Eliminating cattle grazing to facilitate the well-being of herds of wild horses is not an option legally available to BLM, according to the writer of an opinion piece in today’s edition of The Salt Lake Tribune.
There was a difference in 1971 between areas where wild horses were found and areas where they were not found.
Today, some of those areas, referred to as HMAs, are managed primarily for livestock, while others, known as HAs, are managed almost exclusively for livestock.
With the 50th anniversary of the statute only about two months away, would you say that’s what Velma and the 92nd Congress had in mind?
