The text defines surgical sterilization as a procedure involving an incision and either the removal of reproductive organs, or the alteration thereof, that makes an animal permanently incapable of producing offspring.
“Nothing in this Act authorizes the Secretary to surgically sterilize any wild free-roaming horse or burro for the purposes of on-range population management.”
Nothing in the bill prohibits the chemical sterilization of said animals, as may occur with four to five consecutive years of treatment with the Montana Solution.
Why?
Because that is the plan!
The advocates backing the self-serving bill want the ranchers to succeed, not the horses.
