BLM Confirms It Killed Six Of Bundy's Cattle

The Bureau of Land Management
is confirming it killed six cattle as part of its standoff against the Bundy
Ranch in Bunkersville, NV.
“A total of six cattle died or
were euthanized,” a BLM official told Breitbart News.
The official listed the dead
livestock cataloged by the BLM explaining, “The Bundy branded bull that was
euthanized posed a significant threat to employees during the gather. The Bundy
branded cow ran into a fence panel injuring its spine and was euthanized.” The
dead animals listed by the official were:
- 1 Bundy branded bull was euthanized
- 1 Bundy branded cow was euthanized
- 1 unbranded bull was euthanized
- 1 unbranded cow was euthanized
- 1 unbranded bull died
- 1 unbranded cow died
According to the BLM, the gather
was based on recent court orders. “Most recently, in 2013, in two separate
orders, the U.S. District Court of Nevada directed Mr. Bundy to remove his
cattle within 45 days, and authorized the United States to impound his cattle,”
said the official.
The Bundy Ranch Facebook page, run
by Bundy’s daughter Bailey Bundy Logue, posted photos of dead cattle from a mass grave, which
they say belong to the Bundy Ranch, a few days after the BLM impoundment and
called the agency’s actions “unjust.” The Bundy Ranch claim the cows and bulls
were either “run to death” or shot.
The People for Ethical Treatment
of Animals weighed in on the situation as well telling Breitbart
News in a statement, “These animals shouldn't be killed either by the
government, or by the rancher who plans to send the cows off to slaughter. The
best thing anyone can do to stop the suffering of animals is to go vegan.”
The Bundy family has refused to
stop allowing their cattle to graze on federally-owned land, saying the federal
government does not have any authority over them. The impasse led to a tense
standoff last-week in which both federal agents and Bundy supporters had sniper
rifles trained on each others. The government ultimately backed down, at least
for now.
