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.

Cruelty to animals needs to entail stricter punishments. People are literally getting away with murder. Let the horses be. It's their grass.

So, the government lets these type of "men" use grazing land so that...let me get this right...they can torture the wild, I was here first, horse, and let the genetically engineered cows (poor things, not the cows fault) eat a ton of food to produce a small amount of unnatural food, Of course this makes sense...government is all about money, "men" are all about money...NOW DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHY MOTHER EARTH IS GOING TO KILL OFF 2/3RDS OF HUMANS????

No! No! No! We are not barbaric. We cannot allow this to happen in America... Animals on this planet deserve the right to live as they were placed here for that reason!

What is wrong with human beings that cause grief and pain to the animals. Its horrific. These critters deserve to have some space on this planet to LIVE.

These jerks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but after wild horse advocates are allowed to castrate them in the same manner they castrated this poor horse. If they bleed to death, then it will save a lot of court costs and government expense. If they have BLM leases they should be revoked immediately and never again allowed to lease government property to graze cattle or livestock of any kind. But if you take the first step, the second requirement will be a moot point. Give the land back to the wild horses and leave them alone.

Cruelty is cruelty and the penalty needs to be raised. People need to take responsible when they cause or aid the death or injury of defenseless animals.

Who do the BLM think they are taking these precious lives and putting them in prisons of paddocks, moms loosing their foals, foals loosing their moms, breaking up family herds and destroying natures defense of numbers for proper breeding and safety in safe numbered herds. Humans are suppose to be the most intelligent creatures on earth, but compassion and empathy in their roles are long lost for many. It is wrong and I am against the government using our tax dollars funding such destruction and ignorance.

Our wild horses should come first before any lease of grazing lands for domestic stock or game animals. All grazing leases should be suspended and wild horses released on to federal lands if they were present there in the 1800s.

This is hardly surprising. It's not financially beneficial for our government to NOT lease land; if the land is only used for natural purposes, allowing the wild horses to run free, they don't make a dime. Furthermore, since when is it illegal to castrate an animal? As horrifying and depraved as this act is, remember, dear people: factory farmed animals are castrated by the billions every year, with no anesthesia. And, yes, this is legal and, again, done by the BILLIONS each year. So for anyone to be appalled by this, please switch to a vegan diet. Otherwise, you are just a hypocrite. All animals experience pain and suffering, not just the ones you care about. Furthermore, this case is almost three years old, this petition one year old. Any status updates?

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.
