BLM dumps Pickens’ horse sanctuary; Coyote breaches Long Island; Wales gets Whales

The Bureau of Land Management Rejects Pickens Horse Sanctuary

In a late Friday news dump, the BLM squashed Madeleine Pickens’ plans to save wild horses by neutering them and creating a sanctuary in Nevada.

Pickens says she was blindsided.  LATimes, Madeleine Pickens
