The closure of two HMAs and the downsizing of a third will reduce opportunities for the helicopter contractors and wild horse advocates, the two leading players in the livestock protection industry.
The advocates oppose the roundups but not the removals, preferring to take horses off the range with the Montana Solution.
Both groups offer the same results, assuring that most of the food and water in areas identified for the horses go to the public-lands ranchers.
The Montana Solution takes longer to implement but, unlike helicopter roundups, the herds don’t bounce back.

The ‘Montana Solution’ is NO SOLUTION …. instead, it is the equivalent of FUNCTIONAL EXTINCTION!
