A follow up to the Press Release by the BLM regarding the shooting and deaths of two Onaqui stallions:
‼️Actions you can take‼️
‣ Please send info directly to the BLM Utah Law Enforcement Tipline at 800-722-3998. You can choose to remain anonymous. We do not recommend posting information directly online out of an abundance of caution for the community's safety. Please DM or email a message instead.
‣ If you have photos from the south herd in the last week, please submit them + location here: https://www.jotform.com/211757770093157
‣ Please like, share, and comment as many of the posts/articles/etc. as you can from all organizations. Make sure the tip phone line information is included! Changing the time of day you share and comment aids in information spread. Social media is one of our greatest tools to reach the public. Let’s get this out there!
ℹ️Additional Guidelines and Informationℹ️
‣ These killings of our protected mustangs are a federal crime and are being handled as such, thus OCF will not be providing more information outside of what is being released through the authoritative (BLM, Sherriff) channels. We are solely focused on supporting their efforts.
‣ We encourage visitors to the range to use caution. Your safety is of the utmost importance.
‣ Please keep the wild mustangs wild by adhering to distance requirements when out on the range (at minimum 100 feet, and 300 feet for new foals). We want wildlife to be at a distance, not comfortable with people and vehicles at close range.
‣ OCF does not generally fundraise, however the funds we have collected in the past have been earmarked for a database to hold all the photos and files that comes with documenting the herd. We want to be transparent--the organization currently has a surplus of $2500, and we made a decision to use all available dollars for the reward money fund. Thank you to each and every one of you who has given us funds in the past. This would not have been possible without you.
We appreciate the BLM and Law Enforcement efforts to find justice and OCF is ready to assist them if necessary. Thank you to the community for rallying together.
