• The White Mountain and Little Colorado HMA removals are back on thanks to outcry from Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal and pressure from Wyoming's congressional delegation. The removals are scheduled to begin tomorrow with an estimated cost of $300,000 to round them up and and additional $500,000 to contain the captured wild horses. Guess if we want something done in the Wild Horse and Burro Program, all we have to do is be a policitian.

• Speaking of wild horses and milk, apparently Anderson Dairy's milk cartons aren't the only wild horse and milk story of the week. The villagers of Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenngara, milk their free roaming horses to obtain what they believe is a whole host of benefits derived from the wild horse milk. Dompu regency administration spokesperson of Wahyuddin was quoted as saying, "the Bogor Diary Product Analysis Center stated tests results in 2004 proved 'that wild horse milk from Saneo could cure intestinal infection and stomach cancer'." The article also stated tests showed it is capable of fighting bacterial growth. http://cempaka-nature.blogspot.com/2007/11/sumbawa-horse-milk-source-of-income.html
