The 2016 incident, prompted by an exposé that turned public support away from the group, led to the removal of approximately 900 horses from the sanctuary, in harsh conditions during the winter.
ISPMB released a statement in 2018 in response to the actions.
The advocates eliminate that many horses every year with the Montana Solution, to the delight of the bureaucrats and ranchers, and will get rid of more if given the chance.
Some may be negotiating with roundup contractors right now to submit proposals for catch-treat-release.
If successful, the case brought by ISPMB against the Forest Service might actually help the horses.
The advocates should try that sometime.
