics like what this poor horse suffered.

I, as an American taxpayer and land owner, demand the grazing lease on "my" public lands be revoked immediately. In fact, revoke the grazing privileges of all cattlemen, especially that of Clint Proffit and James R. Hoffman and return our lands to our wild horses. It belongs to them and you have no right to lease and subsidize cattle grazing on any of lands belonging to the American people. Under this administration the BLM has changed directions completely and are one of the most useless governmental agencies. Everyone write your elected officials, publish newspaper articles and give these "crooks" all the negative exposure you can.
