Henderson pretty quickly t we seen pictures of trees down in the street. And one on top of a house. Crews have been busy the last few hours working to clean up the mess. This is what it looks like near green valley and paseo verde. So what can we expect for the rest of the evening tedd . Tedd florendo Dave Courvoisier dozens of formerly wild vandals destroyed fencing and Water Supplies at a nevada horse sanctuary. Denise Valdez the horses live on a 25 Million Dollar ecosanctuary called the mustang monument, whose founder is now saying the facility may never reon george knapp of the iteam has follwed the story from the beginning and is here with the latest. george knapp Madeleine Pickens says she is thankful to the employees of the state agriculture department. Theyre the ones who found about 50 mustangs. The horses were previously in a 13,000acre fenced range but unknown persons trespassed on the property a few weeks ago, cut the fences, and disabled all the Water Supplies. Fifteen horses died, dozens more have been missing. State officials investigating the crime found the missing herd mustang monument. After spending millions to turn the sanctuary into a tourist attraction, mrs. Pickens isnt sure what the future holds, in part because of opposition shes faced from the same agency which encouraged her to open in the first place. george knapp when she began her search for ranch property in nevada back in 2008, Madeleine Pickens had high hopes. She wanted to create a sanctuary for thousands wild mustangs and establish a model that woeful management of horses on public lands. The blm didnt like the first ranch she chose, so she spent 6 Million Dollars to buy two others in elko county south of wells. More than 20,000 deeded acres, and nearly 600,000 acres of public allotments attached. Blm documents show pickens was prepared to take 30,000 wild horses out of government pens, pickens and her team say they of congress, but also the head of the blm itself. Madeleine pickens founder of mustang monument they were excited about it and he told everybody at the wild horse and burro meeting that i was doing this project. He shook my hand and said thank you very much. Jerry reynoldson wild horse advocate i was there, with other members of the team, and he made assurances to madeleine that it was a great project and that they would support her. george knapp the ranches she bought were located in beautiful country but had been neglected and overgd hoop blm put up, spent millions more to restore the ranch structures, along with a few dozen wells and springs over the vast range so that she could grow enough hay to feed her mustangs and still lease out some land to other cattle ranchers, an income source that would mean her foundation could be financially self sufficient forever. But along the way, blm changed its tune. First it asked that pickens recover. She agreed. Blm said it would require a comprehensive study of her allotment even though the bureau has been managing this same range since the agency was created. Blm documents show such a study would take 18 months. 7 years later, pickens is still waiting for blm to finish it. Pickens youve been studying this land the entire life of blm management. If you dont know whats going on here, no study is going to help you. george knapp the blm model has always been the same round thousands, operations in which many horses are killed or injured, then ship them off to expensive Storage Facilities in other states to spend the rest of their lives. Internal documents from blm show the agency concluded years ago that the pickens model would save the taxpayers more than 100 Million Dollars, but it hasnt allowed a single horse to be transferred to her operation. Slaughterhouse. Blm wont allow them on any of the 600,000 public acres, so pickens takes care of them on her deeded acres, or did until vandals trespassed onto her property, slashed her fences, and disabled all the water for a herd in the goshute valley. Pickens says she doesnt expect much from the official investigation into the crime, and has concluded blm will never allow her ecosanctuary to open. Madeleine pickens they keep moving the finish line, while saying this george knapp the iteam filed a freedom of information with blm to obtain internal documents which might show why the pickens project has been stymied for so long. Tonight at 6, we will show you whats in the files and what blm has been saying behind closed doorsvery different from whats been said in public. By the way, a reward of 100,000 dollars for information about the vandals is still being offered. Dave Courvoisier on boulder highway.
