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.

Two charged with killing wild horseBy Gazette News Services
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.

i learned the horrors of BLM's cruel and sadistic ways for "population control" of wild horses. between BLM and the Forest services, together they control over 450 acres of land across the nation.This governement owned land is being devoured by the energy industry thus killing off the wild horses. instead of auctioning or killing these horses to be sent to mexico slaughtered and hauled to foreign countries for consumption, we should allow a surplus of wolves to feed on the horses so they die naturally and things would be balanced....... oh wait legislation allowed for wolves to be hunted and now they're almost extinct! silly me.......

These are the type of people our Govt is contracting with for long-term holding facilities for our wild horses? These are our wild horses neighbors and this is how they treat them?

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.
