The event, hosted by the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group and the American Wild Horse Campaign, two unabashed proponents of PZP, will occur April 22, according to a story in today’s online edition of the White Mountain Independent.

Although ‘Perseverance,’ the rover, has demonstrated the advantages of a mobile fertility control platform, the drone has taken the idea to a whole new level.

“This is exactly what we’ve been praying for,” said one of the ranchers who witnessed the flight from a closed-circuit monitor.

“Those horses have been robbing us of our birthright for fifty years,” quipped another, “and it’s time somebody did something about it.”

A spokeswoman for one of the leading advocacy groups, who wished to remain anonymous, described the technology as “a breakthrough.”

Table 4 in the Draft EA does not provide allotment sizes and grazing seasons, nor the percentage of each allotment falling inside the Complex, so key management indicators for the five HMAs involved, such as forage allocations and stocking rates, can’t be determined.

That would be a substantive comment on the EA.

What are the management priorities in these HMAs?  Do privately owned livestock receive better treatment than wild horses and burros?

The Proposed Action reads like a pest control program: Roundups, fertility control vaccines, intra-uterine devices, non-reproducing animals (males and females) and sex ratio skewing.

As for the allotments, RAS provides some information.  Four are managed by the Black Rock Field Office and one by the Humboldt River Field Office.

The Allotment Master report for Black Rock shows three in the Improve category and one in the Maintain category, while the report for Humboldt River shows one in the Improve category.

Alder Creek

• 123,363 public acres
• Improve category
• 5,913 active AUMs

Paiute Meadows

• 168,538 public acres
• Improve category
• 3,549 active AUMs

Buffalo Hills

• 440,982 public acres
• Improve category
• 4,114 active AUMs

Soldier Meadows

• 329,129 public acres
• Improve category
• 12,168 active AUMs

Leadville

• 54,013 public acres
• Maintain category
• 1,291 active AUMs

The total grazing area is 1,116,025 acres, with 1,062,012 acres in the Improve category.

That means 95% of the BLM grazing land associated with the Calico Complex does not meet standards for rangeland health.

As of today, there is no category for blaming substandard conditions on wild horses and burros.

Communities served by the Colorado River and its artificial lakes may be facing a water shortage declaration, according to a report posted yesterday by AP News.

An observable effect of drought in the wild horse world might be a jump in emergency roundups, accompanied, perhaps, by AUM reductions in grazing allotments.

The author tries to link the situation to (man-made) climate change, a fake problem that started off as global cooling, which couldn’t be demonstrated, followed by a shift to global warming, also unproven, supplanted again by climate change so its adherents could play it both ways.

Frequently, the term appears with concerns of hotter temperatures, as in the story, suggesting that they still believe in the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Water vapor, belched into the atmosphere by industrial and commercial cooling towers, and also by evaporation from lakes, rivers and oceans, is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 but you never hear about it!

The new platform, built around traditional values, will be a combination of YouTube and Twitter, according to a report dated April 15 by NewsBusters.

As of today, the site consists of one page where new users can pre-register with a mobile phone number.

This scene at the Palomino Valley Off-Range Corrals, photographed yesterday, is a consequence of the resource management process, not a cause of it.

If you want to help America’s wild horses, look upstream in the management process, understand why they’re being removed from public lands and address those causes for a lasting solution.

The presence of youngsters in this video represents a turning over of the genetic soil in the herd, some of whom—if they survive and can stay on the range—will start their own bands, continuing the process.

This characteristic, essential to herd viability and ruggedness, is dismissed by some of the ‘advocacy’ groups, who proudly interfere with breeding patterns.

Don’t give them a penny.

Perhaps they mean well.  Maybe they’re shills for the public-lands ranchers.

Who knows.

What will be the condition of their horses when their journey is complete?

Do they understand that if livestock grazing was discontinued in a just a few dozen HMAs all wild horses could be removed from holding pens, not just 5,000?

If you want to help America’s wild horses, don’t focus on the horses.

Instead, look upstream in the management process, understand why they’re being removed from public lands and address those causes for a lasting solution.
