An undated announcement by the City of Reno indicates that the FY 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act authorized $500,000 “in federal support for the protection and humane management of the historic Virginia Range horses in the greater Reno area.”
Humane management usually means getting rid of them with PZP.
The funds were directed to the Nevada Department of Agriculture for “collaborative, science-based management” of the herd.
The announcement said the horses are managed under two cooperative agreements, one between the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses and NDA for fertility control and the other between NDA and Wild Horse Connection for range management, including rescue and relocation, diversionary feeding and fence construction and repair.
The article last August by Courthouse News said NDA had contracted with WHC to implement the fertility control program but that was not mentioned by the City.
